    I follow over 500 channels on RUclips and the videos in this series are by far my most eagerly anticipated. You're a phenomenal artist Kyle, and your videos provide a lot of happiness to a lot of people that are struggling at the moment. Thank you

      You are absolutely right. I'm a bladesmith myself but at the moment I'm homeless and sleep on the streets. I charge my phone at coffee bars to be able to have at least RUclips. My dog recently got osteoporosis. I do indeed struggle a lot and indeed Kyle's uploads are my highlight every time they are posted. Stay well brother

    Seen a lot of comments from people complaining about how he's acting now, yet they fail to understand you're seeing days and days, sometimes a week of his time, condensed into 40mins-hour, I don't doubt he acts like this all the time and I'd say it's the editing that's changed actually, probably just to show off more of his personality, great I say, I hope the trolls stop crying one day and just let people be themselves:/🎉

    • @Eternal_Songbird
      @Eternal_Songbird 22 дня назад +2

      For real. He's just a guy who really enjoys his work and having fun being a goof while doing it.
      Do I vibe with his jokes/sense of humour, not really, but ain't no excuse or reason for me to make a rude comment about it either. He's having fun, so who the hell am I to shame him for it? He's making works of art and that's why I watch these vids.
      If his personality bothers people so much, that's a them problem not his, and they should simply leave quietly instead of trying to quiet someone for who they are.

Your work is AMAZING! Looking forward to the finished product. Keep being yourself and enjoying what you are doing. You are awesome, and I love seeing your family dynamics. Shows you as a person as well as the master craftsman that you are.

    At 6000 rpm, the G forces on a 10' merry-go-round would be something on the order of 6,300 G. If you were somehow forced to stay on the merry-go-round, such as standing against a wall on the edge, you'd very quickly turn into a sort of gritty soup.

    Great work. Question for you, Kyle and company. How come you didn't do a feather Damascus for the the Griffin guard? I would have thought that would be very fitting with the theme to have a feathered Damascus handle with the beautiful Mosaic blade. The work still looks great, just a thought that was eating at me.

    • @maximeteppe7627
      @maximeteppe7627 Месяц назад +1

      yeah, I like that he's goofy, but it seems like here he's repeating jokes in case the first one isn't good enough in the edit...but the edit includes every take.
      Eother stop repeating the joke, or be more descening in the edit.
      As it is, the goofing around doesn't feel as spontaneaous, and even if it is just kyle being kyle, it's a bit to much (and I've been there as a teen when I was much more insecure... it's not a problem if people don't laugh at the joke, you'll get them on the next one, but you'll never get them by forcing the joke.)

    At the start of day 39 you said that if the pattern on the guard didn't turn out like you wanted it too, you'd have thrown away the piece. Would you have actually discarded it, or kept just in case you or someone else wanted to use it on another project?

    I love that you're putting metal fittings on the scabbard. That's something that bugs me - windlass will make metal fitted scabbards, but places like Darksword won't. I considered buying Darksword's Damascus Anduril, but it doesn't have the matching scabbard.
    Other companies like Albion don't bother with scabbards at all...
