The charm of your videos are the sounds of the forge, your hammer and bellows, the unfolding of your craft before our eyes and glimpses of that amazing tattoo. Your narration may appeal to the expert or empiricist, but I would prefer your silence and letting your beautiful work speak for itself.
Looking forward to seeing this build progress. You did a beautiful job forging out the seax.
Thank you very much! :)
@@MakeNCreate you are most welcome
Great video man, it's a good change to hear the voice over. Looking forward to part 2.
That's what I was thinking :) thank you for the feedback!
Thoroughly surprised he has a very American sounding accent..
Here's my feedback for the video style. I like that you aren't talking through the entire video, so it retains the relaxing feel, while still giving some explanation to what the plan is, and little fun facts
Thank you! It's the very thing I'm going for. Actually wrote a script to make sure I didn't just babble away and go on unrelated tangents. Appreciate the feedback :)
Yeah lots of creators tend to fall into the trap of feeling like they need to fill every moment of silence, so they comment on literally every single thing that's happening lol.
This video had a good balance of it all
Even though it has micro cracks , I still cant wait for part 2!
This project is what finally drove me to start doing some inlay work :D
Oh and, I like the new video format as well :)
I've been watching your videos for a while now and I really liked the narration you provided! It gives us an insight into how complicated blacksmithing is.
Appreciate it mate, really do :) thank you for the feedback.
i love the new format when you talk over the video
Thank you very much for the feedback :)
Really digging the simple explanation of what you're doing. As always, thank you for sharing your skill with us.
I always find the sound of wrought iron interesting! It sounds squishy to me, for lack of a better word. I've only worked with it once on a very simple project but learned very quickly how easy it can splinter if worked to cold. it is a truly interesting and fun material to work with though! Great video!
HEYO your voice sounds awesome your narration is wonderful
Haha appreciate it :)
Beutifull craftmanship 😃!
im exited for part two! the voice over was good
Thanks liam! It's very to me so I'm trying my best haha.
Liked the new style of video. Blade look awesome.Always enjoy forging process👍👍🔥🔥🔥
Thank you very much as always! :)
Looking forward to the series, I love the antler handle seax you forged a few years ago.
Thank you! I'd love to do more knives with antler handles just waiting for a good deal on some :)
Narration is great!
Great vid as always and an awesome voice for narrate. You did an impresive job.
Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback :)
Looking forward to the next video. I enjoyed this one, thank you!
Thank you very much! Got everything recorded for it so shouldn't be too long :)
Beautiful knife
love the narration and your content in general!
Thank you for the kind words!
excellent forging job
Thank you!
great video, its nice to have a vioce over for a change :)
Nice work, bro. Looking forward to part 2! How much are you thinking of selling this for? Looks like it could go into my every-day-carry lol
awesome dude
Thank you beetlejuice :)
3/8 at the spine!? That's a chonky boi. Awesome forge work!
Oh yeah! I'm quite bummed that I didn't get it that thick though so I'll start over again, also those cracks haha. Thank you as always John! Love your fossil bowie, you did a damn good job on it!
great job man despite all you said I believe it will great, keep on
Thank you man!
As soon as I finished this video I started looking for part 2 then realized it was uploaded 7 hours ago. Ruined my whole day. Can’t wait for the next part.
Glad to hear so haha. Got everything filmed just need to edit then it'll be out! Thank you :)
nice!
Thanks!
Do not give UP 🥰
I won't!
I very much like the commenting.
Thank you! Glad to hear so :)
Remind me to come find you if an apocalypse ever happens
;)
"Seax" is a word I know well from Mount & Blade :)
This more documentary style is great but I understand if some people don't like it as much.
Hehe never played mount and blade, I'll get around to it one day!
Thank you. Yeah I understand too. This won't be the new standard though as I will still make videos without narration.
@@MakeNCreate Besides the narration, this one feels a little slower / less tightly edited. That is not a bad thing, just different. It feels more in depth.
@@awldune indeed it is. I'm not that much into sped up video these days so hence the change up. Also works better to slow things down when narrating I think.
What you you can talk…..lol. Love your content
Indeed I can :) thank you!
Seax knives feel weird to make, cause the sharp edge is on opposite side from where you think it should be. Nice work, I like the narration
Thank you very much! Haha yeah I'd be more like a odd looking tanto I guess.
✋👍💪👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The difference of 2 mm. on the butt of the knife is compensated by the quality of the carbon steel insert. Therefore, I think that there is nothing terrible in the fact that the thickness of the blade on the butt turned out to be 7 mm instead of 9 mm.
Very true, it was most likely the reason for it being so thick to start with as iron is soft. However I'm not here to change anything but rather replicate, so it still sucks a little. Thank you very much for watching mate! :)
Where do you get your coke/coal?
Montreal.
I miss hearing your foot powered forge....
Me too :(
Early!
"Hey every one"
me: What the fuck?
fr tho pretty cool vid man
Hahahaaa, appreciate it mate. Thanks for watching :)
I thought it was far smaller than your rendering.
Yes, but as I mentioned in the end of the video I don't think it's unreasonable to think is might have gotten smaller due to parts of rusting away over a thousand years or so. Hence making it a bit larger.
sexy voice!
The video is much better with your voice comment
Appreciate the feedback!
I don’t like the narration. Sorry for my honesty, I hope you don’t think I am being rude… Still, I’ll keep watching your videos because I have no other option: you are the best one out there, in my opinion.
No problem at all, I love honesty and appreciate all the feedback. It won't be all videos that will be narrated and slow paced like this one. I'll only do narration when I feel like there is a reason to.
This particular project is a longer more detailed one so I opted for the narration. Normal regular videos that are self explanatory or where text can do the job just fine will be like they always used to. Thank you!
Seems like a three layer San mai would’ve given you the same result with a lot less work
Nope. This is way is easier and faster for me as well as more enjoyable.
@@MakeNCreate I can’t argue with enjoyable! I use your method to add a high carbon edge to throwing axes.
@@skoitch hehe no you can't ;). It's a Japanese technique called "warikomi" although I just call it "hotdog in a bun" yup works great for axes.
