The "ONLY 3 inch wheel" part is the flat backing for the belt; when the back plate is removed, you can use other wheel sizes.
@DragonHeart53
@DragonHeart53 5 жыл бұрын
or, potentially, the "3 inch" part is the width of the wheels. not their diameter. since having a wheel that is wider, or thinner than the belt would be bad. the diameter of wheels can be what ever he wants them to be. but the width has to always match the drive wheel. which is likely also supporting the guide plates that make sure the belt doesn't go slipping off the wheels. the wheel that's also doing the grinding would also loose effectiveness if it were wider than the belt itself.

It's the new trend. Almost every channel I'm subscribed to suffers from this wave of reckless trolling. I wonder if it comes from the same source than during US elections. It's very similar. I wouldn't be surprised if the same trolls are giving their accounts some history to be able to bypass youtube filters in the future. Thank Donaldo Trompeta for this.

aluminum is a softer metal so it gets dings and nicks from transport and handling a lot quicker. Could also get bent easier. Steel and aluminium both oxidize so they would both need some sort of coating (clear coat/oil) and the cool factor of steel over aluminium.

He's making it to go with his comic con armor that was made of aluminum. Aluminum has a slightly different color to steel so if he had a steel sword with his aluminum armor you'd notice the color change. Also aluminum was the material used in the film's armor and swords so as he's making a prop and not a weapon that needs to be taken into account for accuracy.

Holy crap it made me so nervous when he was polishing the wire wrap that he had only affixed with glue!! 😰 I also kinda thought maybe he should be wearing a mask when all those metal shavings were flying. I totally agree with how awesome it is to polish brass. There is just something about brass that makes it shine brighter and hold a polish better than other metals! I also liked using brass with silver in jewelry projects when I was in college for metals and jewelry as they look nice together.

Twistfaria it's non ferrous and doesn't oxidise as easily as ferrous metals. That's why it holds it's shine for longer. Still if you really want it to retain its shine give it a clear coat after you polish. Bada bing bada boom, everlasting shine.

I love the focus in Adam's eyes. It's been a long time since I was a model maker, almost 20 years ago in college. I remember that look of focus where the minutes turn into hours and you don't remember what time it is or who you are. You are the piece that you're working on. The piece is everything. Rapid prototyping and model making is an incredibly intense and rewarding process. I've always loved his work. However, leave off the gloves. If that glove catches, that's how you lose a hand. If you need a glove to keep from being hurt, stick with hand tools. If you catch a finger on the belt, it hurts but it will heal. If the glove catches, it will pull the whole hand through. I know that Adam is experienced and knows how to be careful, but people watching might not be. I do use gloves when grinding, but I accept the risk and am very careful. I've been snagged by a belt before and almost lost a finger on a lathe due to keeping my wedding band on. Never again. Bare hands, rolled sleeves, shirt tucked in, respirator on, eyes on, careful. Again, skin will heal, a whole hand does not come back.

I'm no expert, but it has the shape, taper and size of a steel sword, but is made out of aluminium. Aluminium is lighter than steel so the balance may be too far back to the handle, and light, hence limiting chopping power. Good for handling, though.

@banjobill8420
@banjobill8420 6 жыл бұрын
It isn't clear. The Arthurian legends have been passed down and mixed and adjusted over many centuries and thus different translations have changed meanings. From my research, the sword in the stone is the same as the one from the lake. The sword Caliburn was pulled from the stone by Arthur (some sources say the sword was Merlins' failed attempt to forge a sword) Then it was stolen by a blacksmith, who split the greatsword into two single edge swords. Merlin found the pieces some time later and reforged it into a single sword; Excalibur, quenching and leaving it in the lake for the king to find. However, he could only find it if he cleared his mind and made peace with nature.
