I miss seeing you guys on Man At Arms, but I love this channel equally, especially as you guys teach more types of metalwork than any other channel and tend to go more in-depth than even a lot of specialty channels.

[@TimeturnerJ]

Speaking as an archaeologist, wood never lasts all that long (in relative terms) in Europe. The weather can be cold and wet, even in the south, so finding preserved ancient wood is about as rare as anything you can imagine. If we get incredibly lucky, it got burned and carbonised, buried air-tight in river slick, or, like in this case, frozen in solid ice - but finding something like that is close to impossible. Even in the dry heat of Africa, ancient wood is rare to find. With some luck, you might find some preserved in the underground tombs of ancient rulers, but even those finds are pretty rare. Finding an intact Viking spear like that had some astronomical odds.

I was reading a biography of Shaka Zulu where I came across the assegai spear. I thought I would look into how the spear was made and this video has given me the answers. I am a long time wood worker but have been toying with the idea of getting into forging. I see you have quite an investment in your shop. I reckon a rocket stove could double as a forge plus an anvil and some bucking bars (whatever the proper term is) and I would be set up for a budget shop. I already have the grinding tools. I enjoyed this video.

Hold on Ilya while I get my mead. *pours a glass of mead* Okay, continue good sir!

Kinda cringe

This is wonderful quality work, not just the spear itself but the video editing. I could definitely sense the energy put into this, the video even feels longer than half an hour. I don't know how into the mystical and mythological aspects of this weapon you are, but I really feel Odin himself in that forge. Great job!

Vikings would use bones of animals and fallen enemies to “enchant” the weapon but the carbon from the bone would bake into the iron and create a sort of primitive steel and this would make there weapons much stronger which would obviously help when they were conquering to find a new home

Awesome build. Love to see the work horse of the medieval warfare, the spear, get the attention it deserves. Thank you!

That's one of the coolest ways I've ever seen to make steel.

The sharpness demonstration at the end was cool, first time I've seen a milk jug test.

I'm glad to come back to this channel and see you guys are getting closer to full swing. Loving quality, lighting, cinematography & other upgrades!

[@SnowblindOtter]

Wow... your charcoal forge and fuego bellows look identical to the ones I'd set up years ago for my first ever forge. Feels good to know that for my first time, I did something that a professional thinks is a right way to do it.
