LEGO Glamdring Strength Test (Sword Replica from The Lord of the Rings)

Testing the durability of my life-size LEGO replica of Glamdring, the elven sword of Gandalf in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

Yes, that's really just LEGO, no I didn't use glue or anything else to reinforce it (besides some advanced building techniques); it's all purist.
