epic, cheers guys. this has joined my list of winter projects :)

don't ever try this yourself ... so obviously I need to try this myself. its not exactly an induction heater, but its appears pretty simple and potentially very useful.

carrying any blade over 3" in length in public is illegal in the UK. there are exceptions, such as if you need a knife in a professional capacity, such as a chef, for example. but you are correct, having a sword are any blade on private land for a private collection is fine. its only an issue when you step outside your front door.
