In this part of the series of vids on how to forge a sword I remove the wooden pommel and replace it with a new brass pommel. THis one is much better. I show you all the steps I take in making and installing this pommel on the sword.

  • Love your video's and have a couple of ideas don't know weather they will work or not but it the guard was part of the base of the actual sword and came in at a angle to the handle then having a leather strapped handle then having no pommel at the bottom I think this would look great and a cool inscription - Rise and Rise again until lambs become lions - and how much would it cost to get all the gear to make a sword?

  • @skyrimsmadnews This all sounds great. Good creativity and thinking. Setting it all up varies in cost. Depends on how much you can improvise. The forge costs nothing if you scrounge up parts. Several hundred if you just buy one.

  • i require part 7...NOW!

    jk take your time but im exited about 7

  • @snickers763 Part 7 is posted :)

  • @epicfantasy Can you please add links at the end of your vids to the next part :) also I have been following your whole forging series and I think it would be really cool if you can start with your stock steel and try folding it a few times before you begin the drawing out.. it might make some really nice effects and lines in your metal.. just an idea.. thanks!

  • @stienerrecliner Thankyou for this comment. I really should have done this! I forget sometimes. Now I have gone ahead and added links to the next vid on each of these vids. Near the end. Thanks!

  • nery nice

  • @bearpatch626 I may do some of this. I may forge some kind of armor.

  • @MrPdante Somebody gave it to me. NOt sure where he got it. Brass that size is expensive. I did see a 2" thick rod, 1 foot in length of brass. I believe it was 800 dollars.

  • @Homemadebeats Great suggestion. Thanks. I have given a lot of thought to inscribing the blade and or pommel. I might do that. It would be a good video. Thanks.
