Hard to believe all the negativity in the comments! Love your design, you show each step clearly, you're to the point, and the product is great. Not sure why people are complaining about not having these tools. Any DIY project requires some minimal tools, and if you don't have the right tool, you can substitute something else, or just use a hand saw with sand paper. Having the tools just makes it faster and easier.

I know this film was realesed 7 years ago but why are the comments so negative? Its obviously a sword for begginers to make to learn the basics. Do they actually think they can bulid a amazing sword like that? (I still really love the design its simple just how it should be)

[ivang]

Awesome video very helpful! Gonna make one just like that!!

[stephenkincaid]

Thanks! I made two swords for my kids to play with and they are having a blast!

[jstarr]

I hope you see this. Every time I watch a video, the guy goes way too fast. You didn't really go all that fast and actually it felt alot easier to pay attention and see what you were doing. I can't wait to try this and I appreciate the way you did this. Thanks man

[familymntheis]

Thank you... Great video! My son needed a sword for a school project and we made this together.

[offensivelyalive]

You're obviously very skilled! 👍👏. Nice video man, good luck and be carefull! Getting cut on that saw has gotta hurt!

[billm]

@.35 might want to let your blade all the way up or completely stop before removing waste pieces. You have a push stick, why wouldnt you use it for more of your table saw cuts? Or make a better push stick? If you follow fishers shop on youtube he has a good push stick with a free template. The sword looks good but you are making a lot of dangerous cuts. One slip and you are going to have a serious accident. Table saws are no joke.

[joseelias]

Clickbait he’s only trying to make us do a lot of work

We all know we only need one stick and two oak planks to do this

Yeah Ive got like 200 Jenga blocks, no adhesive, and a freshly carved sword. Im thinkin cutting a center notch in 2 jenga blocks

MAKE MORE VIDEOS DUDE YOUR GREAT AT THIS!!
I have an idea: Make a sheath for your sword!

[landonbobbett]

Ooh. A fable 2 reference. Because in fable 2. When you start as a kid, you get a toy gun and a wooden sword to beat up the bully Rex. And save the dog.

[robtansey]

I'm afraid your going to seriously injure yourself on that table saw. Maybe you're left handed? But you should be standing on the other side of blade and fence. Also a push stick would make those cuts safer.

[Koosh]

that is incredible. you must have gotten major dad points!

[sPapyrus]

Wow cool sword dude it looks like a Minecraft sword so good job maybe you could make stone iron and gold and diamond to wait those are too expensive whatever I just spoke to singed or whatever

[tamarangarriott]

I’m being link for Halloween and want to use the ordon sword. This actually looks like the ordon sword! Thank you

[ECWnWWF]

It's dangerous to go alone, take this.

[markusvakalis]

This is great for learning the basics. Personally I would want a realistic looking sword, but this is great


btw, people, you don't need powertools to make this. If you just have a saw, a file, a knife and maybe some sandpaper, you'll be just fine. If not, then why the fuck are you watching this video?

[John_Fx]

I built one for a prop in a play this afternoon Turned out pretty good. For the pommel it just seemed too dangerous to do that on the saw so I rolled it around on a stationary belt sander and got the same effect. Also, I had some trouble with the setup for angling the 4th side of the blade since there wasnt' much to reference against the fence. Thanks for the video!
