i used this on my war axe as my families traditional "Tvastar's night of solace" a tradition in my ancestry, we forge weapons worthy of being used by the Jarls or The family man/woman (whoever ahad more scars really) and if it failed were disowned, luckily i passed with flying shrapnel! and it looked sexy to!
I'm thoroughly impressed - good video, well edited, very well explained, and it discusses many of the things that people often gloss over or don't talk about at all (IE that the twist may need to be tweaked after opening, dressing the sharp edges before twisting, and that the bar should be returned as close to square as possible before twisting). It's all stuff that is logical when you say it, but doesn't occur to first timers. Hats off to you!
I think you did a real nice job for first time. Doing an open twist is tough and Im not sure all together necessary to have perfectly even spirals. One thing that may help you in evening them is to push on the wrench with even pressure as you untwist.

Thanks for all the positive comments. Sorry I haven't responded sooner. I don't check for feedback very often.
I don't consider either way as having an advantage, just alternate skills. I've made basket twists both ways.
My post vice is a little over 6.5 inches wide.

what's the advantage of doing it this way instead of folding and firewelding?

that twist would look awesome as a hand guard on a sword or just have the handle twisted like that on a axe :)
