It's like the most common mistake of new smiths. I'm pretty sure I did it too. Everyone has this instinct to choke up on the handle bend over so their face is right up against the anvil, and give these dainty little blows where the hammer only rises like 18''. Stand mostly straight, raise your arm high, but still bent, and send it back down. Anything else and you're just letting your metal get too cold to hit.

Lloyd, I'm only an amateur blacksmith, but I've forged knives for a number of years. If I may, it seems like you're using your wrist an awful lot when you hammer. I'd recommend keeping it stiffer, with less "flop" at the end of the stroke. As for me, I usually lose patience, and break out "Larry," my 5-lb sledge hammer with a 12-inch handle. I can only swing it about twice, but the steel sure notices it when I do. Of course, that's my opinion, and ultimately, what works for you, works. BUT WOW, this was a fantastic tutorial! I love how you explained WHY you were doing WHAT you were doing, and illustrated the entire shaping process at the end. Seriously, I took notes. Only one question remains: Where can I find the "Key for judging the sizes of various bits of a sword"?

You would be hard-pressed to find an entire film that is completely accurate but sometimes films do some bits surprisingly well. The TV series Rome has a very good first scene. the equipment of the soldiers seems to be pretty much entirely historically accurate. To my knowledge at least, proper experts could probably nitpick a few minor details, but all the large bits of equipment are correct for the period of the late Roman republic (I am not sure about the whistle the centurion uses to keep the legionnaires in line, but I guess it is not completely implausible). It is also one of the very few scenes in cinematography that I can recall in which a battle actually consists of soldiers fighting in formation (rather than breaking a formation immediately after the start of the battle which then proceeds as a sort of a massed duel as is standard on TV and mindboggingly stupid - also cheaper to film and more dramatic which is probably why it is so common). The film Alexander does a pretty good battle scene where you actually get a sense of some tactics being employed and the army moved around as units (also the chaos and dust from the battlefield). Many historical films and TV dramas are guilty in making their characters behave as moderns. This is very easy to see in the US series The Borgias where a cardinal is shocked that the pope is taking simony (bribes). This was common practice at the time and the cardinal would most likely do it too. It was one of the main reasons John Wycliffe and Jan Hus (who was eventually burned at the stake, sparking the Hussite wars in Bohemia and central Europe) saw the Church as corrupt and criticized it and which eventually lead to the protestant reformation. The European series Borgia portrays its characters better. In one of the first scenes, one of the main characters finds his wife in bed with a lover (who manages to escapes). He says nothing, takes a medal rod from the fireplace and beats her to death. Nobody has a problem with him killing her because by their standards he was in the right. The only people shocked are the modern viewers but it makes for a much more realistic and immersive show. Also, Lucrezia Borgia wears pink in the US show. This is to highlight her apparent innocence but she would never do that since pink is a washed out and therefore cheap colour to make and signals fairly low status. Nobility would wear vibrant and full colours which were typically very expensive, or alternatively white which was very hard to actually keep white. This is a great article (by a historian) comparing the two Borgia series and historicity on TV in general www.exurbe.com/?p=2176 She also says that perfectly 100% historical drama would probably not really work on TV and some of the most bizzare historical practices would be distracting for the modern audience without adding too much to the story (and omitting them does not take away much either).

I imagine that as Tom is watching you, he must be inwardly cringing, but also knows exactly where you are coming from, as he himself was once in the same position when he first started.

I lift, do HEMA and Indian club work and even my arms were killing by the end when I tried a 1 day blacksmithing course.

@fsmoura6 жыл бұрын
it was not possible to cut at an angle back in the day, only perpendicularly
@markyoung18166 жыл бұрын
That is not true at all. Most cutting was done with chisels or hardy tools. Simply set the chisel to the desired angle and strike.

Pretty good for your first weapon, I feel like I would have just burned myself many many times
@Gremlin236 жыл бұрын
Psh, I burn myself using my electric oven. Burning is the only manly way to do anything.
@grayblackhelm64686 жыл бұрын
No. You only burn yourself once. In that heat, the very memory of a burn stings. Stings the body, AND the pride.
@thelieutenant77326 жыл бұрын
True, once you burn yourself, it's also burned into your mind not to make the same mistake again.

4:40 I worked in a steel mill, and there were days in the humid summer months that the steel would come off the coil and come out the other end of the mill with rusty patches on it. lol The speed of oxidation is very amazing when you were new to steel.
