Very nice work, you are an artist in many different skills.

I love you videos, i just came across them last week or so.

Thanks

[eooe1]

very good videos!!! you are asume. can you make like this sword? /watch?v=AxU5xBXezIU plz answer

[borelee1]

ey i love your videos and your swords! do you take orders and craft these for people? greetings from Japan

[brotherbanzai]

@borelee1 Hello, yes I do take orders for custom swords. The three shown in this video were made to order for someone. My website is listed at the end of the video if you care to take a look around.

[SaintOLlama]

I must ask, do you do custom blades? And as well, how much would these amazing swords cost?

[brotherbanzai]

@SaintOLlama Yes I do. A single sword can be between $2000 - $3000. A set of three with scabbards could be up over $7000 and take half a year to complete.

[bigbillysbeard]

@brotherbanzai well brother seeing your craftsmanship, the works of art( cause i cant call them swords there so much more than that) are worth every penny/cent/etc.

[MajorHowdy]

More great swords and vid to go with them.

[brotherbanzai]

@MajorHowdy Thank you.

[xxwes997xx]

Badass video Jeffrey, how long does it take you to do the sculping of an inricate hilt like that one?

[brotherbanzai]

@xxwes997xx Thanks. Something like that takes around 40 - 60 hours, I didn't keep exact track of the time. That's for the original sculpting only, not the molding, reworking the wax, casting, and all that other stuff.

[GTO656]

BEST VIDEO EVER

[brotherbanzai]

@GTO656 Sweet! Do I get a prize?

[ASSMYLICK]

could you do a tutorial of how you make the moulds in detail please? it is something i would like to get in to thank you.

[brotherbanzai]

@ASSMYLICK Go to smooth-on(dot)com or polytek(dot)com for lots of tutorials on mold making.

[caibarien71]

Very impresive craftmanship... one question, I noticed the writing on the sword seem to me elvish, at least I recognized a few letters from the LOTR book,,,is that so?.... what does it read ?.......Thanks

[brotherbanzai]

@caibarien71 Thank you. The writing is runic, I don't know if it is a historical form or a modified form as seen in Tolkien's books. The images to be etched were provided to me by the customer. The dagger reads, "strength and honor". The short sword reads, "there is no fear only strength". The large sword reads, "suffer no guilt yee who wield this in the name of odin" an homage to the Conan movie sword.

[geok85]

Nice Swords! There is no fear only strength ;)

[brotherbanzai]

@geok85 Thanks! Yep.

[11marioboots]

Do you quench it in water?

[brotherbanzai]

@11marioboots Water would be too fast a quench to safely use on this type of steel. Most of my blades are 1075 which is oil quenched, I use used ATF.

[eshyoboy]

i found this to be very relaxing kinda tok me to a time where skills mattered , thanks for sharing your work

[brotherbanzai]

@eshyoboy Thanks, I'm glad you appreciated it. The music helps I think, it was one of the free tracks on youtube.

[TheNativesamurai]

How did you learn how to do this? did you have to go to a school or somthing?

[brotherbanzai]

@TheNativesamurai I learned the lost wax process of casting bronze by working through all the jobs in a bronze foundry over about 7 years. Taught myself how to sculpt. Learned how to make molds and make blades by doing a lot of research and reading.

[shakeval]

have you considered making any large halberds or a two handed long axe?

[brotherbanzai]

@shakeval I have a heavy spear on the back burner but other than that, not really. There aren't many limitations on what someone can commission from me though.

[parones]

[MrGuitarrer]

[brotherbanzai]

@MrGuitarrer Thanks a lot! It's cool that you subscribe but you know I get absolutely nothing out of people subscribing to my vids. Thanks for your appreciation of my work though, it's always nice to know people like what I do.

[neubert500]

Wow... words are inadequate. 

[brotherbanzai]

@neubert500 Thanks :)

[roargathor]

Incredible. You're passion for the craft is evident in the product. I can almost hear the blades singing in my hands....

[brotherbanzai]

@roargathor Glad you like them. I believe in the saying, "anything worth doing is worth doing well." - Hunter S. Thomson, I think.

[malgoon]

You do amazing work. Those are beautiful swords.

[brotherbanzai]

@malgoon Thank you.
