1 BOLT Becomes SWORD - CLOUDBUSTER With Sapphires & Emeralds

In this project I make the famous Cloudbuster sword from the Final Fantasy games with an angle grinder, drill and hand tools. To make this a REAL miniature sword I used high tensile bolts because of the high carbon content which can be re-hardened afterwards. The bolts were M16 x 120mm.
After cutting the blade and handle section I cut the Gem detailed holders separately so they could be riveted together with 1mm panel pin nails.
A cut section of extendable aerial holds in place the 2 Sapphires and 2 Emeralds that make up the Materia embedded in the blade of the Cloudbuster sword. For something of this quality it was not an expensive build.

The blade was hardened in oil by using 4 small food torches. I tried to harden just the blade or blade edge but not the rest of the steel. This was almost successful. 80% of the blade edge was hard, but the very centre and the tip were slightly softer than I would have liked. In the video you can see they are not quite hot enough in those places. You Live and learn.
