Dave Stephens Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Okay, we were all getting a bit punchy at this point of Arctic Fire. Jake and Michael found this Velveta commercial on Youtube. They thought it was hilarious. I picked them up after a hike and they were like "We MUST go to the store and buy some cheese!" . . .uh, alright. 10 pounds of Velveta. I ad hoc cheese quench tank welded up. Several faux swords heated in the forge . . . We really have no excuse for this . . . LOL Okay, to understand it, you have to watch this video first. <iframe width="853" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YaaU1HZsQuE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Then, it's the swordsmith's turn . . . Wait for the end for a special salute to Team Dane Axe and Jake's revenge on his arch nemesis, Eli Siderius (plus a cameo by Mouse the Mastiff!). <iframe width="853" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/iCqcTaszQkY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> -----------------------------------------------"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

Kevin Colwell Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 this maybe should be one of the, "Secret Teachings," that you give to the developing smith after several years of dedicated service. please visit my website http://www.professorsforge.com/ “Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.” E. V.

Jake Powning Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 eight pounds of boiling cheese! that was better than I could have imagined... I think that Michael might be a Wisconsin cheese-baron double agent-- they trained him from a young age to be an exceptional swordsmith so that he could infiltrate a sword gathering and subvert the event to make a viral cheese marketing video. well played sir. well played.

Dave Stephens Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 All of you except for Peter wimped out in the face of liquid gold! Yeah! That was one of the funniest parts. All us North Americans were like "Run Away!" (Monty Python Voice), and the stoic Swede just sat there getting cheese burns. Well . . .I guess Jake didn't flee. He collapsed from laughter. Priceless.

Richard Furrer Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I like the video...very good guys. but I feel the need to point out, as a guy from Wisconsin, that Velvita IS NOT CHEESE. Now, had you quenched in five year old cheddar while facing North and had the fondu at the right temp, well...I'd have no issues at all.
