Chris C-S Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Of all the power hammers I've seen being used the aesthetics of yours looks nice. I like the big C frame look. Anyway, I eagerly await the next video. And in doing so have watched all the serpent in the sword videos but can't seem to find the engraving/finishing one on YouTube, I presume you made one?.

Kevin Colwell Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Thanks for all of the work on the videos. My son and I like them a lot. You are doing some cool experiments/work. The outcome is seriously-impressive, too. 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.

Joshua States Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 This has been an unbelievably fantastic set of videos. Thanks again. “So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it. I've been there before.” The only bad experience is the one from which you learn nothing.

Charles dP Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Thank you Niels. The recalescence at 3:15 is simply breathtaking. I find myself both looking forward to the last video and wishing it wouldn't end . If you don't mind, could you please share your post etching cleaning procedure? Thanks again.

Niels Provos Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Here is the last episode. My etching and polishing is pretty standard. I'll write it up later. Addendum (years later): I posted a complete step-by-step video on reconstructing this pattern-welded wolf tooth spear. 2 Niels Provos The Serpent in the Sword Videos - Sword Resource Search Listen to my Activ8te EDM music releases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty straight forward. Remove the oxides with mother's metal polish. Mix iron oxide with oil and apply with steel wool. Clean with windex and soap. Done. I would not mind hearing about how other people treat their steel though :-) Niels Provos The Serpent in the Sword Videos - Sword Resource Search Listen to my Activ8te EDM music releases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris C-S Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Congratulations @nprovos. Great spear!!! Watched, liked and shared final video. Awesome to she her all finishes up. So now what???

Niels Provos Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 Going down the memory lane and not spending enough time in the shop lately, I realized I never posted the end-to-end video here. 4 Niels Provos The Serpent in the Sword Videos - Sword Resource Search Listen to my Activ8te EDM music releases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
