Nails, um, I mean, swords....

Post by sdfgeoff »

Hammer a nail flat, and spend a few hours at a bench grinder, and then a whetstone and you have these. The long one is 11cm, and the short about 4 or 5.
Yes there is photo-editing involved.

The "made by ###" reads made by Chris. In a phonetic language of Chis' manufacture. He happens to be designing an entire race, and these are some prototype weapons....

Now you've put an image in my head of walking through a child's messy room and being chased by a bunch of sword wielding lego men, stumbling over the other bricks...

I'm afraid I don't have the equipment of skills to make damascus steel, so no.
The build process can be viewedover at instructables

I'm glad you like them. I've made two more, a cutlass and another generic sword.
I'm currently seeing if I can plate them with aluminium so they don't rust, because where I live, everything seems to rust way to fast....
Eh?
