Your remark about curators and academics learning valuable things from the practical side of swordmaking really resonates with me. When I was studying Homeric armor in university, I was always surprised by what things were so obvious to me as a metalworker that scholarship deemed unknowable. This is such valuable work! Thank you for being so willing to share your expertise!
I can't begin to tell you how many times I've watched your first video Mr. Burridge. It's fascinating stuff and you have a great voice to boot! I keep trying to think of some way to convince the missus that we need a good replica Ewart Park sword hanging over the mantle. :)
Like same for every word
Well the CZcams algorithm only took a year this time for you to pop up for me to see. Which is pretty good for them. But I’m glad it did.
HES BACK
sure is but a little bit older
I admire your respect for the original craftsmen and objects, all too often modern makers seem to dismiss orignial work "improving" upon their designs and correcting their "mistakes". Like you have said, they crafted and evolved these designs over millenia and every feature is there for a reason. Thanks again for this indepth video!
thank you Isaac
Modern interpretation or modifications to a sword of any style isn't any different than the variations of ancient swords found. In many instances a particular region would have competing makers constantly changing the form thus function to develop a more ideal product. Trying to improve upon design is traditional especially with weaponry.
The most captivating storyteller online.
You really are a living historical treasure Neil. Love your work and your ideas!
i feel the love, yes in Japan i would be reveried, but here i am lost and laughingly say i am a very big fish in a small goldfish bowl
@@BronzeAgeSwords I don’t think so. I think you are the vanguard. You are opening the door to a new historical frontier. Showing us the technical and artistic skill that these blade smiths had. One that will grow a lot in the coming years I suspect. You’ve opened my eyes to an entire age that I mistakenly assumed was primitive and crude. Now I realize how absolutely ignorant I was. The Bronze Age truly was the age of heroes and it’s craftsmen were equally up to task! Very very interesting!!!
That solid hilt Ewart Park is a thing of tremedous beauty, wonderous...I'd heard you were no longer making swords for sale to the general public so it's great to see.
if you can collect it not a problem but shipping has got silly in the UK and europe is out of bounds thanks to brexit
You have my respect my friend 👍.
Love your work Neil
Can't wait to see what else comes from this channel!
i will do my best
yay! the dude is finally back
and he's gonna talk about bronze swords in detail!
do my best to make it interesting
It’s really good to have you back on CZcams, sir! I’ve watched your original video dozens of times, not only because the amazing amount of information condensed in those 13 minutes, but also because you have a very soothing voice, that helps a lot with my anxiety. I hope you keep posting new videos!
two more filmed and ready to up load shortly , think they call it an ASMR voice cheers
I grew up in Carnoustie! And a couple of years in Monikie, back in 1981 when there was a big housing estate being built I found a wee stone lantern but the little handle had broken off and it looked like a little bowl… lots of history all over Angus!
You my new favorite dude
Incredibly excited to watch this series.
Very nice video,thank you 👍
thank you
Hype!
Its the legend himself, man I need to get myself one of your breathtaking pieces at some point.
Your swords imo are the best out there today. I think that maybe it requires a master/apprentice lineage of many many centuries & input from those that fought on the bronze age battlefield to reach the level of craftsmanship that they did at the time.
sorry only just seen this thanks for commenting
@@BronzeAgeSwords no apologies necessary sir
Beautiful work
Great to see you back!
What a treat to find this video waiting for me when I came in from pouring some spear points! Your work is an inspiration. Looking forward to the next video.
Fantastic to see a video out, and as part of a new series! I always appreciate the insights, especially about how users and makers might have interacted to improve things.
Very interesting video, thank you!
So happy to have you back!
A druid asked you for a sword? Pretty cool
Very good to see you making videos! Very interesting stuff.
saludos amigo ,disfrute mucho ,su video y la pasion y la forma como nos conparte su conocimiento y experiencias , su video me mostro un vision diferente de contemplar una espada de bronce y todo la tecnologia que hay en su fabricasion ,mucha de ella ya perdida en el tiempo,el porque de su forma y proceso de fundicion,esos pequeños detalles ,que diferencia a una herramienta ; de un arma...el uso y la tecnica de quien la esgrime plasmada en bronce,tan letal como cualquier hoja de acero moderna.bendiciones y existos totales,desde Perú.
Gracias, me alegra que hayas encontrado interesante la película.
Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to share your experience with making Bronze Age arms. I look forward to your next film.
I'd love to see a video on forging the blades and the tools you use.
put liquid fire to metals sword in minutes in youtube
Very interesting, thank you!
two more in the pipeline
Coffee, Mr. Burridge.
Where to?
Brilliant Neil, keep up the great work!
A pleasant surprise to see you back on CZcams Neil! Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge. I can't wait to see the next one!
Any chance of new content soon? LOVE the videos

Love your work, Neil. Owning one of your swords is a dream of mine. Maybe when I have the money free.
Fascinating video and so happy to see you back on youtube
cheers

Awesome awesome awesome :D
I thought the knife on the table was very interesting
its the middle bronze age Dirk from loch Tay river most elegant blade
Love your videos! Keep it up!
Años esperando
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. If your a 5/10, then I am a 1/10. I have done some bronze casting and based on this I am amazed by the quality of the objects they made in the Bronze age. For example the socketed Lunette spear in the Met in my opinion is one of the most beautiful objects. How did they made that? Anyway for your work.
you probably had all the brightest minds working on bronze casting over a millennium it's a hard one the match
Hi Neil I have a Bronze age sword that a friend dug up here in the west of Scotland its in good condition and straight it is much better than the one in the Kelvin Grove art gallery and museum i can send you some pics or a video if you would like to see it I'm looking for some info on it and to eventually find a buyer Let me know if you would like to see it mate thank you.
best drop me a line neil.bronzeagecraft@gmail.com
Great teacher, fascinating subject in general is metal work. Have you ever made Aluminium bronze??? What are your thoughts on it please? Cheers
no point its easy to make correct alloys and they work very well
@@BronzeAgeSwords Thanx for the reply. I was just wondering about options of alloy mixes in case I cannot get tin. Aluminium is so abundant everywhere in society but tin not so much. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in your videos. I've learnt a lot and enjoyed them very much.
