As always it's Dread here, let's go
Guys, lots of you asked to make something from metal so here we go
Let's collect as many likes as possible, say 10 000. Not a big deal for you to make me happy
You can download the template at the link in the description. We have many many sheets, you can make the mace out of wood and metal
So, we got the template, printed it and we start with the mace handle and the blade holder
The game offers a wide range of weapons, even nonstandard ones like hockey sticks, oars, traffic signs, etc
And we are crafting a saw blade mace, one of the most powerful and effective close combat weapons in the game
We glue the template on to a wooden part, I have a pine windowsill 28mm thick
It took 2 windowsills for the whole mace, they are about 1.2 meters long. Very big and very heavy
So, when we have glued the template on the material, we let the glue dry, for a couple of hours
and then we start cutting everything with an electric fretsaw
Next we put together the blade template and glue it on to an old High Density Fiberboard
t's only 4mm thick, it's gonna make a great stencil
The blade itself is going to be made of metal
And we are gonna cut metal with a plasma cutter
That's a great tool for metal cutting and for pieces of complex shapes
In order to get a specific blade angle, it was decided to weld a ring from a metal strip into the center
Next we put the second blade half and weld them together
You can make some depressions and cuts with a hammer, after all that's the zombie apocalypse style
We also cut 2 rings out of 1.5mm steel and make lots of cuts at the edges
Then we'll have to bend them to one side
It's going to be something like a cover that will have to be weld to the main blade so that we give volume to the structure
This way…
Now we have to smooth out all welds and remove projections.
And we can't go without battle damages, we can make them with an Angular grinding machine
To make the mace look cool we can heat some places and the metal will change color
But we have to do this like targeted so that we have a more interesting pattern
Then we drill a hole for the central axis, the diameter of the hole is 32 mm
Now it's time to prepare the handle and the blade holder
We remove all angles with a rough grater
Drill holes in the handle for screws and glue the handle with joiner's glue
Apply the glue on one half of the blade holder and fix the handle and its seat
We apply joiner's glue on the second half as well and fix it with screws
After the glue dries up, we finish forming the original shape of the saw blade mace with the same grater
Add some depressions randomly
Then make the hole on the blade bigger, try on the bolt
Drill a hole in the blade holder and try on the bolt so that it doesn't go into very easily
Paint the blade holder with a common yellow paint
You can wrap the handle with brown artificial leather or something like that
you can glue the leather with hot glue or attach it with a stapler
I chose the first option
Now we only have to place the blade and wrap it with a grey cloth strip
That's it guys, hope you like the video and don't forget about 10 000 likes. Subscribe to my channel. It's been Dread with you, bye and see you soon
