Forging a new sword, part 1.

This is me forging a new sword part 1.
The sword im making is going to be a Katana. I will have more videos up in the next 2 weeks or so, all depends how busy i am, But there will be more to come. This is not a how to make a sword video, This is just a video of me making a sword. Please don't ask me to make you one or ask me to make a how to video, just be happy with what i choose to show you. Thank's for taking the time to read this and for looking at my video.

omg forging a sword is one of my life goals

[heckald]

fuck that must be hard on the forearms

[notacare659]

This guy's back must be hurting him. If I tried to forge a knife with my back like that I'd be in so much pain the next day I couldn't move. I know because I've been down that road. I had to go to physical therapy for it.

@CrossWolftheEnd yh i just saw that i must be going blind :p thought he didnt have a glove on :p

[CrossWolftheEnd]

@TheTurmoilTbh the hand he is using to handle the metal is covered, the other hand is used for the hammer... basically no heat transfer from metal to hammer

I wonder if you should raise your anvil a bit higher, I would think that bending over that much would kill your back. I keep my anvil at about knuckle level.

@deanoriordan07 your anvil looks like a piece of railroad track.

[Snado]

@2010DeanoRiordan Uh.I beleive it's kind of gets you screamed at by most smiths if you don't use them. That's my experience at least.

@heckald One hell of a workout, though.
