מדהים....

[@Nomparelli69]

Im not an expert but a beginner smith if u cant do it at one go after u are finished at one day, normalize it couple times and then anneal it and the next day take it out of the ashes/sand and then heat the whole thing before forging to prevent the cracks. Im from Finland so sry about my bad english. hope it helped :)

@Doomagethon im no expert but from wat i no about metal work u should do it all in 1 go cuz when u heat up the metal and then it cools it gets brittle but like i said im no expert lol

Where can I get a good hydralic press, and what is a proper pressure amount when looking for a press? Could you please help

[@monkydluffy5745]

Why would you give him as many laps?

[@ssensej994fresh]

What kind of steel do you use?

[@graphixkillzzz]

@doomagethon the less you often you heat up the metal the less carbon it loses. its called decarburization. but you can let it cool and come back to it.

@Doomagethon that looks like oil

So has anyone else had Pavel Bolf take thousands of dollars from them and then vanish? If so please contact me as I will be hiring an attorney in CZ as well as contacting paypal and law enforcement in both countries. If you would like to join the lawsuit please let me know.

what's this about? the sword maker?

[@medbill]

+Josh's Whips And Lanyards YES, I had to hire a lawyer in the Czech Republic to get my money back.

[@JoshswhipsandlanyardsJWL]

+medbill oh why what he do? he looks like a good craftsman

[@medbill]

+Josh's You would have to ask him. He took all my money was in contact then he vanished for a year. No contact, no facebook posts, many others say he has done the same to them. BE CAREFUL!

This is cool and all, but I'd rather see a Japanese master at work, with a couple of apprentice/helpers scampering around, pounding on a chunk of Tamahagane that took 3 weeks to produce, with the end product (the sword itself) taking 4-6wks to complete. Producing them in THIS WAY (the vid clips) is artistic and all, but I feel the "craftsmanship" factor is lost a bit. Call me traditional.
