Impressive update! Have you done this before? You seem like a pro. Keeping the blade symmetrical sounds like quite a challenge, but you make it look easy!
Farming and mining? These are some great new ideas to bring to the Zelda franchise! Maybe you should post replies to this topic more often so it would be easier for fans to stay up-to-date? Sorry to hear about your toothache.
Will you make the handle round, or will there be edges so the person wielding the sword can easily tell where the edge of the blade is? It looks good so far!
