 There comes a point where you just know how to move the hammer to get the metal to do what you want, that is a good time IMO.

| I just made my first sword and I've had my forge for about 2 1/2 months- of course I've been working with it a good deal in that time and I did a lot of practice pieces, just trying to get a couple of inches of blade shape- and I watched some great videos on YouTube so I could see how real bladesmiths do it, and that helped a lot with the fine points. My sword turned out wonderfully- almost exactly as I'd wanted it to (a recreation Roman Gladius mainzensis). |
