Youtuber reconstructs a poorly made Sword

[Scipio Severus]

So a while ago I found these two videos by a channel called "THE FACILITY", wherein he recreates an actual find with the most recent information on it. Basically the actual original blade was likely a rush job which made the final blade be poor in quality and so he recreates how a sword and scabbard of such make would be made, albeit with several modern tools. The videos are pretty interesting as he explains how he made the sword and scabbard as well his commentary on how and what the romans used to make their equipment vs what we're capable of today.

I have done this on RAT a good few years ago

Only problem I can see stock too heavy 8mm  no more than 5mm thick you will be surprised at how thin some swords are. On the grind a 9" grinder brave but too heavy hence he looks like it took him hours to do. The right thickness 4" grinder I could possibly do this in 2-3 hours ready for surface finishing with spring steel. Also you need a system to take down the blade in stages, if you want a flat profile. Great to see him do this though.
The scabbard he did it a lot harder way, the scabbard too thick due to stock and iron fittings too, he should have used bronze or at least brass, but I will again credit him for doing it, it just depends on what you want at the end a sword that looks Roman, or something to use if you reanact seriously.
