Javelin making and testing at the Viking games, Hereford.
Ойын-сауық
ben makes a small stack of Javelins and then the Oldfield staff all go test them out thanks to The Viking games, Hereford.
Ben's only regret is using broom handles as it turns out they weren't Ianto-proof.

Forge On. Keep forge lit. Keep Making. God bless.
I hope you fixed the hardy on the helper thats a little too wobbly even for me lol The spear points and you guys performed well...but the shaft not so good ....am I right thinking those were broom handles ...a lot of people think spears were always long heavy things but throwing spears like yours were mostly quite short to aid the throw and were more useful to stick hard and weigh down shields making the user more accessible...they often made a lever "handle" to push shields out of the way too Thanks for sharing
youre making MY back hurt!

Ben is too tall for our anvils, doorways, lightbulbs and sensible, god fearing customers.
I've enjoyed your videos guys. I forged a knife there on February 16th this year. I really enjoyed the day. The video of it is on my channel if you want to take a look at it.
Cool video. What was the dimensions and weight on this javelins?

the handles are just standard broomsticks so they can be easily replaced in case Ianto comes back. The heads are EN45 and weigh roughly 300g. (sorry that took so long to answer)
