@MrMunkyMeat 5 лет назад

I really enjoy the new direction you guys are taking. It may not have all of the cinematic quality of the past shows, however, it makes up for it in quality of content significantly.

@ShadowDrakken 5 лет назад

I agree. Man at Arms was always under such crunched deadlines that I think the quality and craftsmanship suffered for it.

@AppleAssassin 5 лет назад

I don't think I'm alone here in saying that I enjoy this more than Man at Arms. The content is so much more detailed which I love.

like these much better than the old style of videos as these show the craftsmanship and difficulties a smith encounters in making a sword

@ta-zm7tg 5 лет назад

Using a box ratchet to hold it from spinning back is such a good idea god i feel like a moron for not thinking of that.

@crearaine 5 лет назад

I really enjoy this channel much more than AWEs'. in my view, it lacked emphasis on those tiny details that interest us so much (or at least me), and You, guys, are doing exact that instead! Wish I could ever afford to place a custom order with you guys. But so far I can only like and subscribe. Keep up the great work! There won't ever be too much content from You!

@mrexpendable1232 8 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for this video! I just made my first wire wrapped handle. I'm not a blacksmith just a hema practitioner and knew nothing until this video. Like everything I don't know how to do, I spent most of my time prepping. I'm happy to say it came out amazing. I did a double twist "braided" wire in black with 4 un-twisted wires as spacers. I topped off each end with a turks head knot with the twisted black wire. You guys rock! Please make that video on the more complex wrap on the fluted handle!!

@lutzderlurch7877 11 месяцев назад

Very nice technique and explanation. Got an 18th century smallsword with the original wire wrapping in perfect condition… various kinds of twisted silver wire in varying thickness, some single strands of large D crossection wire for nice contrast… and two thick strands of twisted wire (opposite twist direction) where each single strand of wire was itself completely covered by winding fine wire around it. Must have been a madness inducing job!

@pauldavis8560 5 лет назад

@marcsenteney3160 5 лет назад

Not gonna lie, at first I was like "yeah that's relatively simple" and then like 30 seconds later came the little techniques that master craftsmen have and my jaw fell open with a "holy crap that's brilliantly simple and effective and I never would have thought of that." I'll be honest I was a but skeptical of y'alls channel for a bit, but dang you sure showed me! Keep up the brilliant work guys!
