"...Helps to cancel out the noise from the grinder, the power hammer, and from Ilya." I just choked on the beer I was drinking! LMFAO!!!

[@nathancarabajal8271]

Those axes are awesome. The guy who forged them did an incredible job and his eye for detail is top notch. Any viking or dwarf (Gimli) would be proud to weild those bad boys in battle.

[@Morkeoth]

Unusable axes tho. Far too big and heavy, you die in battle with this without even knocking someone.

[@oncesanora]

What can I say? As a tradesman, I adore watching a craftsman make something from nothing. Please continue doing what you do. My only request is more history/cultural lessons and to continue explanations of why you're doing what you're doing. This guy though? This guy is good.

[@kittycat3564]

Love the glitch effect peppered through out the video! Its a nice call back to the first Assassin's Creed game, it makes me nostalgic lol.

I have to say, the quality of the video produced grow a lot since the start of the channel. Lightning, framing, editing, Matt improves himself greatly and has nothing to be ashamed of other youtube videos! And as always another amazing build. This channel deserve all the sub it has, and way more!

[@OKaysional]

Im glad u guys are continuing to make outstandingly Quality builds on ur own away from the constraints of another company bc seeing the standards of these vs the builds of ur past home channel is Really Something

[@BrimstoneBeard]

There is a level of roughness to the result that adds authenticity to this build. A hard balance to achieve. Beautiful work.

[@ThatWorks]

right? I agree.

[@ericbadaroux554]

Since Way of Kings was brought up. Kaladin's Shard Spear, Dalinar's Blade, or Adolins Plate/Blade (had to throw plate in somewhere)

Dude, spoilers.Spear doesn't show up until the next book. For a Way of Kings build i think Szet' blade would be more fitting, it's not as gigantic as other swords and yet just as important in the story.

[@OGKingfish]

I usually watch this channel just for Ilya and his ridiculous attention to detail but it's cool that you guys host other smaller channels that do good work too.

[@GoldmansGarage]

@@ThatWorks matt enjoy. As you get to the most recent book you will want to expand out into some of his other books as they are all connected as part of his “cosmere”. The mistborn books and the book war breaker are important to really flesh out the universe he’s built over the years and have references in the most recent stormlight archive book. The narrators Michael Kramer and Kate Reading do a great job

i think way too heavy to doublewield

[@TheFaroe]

@@emperadorromano567 maybe yes, maybe no. Is why it would be cool to know the weight.

[@sbhack2077]

Estimate per axe 8-12 kg. Which is quite light during eivor era.

[@emperadorromano567]

@@sbhack2077 sorry, but no. 8 kilograms is way too much for any weapon. Doublehanded axes would weight at top 3 kilograms, and that's already a lot.

[@simonkhsonne]

​@@sbhack2077 lol, a normal viking axe weight about 800g. In comparison some of the biggest a Zweihänder weight around 2-3 kg and they would 1.4-2.1m in length. You are almost talking about a Guts raider sword from berserk level of weight.

[@lordfluff1322]

Idea: make a series on proper forging techniques, and the proper tools, like hammers, and anvils, and how to prepare to forge properly.

[@Egeslean]

If you end up enjoying The Way of Kings, definitely check out the rest of Brandon's books. All of the Cosmere books are good, but even his non-Cosmere books are good. If you're not really into mideval-ish fantasy, I'd suggest the Reckoners series if super hero type stories are more your speed. If something a little more..odd but also normal (yeah, doesn't sound like it makes sense, but it will) is more your thing, then check out his Legion series.

[@catalinaurica107]

I would enjoy a bit more historical build' like a type xvi or type xx oakeshott sword' or maybe even better a type Xiii' in Romania from where i am the majority of the discoverd swords are type Xiii so it will be something special to me. Great work guys. Keep the art coming alive.

Always exited for a new That Works video. A question, have you guys ever considered making a yari? There are almost no videos of someone making that particular type of spear and none about something like the katakama yari. Seeing the frankly astonishing skill of all of you put towards making a weapon that shaped the history of Japan would be amazing. Also I think I have brought this up here in the comments before and even got a reply, but I cannot quite remember if that was the case.
