We Made the WORLD's HEAVIEST Stormbreaker!

What kind of weapon are we talking about here? The Thanos killing kind Hey guys, it's finally time to make the handle for Stormbreaker Now, I could use my own arm but I am kind of partial to it Groot groot Groot Groot Ian can deal with that on monday Groot Scarlet Witch Thor Doctor Strange Thanos Iron man Groot Groot You're too small Groot Groot Groot No that's Jarvis Groot Groot So obviously making an actual wood handle might not work too well because Stormbreaker is really heavy. So I'm actually going to be making a steel handle And we found this nice thick piece of rusty steel pipe which actually almost looks like wood But just in case we're also going to be doing an acid etch on it using something called gun blue to make is a nice brow colour as well So let's take a look at Stormbreaker and see how we're going to attach this Alright so before we attach the two halves together we need to make sure they're actually the same weight Cause as you know if it's not perfectly balanced Well if there's too much weight you lost power on the swing Let's see how heavy the hammer is 13.89 kg Now the blade Only 11.23 kg To make the blade weigh the same as this we're going to have to add a bit more material but luckily when I built it I kind of left part of it hollow so we can actually put a few plates of steel inside to make it weigh the same So let's see if we have some chunks of steel perfect now we just have to weld these in place It's heavier! 13.02 kg 13.05 kg we need an extra 30 grams 13.05 kg 13.05 kg There, it's perfectly balanced As all things should be this actually raises a really interesting question because my Stormbreaker is hollow and kind of well it was uneven but now it should be perfectly balanced but if Stormbreaker was cast out of solid Uru Where is it's center of gravity Let's go back to Solidworks and see if the real Stormbreaker is actually perfectly balanced And the neat thing with Solidworks is you can do something called mass properties So if you actually look at this it's found the center of mass to actually be right here which as you can see is not actually centered so that means that the hammer portion of Stormbreaker does in fact weigh more than the blade which means Stormbreaker isn't perfectly balanced IT'S NOT TRUE! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO How is Thor swinging it So if the material is steel the whole thing weighs 49.24 kg That's over 100Ib is it was made out of solid steel but what if we actually made it out of Uru what is the density of Uru even? Let's assume it's atleast the density of tungsten which is one of the most dense materials that you can get on earth If we were able to make Stormbreaker completely out of tungsten it would weigh 120kg 120kg 120kg x 2.2 it would weigh 264Ib That's insane And I get the feeling Uru which is like the core of a neutron start or something like that is even denser than that so Stormbreaker truly is a weapon to kill Thanos Anyway Groot it's time to attach you to Stormbreaker Now hang on why am I even building Stormbreaker anyway Well I think the answer is pretty obvious I really really like to smash things which is why I love the new mobile game CATS Crash Arena Turbo Stars And they've actually sponsored this video How the game works is you're a mean street kitten and you're a mechanic You build a car, you equip it with weapons and then you battle other players to win the championship the car fights automatically so it's up to you to make it the best It's acutally kind of like battle bots you can play with friends, join guilds and rihgt now they even have a game mode called all stars which let's you play on crazy modified arenas with booby traps They've also recently partnered with hot wheels which means you get awesome hot wheels parts and a chance to win real hot wheels toys simply use my link in the description below to play cats today beat the tutorial and then unlock some exclusive bonuses and if you guys want to win a Hot Wheels toy car leave your game ID in a comment below for the giveaway Now let's finish this axe Alright so this is pretty thick wall steel pipe but I think I want to reinforce just the part of the handle right at the base of Stormbreaker So I'm actually going to try and jam this pipe inside of this pipe perfect To the welder Kind of like a grim reeper axe at the moment the next piece is the hammer which gets welded to this holy crap that's a little heavy Alright to make this steel pipe look a bit more like Groot we're actually going to try and take some steel aircraft cable And wrap it around the actual hammer portion like it is on the real Stormbreaker So let's see how that works It's so slippery That's about all I want to do so we're actually just using gun blue right now to change this steel aircraft cable into black steel aircraft cable so it looks a bit more like Groot Hacksmith's cereal bowl Alright so we've got the handle for Stormbreaker made now And we've started adding some steel cable around the head of the axe to make it look a bit more like Groot And it looks pretty good but I think we can do a better job So we're actually going to be adding a whole bunch more steel cable over the entire thing And unfortunately that means it's going to get a lot more heavy but I think it will look a bit more like Groot so let's start doing that it's actually looking really good I was a little worried. I was like, did I screw up Stormbreaker? Don't you hate it when you're almost done a project and you do something that you're not sure if it's going to work and then it doesn't work and then everything you've done is for waste it's going to be tricky to weld whatever that's a future Hacksmith problem Man I don't envy that guy I need more wire! What do you got for me Dave? This needs to be rinsed off first, this is still covered in the acid Oh ya acid Now play some B-roll of someone having an LSD trip More wire Why don't I use zipties for all my welding We'll probably learn later on in this video that they just melt and screw everything up probably weld from this end and then I can tighten the vines off the end as I go So this is going to be a bit of a handle, almost completely hide this part I think I'm almost done there, maybe a bit more of the thin stuff Going to be tricky to weld though so I'm going to use some really small wire to kind of replace the zip ties as a permanent thing and then we'll also do a bit of welding You don't know pain until you've gotten one of these wires right in behind your finger nail that was a lot harder than I thought it would be So much oil Alright so we've got most of the steel cable added to Stormbreaker and it's looking pretty awesome, but It's getting harder and harder to hold, it really digs into your hand so we're actually going to take some more steel cable and we're going to wrap it around the handle like this So we have a nice spot to grab that doesn't kill your hand cause this thing is heavy I think it was around I think it was at least 90Ib, maybe 100Ib before we added the steel cable and I wouldn't be surprised if we added another 10-15Ib So I'm not even sure how much this weighs yet but it's getting pretty hefty A heft and a half, as Riley would say Anyways, let's start drilling holes Safety glasses first people! Even Elena has safety glasses... that she's not wearing! we might have to do it again I almost want to do it along the whole thing In the comics it does have stuff like this but it's just like here and here I'd say we add more pieces to it we need more steel cable than this because I want it to go at least another inch which really wouldn't be that much more cable but in the mean time let's take it off SHE'S GONNA BLOW! Alright so we want to add more cables, like this stuff going to cover this entire end here And welcome back to building Stormbreaker's handle So we've kind of ran into some creative differences here on the Hacksmith team And we're trying to figure out how we can make the handle look the best it can be So currently we've go the wire wrapped here at the top of the handle and that looks really cool And I want to do something similar over here but then the question was how do we finish over here and make it look good And we're really not too sure So, we only have 50ft left of this which means we need to go buy even more That's 50ft worth of cable So we need another 200+ feet to do all that if we wanted to And I think that's what we're going to do, because this actually does look pretty cool And it's pretty good to hold, doesn't really hurt your hands And it looks fairly even throughout Alright I require assistance Jordie? I don't understand why they're twisting It's in! And I don't think it's coming out It was too loose So they did it again Alright so this is the third time we've wrapped and unwrapped the handle But now I think we've figured out how to get it really tight by using two people See there's no way Eitri could have made this handle Because he didn't even have hands and we need four hands right now to do it I got the heavy end nonsense it's perfectly balanced Ok got some welding gloves, grab a mask Cool wow that was a lot of sparks Fit as many in as possible? that was my thought I think that will look pretty cool It's interesting how you get used to molten metal splashing off your skin and it burning Like you'd think that's something you wouldn't get used to it's like it hurt but you're like I'm going to keep welding I need more wire! Now the tricky ones Can you help me rotate it? Alright so after a lot of frustration we're in the final stretch, which means we just have to wrap from here to here, and then finish off the end nicely So we've drilled another hole, we're going to stick the wire in the hole And we're going to use some nails in the hole to stop it from moving Can someone stabilize Stormbreaker? This is what they pay me for I'm a weight scale You're dead weight You pull, I'll hit with hammer Grinder! Those get really hot! Using hammers to make hammers Which came first? The hammer or the hammer? When I first designed Stormbreaker in my head I did not think about the handle at all beyond ya we'll use some steel cable And now it's proving to be one of the most time consuming parts We've made a lot of cool stuff but I feel this is the first like almost like Artisan Pretty freakin work of art So are we trying to braise along the edge? It's actually melting Alright want to pick it up and flip it over? Can I? It's not too bad It's heavy It's about to get heavier That counter weight though So this is a chunk of tungsten Tungsten weighs It's heavier than led This tiny little chunk weighs about 20-25Ib So we put it in the hilt of this To make it actually balanced so you can actually grab it from here but without it Can't do it so much braising so little time We are going to see how much it weighs See if we destroy the scale My back is hurting 104.4Ib Just over 100Ib That's not too bad, that is reasonable training to fight Thanos may not take as long as I thought Alright so it's finally done, this has been hundreds and hundreds of hours in the making If you guys want to help support the channel and ensure that we can keep making awesome projects like Stormbreaker Consider buying my new shirt, Training to Kill Thanos because before we do the test video with Stormbreaker I think I'm going to have to bulk up a bit because I'm no Chris Hemsworth He needs the axe Oh ya that's way better Alright seriously though I hope you guys have enjoyed this project It's been a ton of work but I'm super happy with how Stormbreaker turned out we have a few more little detail pieces that we're going to do I have to hit the gym and get a bit stronger before we do the test video and you guys should hit the join button below to become one of the Hacksmith elite where you can see videos before we release them on Youtube plus don't forget to buy my new shirt thanks for watching I'm stuck

I am so glad to see the Hacksmith finally finished stormbreaker. Can't wait to see the test video.
