Barbarian Tech on the History Channel

[Nick]

I watched a Modern Marvels on the History Channel earlier today about "Barbarian Weapons". It was typical History Channel medieval fare, lots of broad generalizations and serious oversimplifications (the HC sometimes have good programs, but I'm usually disapointed by anything they have on the Middle Ages )

However, early in the program they showed a smith named Hector Cole forging a Celtic sword, and I thought this was outstanding:

"When you put the metal in the fire, your mind goes in with it."
