Meet the 'Giant Sword Guy' of Martha's Vineyard

Michael Craughwell makes giant swords in West Tisbury. Find out what that's all about in this CapeCast video.

"I'm called the giant sword guy because you can't get them anywhere else: I'm the guy," says Michael Craughwell of West Tisbury in a CapeCast video posted on YouTube earlier this year.

Watch "The man who makes giant swords."

Burly, bare-chested and hirsute, clad in a leather kilt and folkloric necklace, Craughwell demonstrates some of his swords, including a 54-pound, real-metal recreations of a weapon from the virtual game Final Fantasy.

According to the video, Craughwell's swords are back-ordered; inquire at his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Michaelcthulhu.
