Charles dP 474 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Yup, beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. Link to post Share on other sites
Joshua States 1,717 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Yes! It is alive! (again) the hilt sketch looks fantastic. Any chance Petr, of some photos during the antler carving? I have been busy searching for a fabled Arctic Fire video of Petr demonstrating bone carving but have been unable to locate the video. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Collin Miller 136 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I second what Joshua States said! I was looking for the videos from Arctic Fire, Grendel's hoard recently, and was unable to find them anywhere. The sword is very nice, though! Can't wait to see it finished.

Dave Stephens 424 Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 Collin/Joshua: The AF 2016 videos are being edited and will be released as soon as possible. It's one of the realities of this thing: The live shots are the easy ones. Editing them down to useable/watchable finished products is the thing that takes time. We outsourced the production of the broadcast to a great local Alaskan company of professional film makers. They are also doing the editing. However, they are doing so "on spec," meaning that they hope after they're released they can make some money on them through a lot of views on youtube. This means that they edit it between all the paying jobs they get. It took AF 2013 two years before we had a finished product to release. It wouldn't surprise me if AF 2016 took just as long. You know the old adage: Good/Fast/Cheap . . . choose two. Well, with AF it's good and cheap. Grins, Dave 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Marty Blake 1 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I followed the first one online, missed 2013 and was wondering about 2016. Free is good too. Just the kind of thing I like to rewatch, You all out so much work in and it really is amazing to watch it all happen. Link to post Share on other sites

I really enjoyed it, it is well made and edited, in my opinion, and it's really nice to see how much fun you guys had. I would really like to see the other(s) but definitely can't find them. Do you have a link or something? Cheers Fra Link to post Share on other sites

Zeb Camper 780 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Can't wait to see this one finished. The flow of the carving that you guys do is awesome. You guys should send a blade back in time just to see how the scops would sing it into myth and legend. All of a sudden it would be some national treasure . Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Stephens 424 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Just to be clear: There's no "you guys" in the carving department on this one. Petr's 100% of the carving. And yeah, he's the F- - - - ng man when it comes to this sort of thing. Thanks guys. Link to post Share on other sites
