Хорошая работа 👍

5:40 how long?? and what temperature???

wonderful hand work

It looks good but the spear is going to be much stronger if the socket sits on the outside rather than on a grade cut into the shaft. Have you tried making a socket by punching a hole into steel instead of rolling it into shape? I recall another blacksmith doing that and it looked pretty clean

very nice and simple thank you so much it really is a great tutorial. I started blacksmithing last year, didnt have any tongs or a forge so started on smaller stock, like tiny stock, practicing cold forging, andsometimes using mapp gas with a couple of bricks made some small tongs and other things, tongs i made using the old school technique you know, jaws first then turn and boss and then turn and reigns. had just build my forge the other day but got a sledgehammer head for an anvil, on a tree stump, started making proper tongs yesterday, from 1cm by 1cm square stock, going ok but hard work on a sledgehammer head. i made the first tong but now i see this video, i may go out and get me a flat bar like yours and do what you did, drawing out the reigns will be fun and good practice too, and dont need tongs to do it, so that will get me a nice set of tongs using your technique and then i can make the second tong the old school way. what size stock are you using is that 3/4 inch by 3/8 inch?

Nice! What are those scales falling out when hammering? I mean, the bar was already industry forged so I guess of good (homogenous) quality. The flakes are from metal oversaturated in carbon from the coals in the forge, and become brittle because of that? In fact, I am wondering if in traditional forging, hammering is a purifying process, removing impurities by repeated shocks breaking away links not strong or homogenous enough?

Efective for hand to hand combat great work yhe length just the right size..

Mild steel or leaf spring?

How much

getting good at this requires a lot of patience. something i dont have in abundance. great work.

very nice video, you should have that listed on your website for sale as well!! Cheers!

Sweet bow ❤

good

perfect!

Is there a reason these types of knives's sheaths have that "L" shape? It's the style, and it looks good, but is there a function to it too?

Great job. Just one question though. Wouldn't it be better to put the oil on the entire pole before you put the head on? I think that would protect the part inside the head from rot.

I really wonder what they used to cut the metal with in the old days. Does anyone have any info on that?

Beautiful 😮

How thick was the steel you started with?

That is a work of art

I thought you are going to stab the wood in the end

very interesting process, enjoyed watching it bro

Hola que tal Greetings from Colombia, my friend. I'm asking you something: What kind of wood did you use to make the bow? I'm asking you: Is oak wood used to make bows?

Po co ci to gówno?

👍

Nice work. I craftet a dagger once, turns out its hard to keep the sides of the blade symetric, i did the middle line right and left quit often^^

Раньше все делали без болгарки

👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥👍 muito bom

Just perfect ❤

Hi and good job. Was it a tree or a branch? How long did it take to dry?

Vikings would gladly kill for steel that good. Nice work too.

Weak very weak especially at the neck it will not kill.

Bloody knew dental floss was designed for something 😊

Amazing!!

What a great knife and sheath! Cheers

Good to see you again

a bit too short.

Beut Full

Would be great to have an operational test in the end of the video, like thrusting a bag of hay.

Hah! I bet you learnt a *LOT* doing this job. I bet you never made the same mistakes ever again. Epic work. Great video.

Phần ở giữa có thể gãy

beautiful spearhead, but that socket taper looks far too short for the length of socket you made. I think you are going to have a gap between the end of the shaft and the beginning of the spear's base. Won't that risk the spear deforming under force, causing the tip to skew from its original position over time? Then again, if you aren't actually stabbing that spearhead into hard material over and over again, it probably doesn't matter much.

Stab something..,! 👍

Wow, I love your videos. Just found your page. Definitely enjoying your work and craftmanship.

Камрад а ты подумал что оно может сломаться и как сменить древко без композитного клея . Работа хорошо сделана вот только клей лишний

Одличан рад, термички недостатак! Обично трговачко гвожђе се кали у СЛАНОМ РАСТВОРУ (10 литара воде, око 500 грама соли), узалуд је калење у уљу, врх копља је и даље мек, искривиће се и иступити на сваком тврђем предмету !!! Поздрав из Србије, 👋🇷🇸.

was the socket forge-welded, or just tight? Vikings had both options, but Im curious.
