nah

im a novice

tbh, right now handles are what screws me up

I think I'd rather work with wood

cause no drill i have is capable of drilling through the steel

not the coil spring anyways

i actually have a seax in progress

but the flamethrower interrupted that

Id be interested in making tankards

You dont get it

knives are the ONLY thing i know how to forge

I'm speaking for myself

Lol

with enough trial and error i could probably get something that doesnt blow up in my face

but it would be crude

Tankards are wooden mugs

<@722152971831345152> hmm. Ur screwed

ah

well, i prefer metal as a material

They'd round u up like cattle and throw you in camps

its strong, unwavering, and can keep its shape really well

and it only wavers when you heat it up to 3000 degrees fahrenheit

@Deleted User forged in fire doesnt determine skill. I know, I was on that show.

Ive seen 20 year vets lose to complete amateurs.

My apprentice only forged a single blade before we went on the show. At the end of the first round he had a knife hardened, to spec, at the end of the round. We only saw maybe 5 minutes of actual aire time. The farriers got almost 20 minutes. They were women so...

They yeeted us off, not because of his blade, but because Mark and Jessica's knife had a crack and I threw a fit that they were going to kick them off. So the judges took it out on me and Leon. I was okay with it. We played tour guides at the Metropolitan museum.

You could see the character of who was who based on the reactions of getting booted. Leon and I were pounding fists and smiling, the farriers were crying and whining. Joe and Casey were like "whatevs".

What season and episode I'll watch it

Season 5, episode 6. Ultimate team challenge.

You have to prove your skill to be on that show. I forged a katana on the side of a mountain with duck tape, and a single hammer. Looked amazing given what I used to make it. That got me on the show because I proved I could make a sword length blade in less than 5 days. And I did it in a hole in the ground.

The host always sounds like his nose is clogged

Lol, hes a dirty joker.

Any of them assholes?

Baker. Lol. The producers told the judges to be assholes to Leon and I but Baker is a natural asshole.

Wow

Cool
