In this Chapter, Caleb and I are building the Mandalorian's blaster and spear.
Welcome to Chapter 2 of the Mandalorian Series.
Over the next few months Hacksmith Industries will be piecing together
our very own Mandalorian Suit. We aren't just stopping at the armour.
We'll be including a few weapons and even a couple of special builds.
All leading up to an epic finale where James will don the suit for the first time
and put it to the ultimate test.
You definitely don't want to miss it.
In Chapter 1, James built Mando's flamethrower.
If you missed it there's a link in the description below.
With the flamethrower complete he's moved on to the most recognizable and
iconic piece of the entire project, the helmet.
And like every chapter in the series
that video is available early, as in right now! Exclusively to members.

With James busy on the helmet I get to take on building Mando's trusty blaster
and for good measure we're gonna do the spear as well.
Lucky for me a couple of years ago we built the Han Solo blaster
so I can use that as my reference.
For the spear however well that's just a pointy metal stick sounds
like a perfect project for a new co-op Caleb.
What?
This is our Han Solo blaster.
Like I mentioned earlier we built it a few years ago to shoot at the Death Star.
That's no moon!
It's basically just a flare gun and although it is
quite similar to Mando's blaster there are quite a few differences as well.
Which means I can use it as reference, but I will need to do a full aesthetic redesign.
Luckily there is no shortage of reference material online so it should be fairly simple.
Let's get started!
Bogdan didn't really introduce me so I guess I'll do it myself this is Caleb.
Caleb studies mechatronics engineering at the University of Waterloo.
It says here that he's been programming since grade school
and he's even designed some PCB's for the Waterloo Formula Electric Team.
I think we'll hire him.
My first assignment will be designing the Mandalorian's beskar spear.
While he gets started with that.
I'm almost done with the blaster design.
Let's take a look.
So there's two side plates over here that we can laser cut out of mild steel.
We can 3D print some wooden handles onto it using some wood fill filament
and then the nozzle we can actually turn on the lathe and then weld the
whole thing together to give this beautiful blaster look.
Let's make it real!
This portion of the video is sponsored by a special game celebrating its two-year anniversary.
That's right Raid Shadow Legends is two years old!
Hey you guys brought a cake too?
I'm sure you've heard of it already.
I mean I've talked about it on our channel a ton of times but
the real question is why haven't you tried it yet?
It's an epic RPG where you collect
train and outfit your team of heroes to go on the ultimate adventure.
What I like most about Raid is building up an awesome team of heroes,
equipped with all the right weapons, and armor.
Not unlike what we do here at Hacksmith Industries.
To celebrate their two-year anniversary there will be
six weeks of anniversary events and tournaments.
Starting on March 1st.
All with insane prizes to win.
They're even launching the first Clan V Clan tournament to give
players a chance to compete directly against other clans to see who's best.
They're also releasing the first champion in the badass looking Shadowking Faction.
Which I can't wait to see.
Just click the link below to get a free epic champion.
Jotun, 100, 000 silver, 50 gems, and three ancient
shards so you can summon some awesome champions as soon as you get in game.
Once you're in you can find me as The Hacksmith,
and who knows if you act soon maybe you can join my clan.
I'll see you in game!
Raid Shadow Legends.
Hey Caleb.
Let's see what you got.
Alright so here we have the Beskar spear head and it's got three parts.
We've got two blades and those are going to be
made out of 1/8th stainless that we can slice out on the laser cutter.
Then this point is going to be machined on the lathe and I think it'll look really good.
This flange sticking out here is so that it can easily slide into the stainless steel tube
and we'll be left with a really nice 6ft long Beskar spear.
Alright well that looks good to me.
I guess I'll get to it.
This spear looks so good.
Thanks!
That finish took forever to do but I'm so glad it turned out well.
Check out the blaster though couple of finishing touches and we'll be ready to test!
Awesome that worked really well!
I love a good fire, well how do we test the spear?
It works. Nice!
With the spear, blaster and flamethrower finished we're
getting closer to completing the entire Mandalorian Suit.
In Chapter 3, James will build the iconic helmet.
That video is available right now to members.
