I'll send it off to the Black Oxide place tomorrow, when it comes back there's maybe a day or two to get it finished off (depending on how hard it is to sand the Oxide off the edge bevels). In the meantime I'll be editing all the footage I have thus far.

This was a request from one of my Personal Video level backers, but I thought it was of enough of a general appeal that you guys might get a kick out of it too!

The clip above isn't too much of a spoiler since the sword is so small in the shot, but the Chaos Nurgle sword is finished so the video will be done by this weekend! There was a time crunch on this one cause the person it was for is in America but only for a short time, and I had promised them I could get it to them so they could fly home with it. ...

Hey! Elucidator will be ready in Two weeks, but simultaneously I will be working on a Chaos Warrior sword for Fatshark, the guys who made Vermindtide, so instead of double charging you guys at the end of next month, I thought it best to split things up. The Steel for the chaos warrior sword will be arriving on Friday, so I have one more week I can ...

This sword is huge and took ages. Now let's see can I get Elucidator made by the end of the month.

I was recently contacted by a crowd that wanted me to do an ad in front of a video, but I didn't want to put the ad in front of the video for the Requiem Build video I'm STILL working on, I think the full build videos should be sacred in that regard (I think when people have sent me free stuff out of the blue I give those guys a shout out, but I'd ...

This months sword is Requiem from Soul Calibur, I thought it would be the same amount of work as the Dragonslayer, but there are several pieces that make it more complicated, which will be good for the video, but means I underestimated how much work it would be (mostly I didn't stress out enough when the steel took ages to arrive, cause I thought i...

I wanted to make the joke "a balisong for Gally-san" but A. I don't think that rhymes unless you have an Irish accent and B. The number of people who know what Battle Angel Alita is relatively small, and the number of people that know she was called Gally in the original Japanese is even smaller. Anyway there's the video.

My hand is fine but my wife winced while looking over my shoulder at this clip so I decided to use it for the preview. I still have to stick on the pieces at the ends of the handles and finish welding everything but it should all be done tomorrow.

Quick Status update, the beast from the east killed my power early yesterday, I am posting this from a clunky library computer with squishy keys this has delayed getting the Bat'leth finished but hopefully power will be back by later today!

Apparently this month only had 28 days. The Bat'leth I'm making is nearly there, but not quite yet (If we pretend this month has 30 days, then I will get it done in time probably). This month I have also been distracted by... "a game I made" is the simplest way to phrase it, but I only vaguely feel like it's my game anymore. Now I feel more like I'...

I had an interview a few weeks ago with a lady from bbtv, Adam of Pretty Hate Machining (you should check him out too) convinced me to at least hear them out, he signed up with them and reported back that they were on the level.

This has taken me so long compared to what I thought it would take. What have I been doing in January, the vents on the back of red queen, shaping the frames on those decoration plates and welding those together, the funny little piece at the bottom of that plate, the gear looking thing, the little box that holds the handle lever on (that handle is...

The same thing happened to me the end of last year so I might just have to accept this is the pattern, but I feel like I only got 1 months work done over the course of the previous 2 months.

Guys, heads up, I don't think there will be a video this month, between both my parents deciding to visit from Ireland (separately), thanksgiving, Christmas, working on a secret future project and getting a new puppy, I think my time is going to messed up for a while.

One of you guys sent me this box of discs ages ago, I remember getting the box, but before I could open it it went POOF and I only found it again today. It's been sitting in a weird nook under my desk for months. A belated thank you I am sending you a message now!

So I tried doing a simple sword this month to catch up, and I very nearly made it. There's another day's work in Zangetsu, I could probably get it mostly done today but my kids are barking at me to get the Halloween show on the road. Also in case you haven't seen it I put out a short Halloween movie last night: 2017-10-31 19:18:16 +0000 UTC View Post
Zangetsu is nearly done, in the meantime please enjoy this short little bonus video. Best bit is at the very end.

This one took sooooooooooooo long. This month I am making Zangetsu. A nice easy one, but I'm making it without a buyer lined up. Any of you guys want to buy it? The video will go live at this link when it's finished uploading: https://youtu.be/wePzfOcMcAg

Sorry to keep you waiting so long guys, this one just seemed to go ON and ON and ON. It's still not finished, it's getting its brass coating tomorrow, but I didn't want to leave you waiting so here is a shortish preview of stuff.

This Axe is getting brass plated on Thursday, so I HAVE to have it done by then! I honestly thought this one wouldn't be too hard, but man those four frames that go on the axe blade itself, they just seemed to go on forever. I should have a video next weekend, unless more crazy things happen!
