My fiance has picked up my moaning mantra now about all the people trying to do the cable and forge welding. "Weld the **** ends shut before you hammer the **** out of it!" Rather obvious. I have seen more stupid decisions on that show than I could count. More than can be just chalked up to inexperience or competition pressure or whatever. It's a fun show, the one that got me into bladesmithing (I do actually want to compete in it, but It's likely that it will be canceled before I am experienced enough to), but yeah, same goes as with all the other reality competition shows: too much theatrics, not enough thought.

Buzzkill Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I know the episode was filmed a while ago, but congratulations on the win, Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Well done Dave, good job. Do you get to keep your blade? Oh lighten up guys there's nothing to scream at, it's reality TV and most of the contestants have in the 10 or less years experience range. I enjoy watching and picking out mistakes while they're happening and predicting the results. Why should I have to make ALL the mistakes? I'll happily learn from theirs. Then they occasionally have accomplished bladesmiths and I get to learn from experts. It's entertainment not educational TV don't burst a vein, it's just TV. Frosty The Lucky.

HackerboySF Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I love this show, but I wasn't entirely happy with the most recent episode- the Zulu short spear/sword thingy... I thought the guy who was sent home first (Clarence?) got the shaft... yes, he did quench in water, but others have done that successfully before, and the "surface cracks" they showed looked more like rough spots that could be ground out than cracks. His blade shape was so much better than that silly wavy kris, and he seemed like a really good guy. The "strength test" that broke Lyle's blade seemed silly (and a bit unfair too), given the difference in the shapes between the two tips. Lyle's blade ended in a graceful, continuous curve (like the exemplar they were supposed to be replicating), and the other guy's angled in over the last inch or so of the blade's length, so his tip had a huge mechanical advantage over Lyle's. After breaking off the tip, I bet Lyle could have re-ground the tip to be virtually identical to the other guy's shape. I think that if the judges wanted to be fair they'd include the testing parameters in the weapon specs. I'm not sure why I get worked up over this kind of thing- it is just TV.

Daswulf Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 JHCC, they accept pretty rough styling as long as it holds up to the tests. Doubt the printer would hold up to the time limit itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
