Steve Sells Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I always said that us smiths were real forge animals, getting a spot on Nat Geo proves it I guess. well done mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teenylittlemetalguy Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 So how much does it cost to rent Donald Sutherland to narrate in your shop? Super cool that you got to do this! Hope they bought your blade when you finished it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewed Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Will there be more in the actual show, or is that about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hale Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Owen thank you so much for that link. I am really down on all the utube so called how to do anything videos that show poor technique and lack of fundementals such as shop layout and personal safety. Nice to see it done and really done well. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Very nice video and a fantastic seax at the end. That saxon horde was an incredible find. I remember seeing it on the bbc news website and couldn't believe Time Team weren't all over it like a rash. Great to see the work of someone from hundreds of year ago re-emerge from the ground and then be recreated by a modern smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
