Two Tinkerers Build a Real Life Version of the Flaming Sword (Shishkebab) From ‘Fallout 4’

Make: community editor Caleb Kraft and artist Ryan Fitzpatrick (a.k.a. “Platinumfungi“) recently worked together to build an awesome real life version of the flaming sword (Shishkebab) from Fallout 4. Their complete build process is available to view on Make:.

We previously wrote about Caleb’s flaming ukulele inspired by the flame-spitting guitar in Mad Max: Fury Road.

There was one weapon in particular from the Fallout video game series that caught my eye. It was a flaming sword called a shishkebab. Fashioned out of hammered lawnmower blades, a gas tank from a motorcycle, and other miscellaneous parts, this thing will ignite any monster you slash. I thought it would be a really fun build.

When I saw the concept art appear online for the new version of the shishkebab in Fallout 4, I knew I had to make it happen.
