Bronze Sword Casting. Legionary. Aluminum Bronze Casting

I made bronze weapon in the past and now I decided to make something even better. This time it'll be aluminum bronze sword. This decorative sword is really hard and could be useful during bronze age :)

First step is to cut a sword from polystyrene foam. After that fire up a furnace and melting aluminum bronze

When bronze is melted and temperature is appropriate for casting than I can cast.

After temperature decreased I opened a mold and found out that quality of the item is pretty good

Sanding and polishing the sword with an angle grinder

That's the sword, so let's test it in action... Well, it won't be a real battle :) but watermelon won't survive. It works and looks good
