Stormcrow Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Some of y'all may (or may not) recall a few years ago I built an 18" sword blade for Joerg Sprave, the German mad genius of creative and deadly slingshots and other unconventional weapons. He built a handle for the blade that (of course) incorporated a slingshot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWI0jqsW4Cc I was pleasantly surprised to see today that he had brought the slingsword back out, as a basis of comparison for a wooden sword he had made from European dogwood, the hardest wood that grows in his area. The slingsword shows up just before 8:00 in the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCjXZk-vzvg As far as I'm aware, this is the first time a blade of mine has been used on a tatami mat cut. His comment: "The tatami felt like NOTHING AT ALL when I attacked it with your blade... great work for sure." :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-1ToolSteel Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Nice Stormcrow! That guy is somethin' else. I've actually made a couple of his contraptions.(one of which, I haven't shot since the time it backfired, knocking my safety glasses off) He's smart enough to invent something really useful if he wants to. Some people just stay 12... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrow Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Joerg is a hoot and a half. I enjoyed the opportunity to build a blade for him, and am glad to see him bring it out and cut stuff with it again. He's done some neat stuff with compressed air guns lately.
