In this paper, fabrication techniques for nanoscale metallic nanobeam specimens have been proposed, and mechanical properties of the fabricated gold nanobeams have been evaluated by nanoindentation techniques and nanobeam bending test. Elastic modulus and hardness of gold nanobeams were measured to be $109.6;{pm};10;GPa;and;1.73;{pm};0.3;GPa$, respectively, from the nanoindentation test, while elastic modulus was $241;{pm};7;GPa$ from the nanobeam bending test.
