I'm new to Thunder forged crafting and I'm looking to make some easy tier one (lvl 24) caster sticks. My question is does bastard sword count as a one handed weapon or does it get the two handed weapon bonus to spell stuff?

Sigh. Yes English is my first language. I just can't seem to type google correctly.
it is a one-handed weapon but if wielded without a second one with bastard sword proficiency, you get glancing blows

My understanding is that since bastard sword benefits from the Two Handed Fighting line of feats, applicable benefits apply. I've also corrected the title of the thread.
Have fun, and don't forget to gather for buffs!

I'm gonna go with no, the point of Two handed weapons additional bonuses via Thunderforged is because ya can't dual yield a 2nd caster stick, since the bonus is ON the weapon, and not acting like a buff.
Cordovan seem to think otherwise, so only one way to find out, create one, and report back to us

To maybe sorta answer it
Bswords count as both 1 & 2 handed weapons depending on what is or is not in your off hand.If you wield a second weapon in off hand then 2wf feats affect itNow as far as spell stuff bonuses ... that is a good question & something I have never tested
If you wield a shield in off hand then both 2h & shield mastery feats affect it
If you wield nothing (& I think orbs) then 2h feats affect itI would hope it follows the melee rules .... but ......More than likely for thunderforge it is treated as a single handed weapon
Mechanics - To Hit/Dam mods
My guess would be no, since it is just a one-handed weapon. It just happens to provide glancing blows in certain circumstances. Same would apply with dwarven axes.

This, oddly enough since the bonuses are equal, my toon cannot seem to decide which melee power to apply, sometimes its the one from Improved Shield Masterly +6, and sometimes its the greater two handed fighting +6.
Bastard Swords and Dwarven Axes are one handed weapons that get glancing blows (which certain feats and enhancements can increase).
They do not get any sort of two handed bonuses when crafted as a thunderforged weapon (yes I routinely use a thunderforged bastard sword so I know).
No. You will not get extra caster benefits. Same for Dwarven axe. Since they are single handed weapon. THF feats and benefits are completely irrelevant for crafting purposes. I've crafted some bastard swords and D axes and they dont get extra augment slots, and, my very educated guess, will not get extra caster benefits.
