Very cool to see Arms & Armor featured on the channel! I showed up at their shop once, not realizing it was a workshop, not a storefront. Cool guys.

Dr. Clough's delivery is like a combination of Carl Sagan and Mr. Rogers, but for blacksmithing and swords. Im loving it

He's a nice guy in general, and really good with blades. I was an active member of the local HEMA club he belongs to, and he's beaten me a number of times with longswords. I also own one of Arms & Armor's daggers, their Norseman spear, and their Nordland Axe.

Well said! I completely agree!
IVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO TEMPER MY SWORDS WITH A BLOWTORCH FOR SO LONG, THANK YOU LORD FOR THIS NEW TECHNIQUE !
Always fun to watch an expert of his craft at work
My 2 main hobbies in one video. Absolutely love this
Thank you for highlighting Arms and Armor! I’m a RenFaire nerd from Minneapolis so I see their booth every year. Always a highlight of the day as they are so fun to speak to..though also costly! I own three of their swords and love each one. Great video!
Wow!!! Great stuff!!!
Really fascinating video. Thanks for making it.
One of my favorite swords they designed!
Really interesting ! Cool to se how they do it =)
Wow! I discovered your channel through your fun and educational shorts. I think your Hema drip videos in particular interested then hooked my girlfriend on Hema. Now I discover you were in my home town and produced this, again fun and entertaining video about our local blacksmiths. Thank you!

If that's your hometown, you should check out Ram's head fencing! My buddy is the head coach, and it's a great school.

@@SellswordArts Thank you again! I will find them!
One of the great education lesson of modern sword making
Great look into how things are done nowadays compared to the past
Supreme. As a Mechanical Engineer, this was splendid to follow and will be extremely useful for my storyboarding. Thank you Sellsword arts. Also, the balancing part makes it obvious why it's difficult to train with a bathroom pipe though it's like 3kg.
Great video! Makes me want to work at a forge!!! 🔨🔥🗡️
Having melted a few knives in my own forge outside, I wish I had it darker!
Good to know
Really interesting video. next time you’re in the Twin Cities - check out The Oakeshott Institute and The Center For Blade Arts. Minnesota has a large and thriving sword community.

This is the same place where the oak shot institute is! I actually did an interview with them as well. They're the same people!
Cool, Ive always wanted to know how it was done in modern times
Awesome
4:03 don't you normalize your steel before grinding? Or is the steel strait from the mill already as soft as its going to get? BTW I love your work.

Hey I am doing the animations for a medieval survival game, does any one know where I might find some one interested in medieval sword play? I love to swing my templar sword and trying to get inspiration from HEMA Thanks.
A river would have been a not uncommon way to power grind wheels
I a crafting table this gets so much easier! 2 iron bars a stick
💚💚💚
Are spears in HEMA?

yeah, my school trains with them some. Arms and armor makes a badass partisan, too.
This just shows that you don’t need original ancient techniques to forge effective swords, and that the weapons forged partially by machines are actually better.
both of these fine men are exquisite to gaze upon
Could‘t it have been possible for medival swords smiths to buy steel bar? Or did they always buy their stell in ingot form?
"heat treating was magic" merlin and excaliber says what? 😂 pulling a sword from a stone (cast in clay), then taking it out of a lake (after heat treating) made the best sword of the day.....
first
