Welcome to the third installment of the "Serpent in the Blade" series! In this episode, we embark on the process of crafting the sword's fittings: the guard and two pommel pieces cast in bronze. For this classic bronze alloy, I've utilized a blend of 90% copper, 10% tin, and a 3% addition of lead.
The patterns are crafted from MDF, chosen for its ease of grinding and carving, as well as its density and stiffness, essential for withstanding the pressures of sand molding. Speaking of which, I began with a false cope to accommodate my one-piece patterns. This preliminary step ensures precise positioning of the objects within the mold before transitioning to a more robustly rammed mold, capable of capturing more details.
The final fitment was achieved entirely through filing, following initial drilling to establish starting holes.
Stay tuned for the next episode, where we'll elevate these fittings with the addition of fine silver wire in a Viking-inspired design.

  • Is it just me or did you absolutely nail those castings! They came out so clean man, nice work!

    @danthemakerman@danthemakerman2 ай бұрын

    • thats the part that got me. Most castings I've seen on youtube are so popped and barely keep the shape. He nailed it to where he didn't even have to go for a polished look and was able to have a neat cast finish.

  • Very nicely done. I especially appreciate that you redid the sand after your first attempt because it wasn't right. Saved yourself a lot of time in the long run!

    • I don’t think the first “attempt” was meant to be part of the sand mold. I believe he just set the pieces in the sand to properly pack the first side and intended all along to properly pack the second side after the first side was established. It is a common approach when creating molds. But yes, he did a fine job.

  • You could use jewellers carving wax to make the mold blanks for casting instead of wood. Then you can cast in plaster with lost wax method and have less finishing work on the castings.

  • You really nailed that casting 👌 But you might seriously consider making a hoop for your crucible next time. Holding it with tongs like you did made me wince.

  • The contrast between the bronze fittings and the blade is stunning. Beautiful work. Out of curiosity, how long is the grip? It looks a little on the long side for the average viking-age sword, but that could well be perspective.

    @Oddthetall@Oddthetall2 ай бұрын

  • In the footage around 18:20 onwards it looks like you hammered the side of the crossguard so that it bends into the fuller of the blade, effectively locking the guard onto the blade. I've never seen or heard of that, but it does make a lot of sense to me thinking about it! Do you know if this is a historical technique? I would have loved to see the process, so if you still have footage of it, maybe share it as a short? Looking forward to seeing the finished sword!!

  • When working with old pewter like that, do you check for lead content? Modern pewter is lead-free, but older pewter like you used here can be as much as 20% lead, which would change the percentages you're using in your bronze recipe... (It could make your bronze 8% tin and 5% lead...)

  • The grip end… 🥟? Chinese🥟…👈 (👀 )? Is there something that has air holes at the end of the grip? It seems to be good for swinging down long objects. Is it just sports equipment? There are air holes It seems that if your grip strength is weak, the whole thing tends to bulge out.

    • Skill issue

      @Goochgravysuppliers@Goochgravysuppliers2 ай бұрын

    • Not a skill issue, a material science issue, hot crucibles are fragile, and a mechanics issue, applying leverage to the wrong place on the crucible.

      @DaveBoatBuilder@DaveBoatBuilder2 ай бұрын

    • @DaveBoatBuilder that isn't that fragile unless you're using a bigger one, but the way he's holding it can cause the tongs to slip and it to break on the floor
