so glad I found your second channel on YT, Pavel!
when the activity of the 1st one stopped a few years ago, I was afraid you stopped filming the process

[@katanamaking2606]

I didn't produce anything for about three years. I was just working on the swords. Bad mood period. Then I bought a quality camera. I think the videos on this channel are a little better made.

@@katanamaking2606 thanks for the clarification Pavel, now I understand.
It's great you're back on track!
Been watching your videos for 10 years, probably and looking forward to seeing the upcoming ones!

You produce absolutely amazing blades. I have seen your website. I would like to ask, what is that stuff you put on the saya at 18:59 ?

[@katanamaking2606]

Genuinely asking because I know nothing about power hammers just want to see if my ears are right. Does that sound out of alignment?
