Hammering hot metal into shape is quite a satisfying task, when it goes well. Here you see me shaping out my sword.

I was invited by the Cut and Thrust Collective to go to Glastonbury and make my own sword. In an earlier video, you saw my training (forging a nail), and immediately after that we started on the sword. Thom Leworthy was the bladesmith showing me how it is done.
