Would love to see a video about quench oils and what is best for different metals. And maybe one for tempering/heat treatments. I know there are many vids out like that but with how you guys break it things down and explain everything in your own vids it would be wonderful.
@@ThatWorks that would be so wonderful. I have been watching you guys since the first reforged, and was lucky enough 2 years ago to pick up one of your blades from a vender at my states renaissance fair. and watching your videos and listening to you explain things has helped me in my own shop and to improve. you all are great.
So glad to see you guys make in depth videos even if its only small project. Ive always found the group very knowledgeable and my only complaint about man at arms was the short episodes.
Hail Thor! But seriously, it’s wicked cool seeing how you can do it at home sort of thing. I’d like to see casting soft metals (pewter or nickel) in plaster.
that will happen with time. I only now realized that AWE ME stopped making proper blacksmithing videos, and they moved to this channel, so its going to take people a little while to realize the same.
I would really love to see some videos on engraving and forming shapes out of metal. Especially animal head shapes for pommels and the like. Is that something y'all could do?
How about a video on some shop maintenance like how to keep some of your more intricate tools working such as your hand crank drill press I saw in the video. Another thing that I wouldn't mind seeing is maybe a video on the construction of tools like hammers or some of your simpler woodworking tools such as your draw knives, albeit I am a little biased there as that's what I want to get done during my winter break ;) Beyond that, I'm loving what you guys are doing, keep up the good work
So Defy media went bust and that brings Baltimore knife and sword content on UA-cam to this channel sad that the old one is done but it's cool that your uploads are are now here keep up the uploads and I'll keep watching
Love the show, but you guys need to get a handle on the volume the music is very loud and the voices are to low I go from turning the volume way down to turning it way up.
I honestly think you guys need to Re-Brand to get the effect you are seeking. That Works does not make sense to anyone except for you. I only say this because I want you guys to experience tons of awesome success!! In fact, Great Success! : )
How hot can you make soapstone. Hypothetically can I use this technique to cast glass? If I use a soapstone mold it would be in an over 800° Celsius over for hours. Can it take that much heat?
I would like to see some video about actual tool making. I know that Ilya have some metal carving tools made from quenched steel rods. And I am very interested in trying, but, by far, I could not manage to make realy good metal carving tool, due to wrong, unskilled tip geometry. So I would like to see how you guys make your tools, jigs and so, your approaches to technical problems you get in your workflow.
Loving the new channel, guys! Very in depth and a good look at the amount of work that goes into great craftsmanship. Very entertaining, informative, and educational for a beginner like me. I did want to let you all know if you weren't aware, that this video is currently showing as "Unlisted," which could affect your viewership.
Question for the guys who swing hammers: how often do you get sore? Do you have any physical routines that help keep your muscles from binding up? I've always imagined that tendinitis or general soreness would be a big issue after doing it for a number of years.
You are correct. Most people who swing a hammer do it wrong. If you generate your swing from your elbow you will encounter problems. You should be using your shoulder and back muscles to generate your swing.
@@ThatWorks Thanks for the tip. I'm very new to BSing and need to work on this technique. Thanks for the amazing vids. I hope we get to see some new projects like you had on MAAR.
Sand would be easiest but we wanted our first casting video to be something anyone could have access too and could complete. We will dive into many more casting techniques as we move forward - Matt
Just out of curiosity @Matt, i just noticed you wore a Mjolnir in the Viking spear video, and, well, if i can ask, do you wear it for religious reasons or just aesthetics?
Defy media went and disappeared off the face of the planet. And possibly with a lot of channels add revenue money. There was a Phillip DeFranco newsy episode on it. A bunch of the creators also are accusing Defy of not paying them for at least a month. There's also a bunch of articles about it, but because UA-cam isn't "real content" mainstream media won't cover it, even thought its possibly quite a few millions of dollars gone. Phil's show was the first I'd heard about it. I think in September? Maybe? The Defy logo was on the thumbnail and the title said something about it, that should give you a decent starting point to check it out.
Great video. Love them all. Have a random question. A little unrelated. Can anyone, even the creators please tell me what music is playing at 13 minutes. While playing my guitar and watching this I synced up with that music and really like what I did. I Go to bensound.com from the description but the list is massive. Don't know who edits these videos and I would hate email Anyone for something so trivial but if anyone knows please respond. I will of course keep searching. As far as the hammer it is really nice to watch a master at work who clearly loves his art just like everyone on this channel.
The Norse had borax, although it would have been expensive. It was available in Europe from the 8th Century CE onwards: the height of Norse civilization was in the 10th Century CE. But it did come from Tibet via the Silk Road, so it would have cost more than today. That being said, the point of the borax is to prevent oxidation. Quite a few other materials also have this property, including plain old charcoal.
I believe that the channel 'Man At Arms' was affiliated with DEFY, a company which went under, and as such, they no longer have access to that channel.
...should mention to save the scraps and the filings. The earth no longer manufactures precious metals. That's what gets me about all those craftspeople vs professional jewelers....they waste a lot. Even the smallest scraping or dust will be valuable some day. SMDH

I was so fucking relived to see it wasn't a crappy marble thors hammer. Well done for doing it right.
I'd love to see you guys show how to make a proper set of engraving cutters, like what kind of steel to use, how to sharpen it, etc.
Excellent idea! We will definitely consider that!
I started to watch this, but now I sit, mesmerized while watching the carving action, and my eyes are still glued. Please help.
I'm sorry. Imagine me having to edit it for hours...Like a trance.
So glad to see you guys make in depth videos even if its only small project. Ive always found the group very knowledgeable and my only complaint about man at arms was the short episodes.
Very cool. More of these. ☺️
As an aspiring jeweler I really like this.
I'd love to see a video on forging an integral guard on a blade without power tools. Also, forging tang transitions for through tangs.
Another great vid ty
You’re doing a absolute fantastic job on this new channel! Keep up the good work👊🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Would really like to see an episode on making hot cut tools and punches and hammers
WOOOOOO, RICK VIDEO!!!
Thank you.
Love your videos !! Greetings from germany
This is really good, looking forward to make some person presents for family.

Hail Thor!
I literally got soapstone today for Christmas. This is an amazing coincidence. I couldn't find anything good online about casting in soapstone.
Score!
Now you have a project!
You need more subscribers! I will share with my fellow nerds (mostly my family)

Could you use fire brick or clay instead of soap stone?

Yea it’s up as unlisted for a couple days so that Patreon supporters get to see it before the general public.
@@ThatWorks Completely understandable, keep forging ahead! I'll pat myself on the back for that pun.
Traditional Pukko knife with Celtic knottwork carved handle and blade
It wouldn't be a traditional puukko (not pukko) anymore, though.
A coping saw with a fine blade would work too!
This 10th century hammer silver original piece - where can I find this?
Been looking for this kind of shape for ages now.

I think you will need a soapstone about 2 or 3 foot bigger, to properly cast Thor's hammer.
historically thor's hammers were worn by norse people much as a crucifix is worn
Isaac JWM Greenleaf He was making a joke.
Do a silver cross please!
dude its the same process, you could carve a skull or a peace symbol in the soapstone, thats why he says scribe your shape and carve it out
I'm having a really hard time finding soapstone. Would a graphite block work for carving a mold?
Nice job. Would clay not be easier to use instead of soapstone?
I would guess it would depend on the melting point of the metal they're using...?
Sand would be easiest but we wanted our first casting video to be something anyone could have access too and could complete. We will dive into many more casting techniques as we move forward - Matt
That Works would u melt the sand in shape I’m asking because I can’t tell what kind of clay I got around here in NC
Which stone are you using for the mold? Thanks for reply.
Soapstone. I missed that too at the beginning, I had to back it up. He also says it at the very end. Sometime in the last 2 minutes.
@@arranaburden5667 Thanks! :)

Всем смотреть
Can other metals be used as I'm allergic to silver
Anything non-toxic with a low enough melting point should work. Aluminum, bronze, pewter etc.
the metal you use is totally up to what your capabilities to bring that type of metal to a pure molten state
James Hamaker Weird flex but ok
@thatworks why is. Men at arms dead pls I want to know keep up the great blades work 🔨⚒️🛡️🗡️⚔️

Why to cast when you can forge it
You say historicly speaking, dut the norse had no acess to modern borax. So back in those days you better not fail.
The Norse had borax, although it would have been expensive. It was available in Europe from the 8th Century CE onwards: the height of Norse civilization was in the 10th Century CE. But it did come from Tibet via the Silk Road, so it would have cost more than today.
That being said, the point of the borax is to prevent oxidation. Quite a few other materials also have this property, including plain old charcoal.

Seriously dude? You better change that dislike to a like. We are tying our best!
These guys are doing excellent work with the resources they have!
dislike for you because youre an idiot
They aren’t in control of that show. They continue to put out good info and interesting projects.
I'm pretty sure that BKS team would continue that show forever if they are in control of Man At Arms but for now they aren't
