TEACHING OUR EDITOR TO MAKE A KNIFE!!!

[@JamiePopple]

So many awesome comments after just 45 minutes of going live, thanks so much for the words guys! 😊 I also want to give a massive thanks to Alec for inviting me out to visit Montana, I had a fantastic time and would love to visit again in the future! 🙌

[@benni8928]

Great work man

[@JDStone-jg8cg]

You're worth the praise man! You do EXCELLENT work on TERRIFIC videos!!! I enjoyed getting to see you stepping in to take part in the craft you've been editing videos of for years!

[@austinheywood3255]

Jamie, your editing is the best I've seen on the tube! Hey just curious... did you start getting hooked on freedomheight while you were playing in Big Sky country? It's kinda contagious! But seriously, great videos!

[@socscholar14]

I enjoyed seeing your dry British wit again! So glad you're still editing Alec's videos even after all this time. We all know how bad things would get if he had to go back to editing again...

[@thomasmills6789]

Been a fan of the channel for a year now, and I appreciate the dedicated editing so much! Fantastic work! Each video is a work of art.

[@MrHeDiablo]

The editor is incredible. The way he syncs the hammer to music and cuts? I can tell he cares a lot about it!

[@gregoriikatastrov7472]

Yeah, he's my quiet hero. His work is one of main things which makes me more attracted to this channel than to the others. And the musical taste.

[@joshuaurbany6468]

Yeah, but I liked the old vids when he swore to never craft a sword and was self-editing. It had charm but now it's just done really well

Cool to see the man behind the editing. One of my favorite things about this page is that the forge work is stylish. I like the information given with every video and learning with you guys, but the style and flare the videos are made with make them enjoyable to everyone, not just metalworking/blacksmithing fans.

[@The.Talent]

Just a thought, it might be interesting to see some of the more logistical parts of the workshop. I’m sure you guys aren’t just a bunch of kids playing games around fire and dangerous tools. Teach us how you use the equipment safely. My thoughts on this started thinking about how you were just a wee lad when you started and I’m sure you’ve had to learn many times “don’t touch the glowing red things”

[@BothHands1]

as someone from africa, where zebras are actually from, i can confirm, alec is saying it correctly.

[@adamlucas4753]

It's a tautology, you say 'zehbrah' because they say 'zehbrah'. The word is actually Italian/Portuguese and is/was originally pronounced with a long 'e'. Not that Americans are striving for historical accuracy to the Portuguese origin.

He’ll be able to post it home and at that size it’s legal to own. We aren’t allowed to carry knives in public unless they are being carried to / from work or are an integral part of our job.

It would be great to hear more from you about the "organic" nature of metal and how it moves. Forging is clearly not just about hammering a piece of metal into shape.

Good work Jamie! Alec, before you started the Zweihander you asked for suggestions on what to do next. If that's still open; I have one. Maybe try forging closer to the finished dimensions of the pieces you work on going forward. Getting better at that will save you time in the grinding room (though there obviously will be some) and material (if you're closer to final dimensions from the forge, there's going to be less metal ground up).
