Handcrafting a Remake of Conan's Father's Sword

submitted by Mordhaus

1 decade 1 year 5 months 1 week ago

The blade is 1075 high carbon steel, hardened and double tempered. This particular blade was made by the stock removal process on a piece of steel that was forged into a flat plate by the steel mill. The bronze hilt components were made by the lost wax casting process and are sculptural quality silicon bronze.

This you can trust.

What is best in life?

TO CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES
SEE THEM DRIVEN BEFORE YOU
AND TO HEAR THE LAMENTATION OF THE WOMEN

Conan O'Brien's dad sure was a lyrical badass.

I don't know what's the big feud between sword wielder and bamboos, but it has to stop. It's been going on for too long now.

Apparently YOU'VE never been bamboozled.

Cool vid. As good as the first Conan movie was, it didn't hold a candle to Robert E Howard's work. The 'remake' was supposed to better reflect Howard's Conan but.. we all know how that turned out.

Hand carved lost wax casting... soon to be replaced by 3D printed lost wax casting.

> soon to be replaced by 3D printed lost wax casting

In 2026, the first molten metal inkjet with > 500 dpi spatial resolution is created. Metals are transported as tiny balls and then fused with high power photonics. No matter what is created, it ends up as a single crystal of metal.
