Brett McAfee just wondering... what was the biggest challenge for you when you were learning at the smithing workshop? Was is challenging? You seemed to breeze through it. Had you done anything like it in the past?

@skullandspade

6 жыл бұрын

Biggest challenge is getting over the "this looks extremely difficult and I'll feel like an idiot when I screw up" phase. I had taken a few classes in the years before youtubery stuff, and watched tons and tons of videos. #notaprofessional but I took the time to research a lot before hand, and honestly it comes down to just getting to it. I have countless mistakes I learned from in the beginning, but I can really tell how far we've come in the last year or so. I did the "Shadow Axe" about a year ago...I thought it was a big achievement to refinish a head and handle it...and now here we are.

Really nice cliffhanger you have there! The tools came out great, have to say the bottle opener is still my favorite of the bunch. You know what's funny? Every video I've seen where someone makes a handle for a hammer/axe/whatever, they ALWAYS show the wooden wedge, then driving in the wooden wedge, then only (what I assume is) the metal being driven down. I believe in the whole of KZread there is not one video where you see the metal wedge as a whole 😆
