That Works The only channel where the creators are apologising for the fact that they don't have a dozen craftsmen at their disposal, and you are only 65% sure that its a joke.
No joke! Just trying to give a realistic perspective.
@@ThatWorks Как всегда круто. Привет с Украины!
@@ThatWorks And that's why you guys are so badass. You're master craftsmen, not just cutting stuff out like a kid cutting out shapes with scissors in kindergarten. You take your time, do it right, and create absolute (functional) masterpieces. I'll always be a watcher and supporter of your work, gentlemen.
@@NinePillar me too
I really appreciate you showing us how things were actually made, not only from an originality concern, but simply the evolution of smithing.
Aye
Man At Arms isn't the same without you two.... but damn do you guys look much more in your element on this show! keep doing what you love, you earned my sub.
Omg this! I found Man At Arms recently and binged random episodes, but watching the new episodes I was unsatisfied by the lack of Ilya's commentaries. After a few eps I realized Matt and Ilya were no longer in the show, so I did some searching and thankfully found this channel.
The historical builds are some of my favorite. I know that you to get the show off on some of the fantasy builds, but it's your attention to the historical detail that I love the most.
Trust me! We highly agree and its truly nice when a game sponsor understands that and allows us to make some historical for them.
the running across the field brought back memories of monty python. you guys have reached new levels of silliness. my congratulations and salutations!
I love polearms. Despite their clear popularity in war they've gone fairly forgotten compared to swords in modern smithing
I liked that their weapons demo showed how much utility the halberd would have to a guard. “Wearing chain mail? We’ll just stab you with the pointy bit or smash you on the head…”
Truth. I wish the king of melee battles i.e the polearm gets its limelight again.
Absolutely love the combination of history, blacksmithing and modern techniques along with the historical context that comes with i. Great video.
Apprentice blacksmith here, and history nerd as well. I've been practicing smithing for over 2 years in school and at my work, and every time I make progress I just discover how little I know about this art. Seeing your historical build is just candy for my eyes, I'm so impressed by the level of skills and knowledge you display. I hope I'll get to be half as good as you are someday.
Legend says that Matt is still running with his pointy stick ! xD
Great work guys, bravo !!!
I think you are right!
Thank you very much for discussing the SCALE of arms production in the time with multiple shops producing the various elements in an industrialized manner!
Damn even if I don’t forge, but seing your work, patience and passion make me want to be your apprentice 😧. You guys really deserve the best 👍 and of course the million subscribers
Thank you! Means a lot!
I love these historic builds!
@@ThatworksTwo Well thank for doing these. I very much enjoy the quality of the videos, the work, the research and information you guys are bringing to the table for each piece. I already can't wait for the next one, but will happily rewatch some of the others in the meantime.
You guys used actual riveted mail for your test! I love it!
Historical builds are always my favorite. Love 'em.
I love all the builds so it's not that, but I fully agree.
Really love the devotion you guys have to your pieces. In terms of sticking to the original designs and materials. I also appreciate that you guys don’t take shortcut a with a plasma cutter like some people 😳
Watching Ilya work is such a pleasure. I also enjoy how he explains everything in detail about the choice he makes in design and everything is great.
He does go at it with no fear and much research.
Glad to see some representation for the best weapon type. Halberds are criminally underutilized despite their historical prevalence.
Well said!
That's a nice halberd. The spike looks vicious, and I love the (presumably) decorative patterns cut into the blade.
Me: cool, cant wait for a weapon demonstration and to see how it is us...
Mat: runs around for 15 mins
3:49 But watching you guys makes these weapons are already delightful!
Great work as always. It is nice to see that "Historical" means more than just shape to you guys!
This is why I watch a few select smithing channels. To see the most probable methods, materials, and to learn techniques, on how this stuff was made.
Historical builds with Professor Ilya are the best builds! Love it!
Also, Ilya looks damned good in that outfit at the end.
The modern recreations are great, but man, when you guys huddle around a historic recreation. Muah, chef's kiss.
Great video! I really like the decorations you made to the halberd head with the electro-etched pattern, the copper rivets on the langets compliment the build really nice aswell!
Not electro etch. Just acid
@@ilyaalekseyev3589 Ah that makes sense, since there is also the obvious pattern on the steel from the forge welded layering! Anyhow really nice!
Watching Matt run with the halberd might be the funniest thing I've seen in a hot minute.
Ilya actually refined that piece of hinge before shows the professionalism and dedication he has for the trade. A true forge master. Great detailing and great build from u 2 my friends
Love how there are bits of history facts between forging.
This build was absolutely EPIC!
Thank you Shaun !
The running was ridiculous, I loved it lol.
Hehe!
The historic builds are great. Really want to see a Polish Saber build. There are a good amount of directions you can go with the style for it.
Yes please!
that "game play" segment for the ending is fantastic. I've watched so many of your videos and this one really takes the cake. Great job guys looking forward to the next one. Lastly if you happen to see this comment I'd love to see the two of you doing something with a serrated blade. I've been really curious at how the serrations are made and how different types of serrations are used in different roles. Pat yourselves on the back you all deserve and your work is appreciated.
As a fan of these guys and as a Filipino too, I love to watch you guys make your take on Kampilan sword.
I know Forge in Fire contestants made this, but I love you guys made this.
Matt is really outstanding in his field. He's out running in his field, too. LOL Nice one! :D Halberds are cool!!
Seeing Matt charging to the horizon just fills me with glee.
Since we‘re on historical builds. ever thought about doing a german Kriegsmesser or even a Zweihänder?
beautiful work as always. the velvet wrap was a nice touch, too.
Yea I think so to! Some were really decorated with a ton of detail.
The extra work and research that goes into making those historical builds are really what makes those video so good IMO
You don’t know me but your videos helped save my life. I know that’s not why you make them, but they inspired me to forge and it was an outlet I sorely needed, thanks buddy guy
That’s amazing! Thanks for sharing! Makes it all worth it when I hear these types of things
Awesome build with much appriecated historical background ! Thank you :)
What about a "bec de corbin" next ?
Thank you for not only making entertaining but also educational videos!
The wrought-iron left such a beautiful pattern on the blade!
Ill be honest, you guys dont make the most prettiest knives or useful knives but the history lessons and the great editing makes it all worth it! Still AMAZING bladesmithing and knowledge though! Don't let these knives fool you guys. They could easily make very high end knives if they wanted to.
Здорово 👍
Обожаю ваши работы и канал. Крутые ребята, браво👏👏👏
Успехов вам!!!
Long time viewer and huge fan, I was wondering if we could see more of Ilya showing off some of his more artistic architectural smithing that he's mentioned is a fabulous way to improve skills. Also the halberd came out awesome!!!
Nicely Done guys! Looks great. I look forward to seeing your next video.
Magnificent!
Once again you guys absolutely crushed it. Not only is your attention to the history of the item laudable but the end product is a work of art.
Thanks guys I do enjoy your historical builds always great to watch
Gods I love watching these guys work!!!
Great build, looks like Matt had fun with the demo.
There's just something special about this channel, seriously.
The guard high-step charging over huge tracks of land has an unmistakable "You're marrying Princess Lucky, so you better get used to the idea" vibe. Definitely within your idiom!
Yes! Polearm! I'll take full credit for this one being on the channel. :)
Omg. A masterclass in metalwork, as per usual 🤩
I dig the historical builds. Knowledge download and a great weapon.
That's certainly our main goal with these!
"Check out Outward - Definitive Edition here: wehy.pe/y/2/ThatWorks #ad" What should we make next? There will be a podcast about this build on the That Works Too channel on Saturday. ua-cam.com/video/krKH0EWqlIc/v-deo.html
Connor MacLeod Katana from the original highlander, lmao it is funny I have been asking for this build since 2016 and was an awesome video.
Outward is an amazing game.
You two make really cool stuff, keep it up!
When they demonstrate it at the end, you can see how all the pointy edges of the halberd actually work... so cool!
Awesome to see what a historical halberd would look like in real-life VS some of the ones we see in video games like elden ring .. and as always unmatched craftsmanship, love seeing talented people in their element
Cool build!
If it interests you, maybe you can try casting a bronze age weapon. You can test to see how much of a difference work hardening the edge makes.
That's a fun idea
We could do that. Or perhaps even forge one.
But which one would we make ?
@@ThatWorks A bronze age Celtic design would be interesting, I haven't seen many Celtic designs made.
@@ThatWorks Maybe an Egyptian one since Moon Knight is pretty popular right now? Could make a Khopesh for the historical aspect and the little moon shaped blade that Moon Knight uses.
historical builds are always my favorite on this channel, absolutely geek out on this stuff.
Thank you!!!!!!
This is the only satisfying and complete explanation I've ever found on how halberd are made. You guys have answered a question that I've had for years.
Thank you. Love you guys keep up the good work.
Love these historical builds.
Matt & Iliya at their best
It's also a pleasure to see that master-crafted flowered doghead hammer doing its job
This turned out beautifully! It's even more impressive after knowing just how much research goes into trying to make the build historically accurate. Well done guys!!
Incredible art you created there
God DAMN!!! you guys are so talented absolutely beautiful work.
God these 2 are the best. I tried watching others; but it's usually just CnC or pound out bc it's cool. They don't talk about the heritage of the weapons, legacy those weapons left behind in different cultures, or the methods/time period accuracy.
hearing my home town, sheffield, be mentioned here, makes me proud
Seeing all this forge welding really makes me appreciate arc welding more. The craftsmanship you show makes me, a lowly welder, feel like what i do is almost cheating in comparison.
Its fine to use for making most things, but not when we are trying for historical type research.
Luved this one , and the cherry on the cake . Watching him run through the field . Laughed for 20 mins .. Keep up the great work . How about Mistilteinn ?
Incredible. It would be interesting to see what you could come up with making one from the future.
really good editing on this one, makes such a big difference
That running alone deserves a like.
Absolutely beautiful, thanks for the video.
I love how you guys loom at what you do as more as simple "making cool stuff" I absolutely love your historical respect and how Ilyia describes things and explains from a artistic/ historical P.O.V second to non guys
‘’Courage taught me no matter how bad a crisis gets ... any sound investment will eventually pay off."
Making it out at a young age is quite difficult. I started a side hustle at 17, saved up and made some good investments. l'm 28,live on my own and having a good life for myself. Big ups to you and everyone out there trying
@@michaelcollins1220 Sounds like plan, how do you put money to work?
@@steceymorgan814 Yes it sure is. I put in money in investments and get profits. That 's how I make more money without working. This does not sound new to you right ?
@@michaelcollins1220 Thanks for replying me, I've heard so many people talk about investment but none had said how to do it right.
Am hoping on you can explain more on how you make extra income from investments
Nice work man's !Thank you for showing!Greeting #BulatsSchmiede from germany (Bulat the Blacksmith from germany)😊🤙
I love the historical builds. I know Ilya can make armor so I'd love to see more of that. Cheers!
This one really hit a sweet spot between everything I love about TW videos. The sponsor a natural part of the video and didn't feel over-pushed or disingenuous (like spending 2 minutes pretending you really love a certain mobile game), a historical build, a really nice amount of information from both Matt and Ilya then topped off with a funny ending.
A special shout out to the editing for this one as well. Wasn't over-edited and it was really easy to see what was going on with each piece. I've been watching TW for a long time now and I think video editing and the way Matt/Ilya present have improved more than anything else. Really great to watch.
Epic build! Beautiful work!
what a fantastic build
love you guys and your videos!
and you've convinced me to try that game too
You guys literally crack me up! Just a couple of nerds at heart.
That’s so damn impressive the skill to forge weld with only wire holding it together
Love your art completely with excited ignorance of its full complexity
Absolutely stunning!
I also look forward to jumping back into Outward.
The historical information and context really elevates your content! love you guys
Thank you for explaining about the carbon content
Iron itself can’t be quenched, so talking about carbon is essential to justify the quenching in the video
Incredibly well done and stunning weapon at the end, thanks for all the hard work! One of my favorite weapons as well.
Do you think the guy that made that hinge all those years ago would be happy to know his hinge is now a beautiful weapon?
I bet he would be.
I am so glad you finally did another polearm build regardless if it's historical or not. What an amazing works guys!!
This Looks Beautiful And Scary at the Same time 😄👍
Beautiful Halberd i love it
Incredible build. Appreciate all the research and information. Brilliant.
Gotta respect a man who knows his craft :P
I Always Loved/love how Ilya and Matt did things so far and appreciate their work its awesome what they can create and will... keep up the Excellent work guys
Thank you! We will keep doing it as long as people want to see it!
Yes more historical builds please!
appreciate for history telling while work.
Right on!
When I say what I'm going to, I understand that there is a lot more involved with metal working than just having the space and tools. The knowledge and skills that it takes.........
I wish I had the space to do what you guys are doing.
I would definitely be making all kinds of knives, swords, and other type of cool weaponry!!!
This was wonderful. I love the historical techniques, it really shows your skills and knowledge.
It important to try and replicate as close to the materials and methods of the time and culture if you are going to call something a "historical" build.
@@ThatWorks Thanks, I really appreciate it. I have one question though. In this video you used sand paper when polishing the final blade, do you know what would be historically used to hand polish metal weapons and armor? I am guessing a fine paste that was applied with a cloth, but I don't know.
Love your builds! Explanations of Medieval metallurgy and broadly, the techniques.
