Making the Legendary Sword of Achilles (TROY Movie) - Bronze Cast

In this video I finally make a sword I've always wanted, a replica of Achilles' sword based off the 2004 movie Troy, which is loosely based off of Homer's 'The Iliad' and the Trojan War, and the Fall of Troy. This takes place during the late Bronze Age, near the Bronze Age collapse. Although this is a 'Hollywood' sword and some aspects of it aren't very realistic/practical, such as the big hollow rivets, it is an iconic work of art, and quite a challenge to make. A very enjoyable and rewarding process! 00:00 Intro 00:42 Sand Mold 2:00 Melting Metal 2:34 Pouring and Casting 3:28 Clean up 4:58 Sanding 5:20 Work Hardening Edge 5:56 Making the Handle 8:46 Adding Rivets 9:55 Staining 11:10 Finish Sanding 12:04 Finished Sword ⭐️Check out my other videos⭐️ Casting Mycenaean Type G2a Sword -    • Making the Mycenaean Type G2a Bronze Sword...   Casting Mycenaean Type G2b Sword -    • Making the Mycenaean Type G2b Bronze Sword...   Casting Mycenaean Type F Sword -    • Making the Mycenaean Type F Bronze Sword -...   Casting Bronze Xiphos Sword -    • Ancient Bronze Sword XIPHOS | Sword Making...   ⭐️Follow me on Instagram⭐️   / bronze_wolf_   ⭐️Etsy shop launching late 2025⭐️ https://www.etsy.com/shop/BronzeWolfShop #odyssey #achilles #troy #ancientgreece #forging #bronze #ancienthistory #trojanwar
