Hello All,
There is a one hour program on Viking swords airing in the US on 10 October. Information and short video clip is viewable here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ancient...ing-sword.html I am afraid it only plays in the US...sorry for those who can not view. I was was asked to make the modern copy of the old sword using what I assume were period techniques. Ric |

No master here...just a person who loves steel.
You are welcome to see the pile of rejects...when you master something that pile is supposed to be ....smaller. Ric |

![]() ![]() TO CHOOSE TO MAKE SUCH A MASTERPIECE NEVER HAVING MADE ONE BEFORE IS AN AMBITIOUS PROJECT EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE EXAMPLES TO LEARN FROM AND A GOOD BACKGROUND AND KNOWLEGE IN FORGEING METALS. THE SECOND ONE WILL NO DOUBT BE EASIER AND AS THE PRODUCTION EXPANDS SO DOES THE PERFECTION AND EASE OF THE PROCESS. A JOB WELL DONE CONGRADULATIONS. ![]() |
