Well here are some pictures of my sword, it is not fully finished and has some tool marks that are gonna need to go. Just wanted to give you guys a visual aid of what I'm doing so far. ;)







Hmm, need to clean this up a little more than I thought. :\

Alex,
I congratulate you on your creation. By the way, is your sword finished?

Shahril Dzulkifli,
Thanks! The sword is not finished...unfortunately. I have been busy with other projects,but once I get time (maybe in a week) I will polish it and repost new pictures. ;)

That's pretty neat!

Even if it's not mate of the right kind of steel, I'm sure that making it was a big learning experience. The second one will be even better, and so forth.

Ya know, I wouldn't doubt that somewhere back in time, that sword has an ancestor!
As many swords that has been made throughout history by Masters and not so masters, there must be a sword out there where your is better!
Keep it up and good work!

I have been making swords from leaf springs for some 20 years and have had excellent results the trick is to find the right size not to thick and wide enough I use land rover springs 2 inch wide by about 3mm thick. I use heat when straightning a light red any more you effect the steel. this requires tempering after grinding but that is not a vast problem. If it helps I use a length of H piece girder drilled through web. The should be about 4 inches wide the bottom is sealed by plates wielded on the ends of the bottom. One plate is drilled with holes and a pipe wielded in place to allow air in. The girder is placed in a mud bed the walls built up at an angle to create a trough. This will allow you to create a long narrow fire ideal for tempering blades. have fun.
