Lindybeige, i proposed your "the white headhunter" video to my teacher in my last lesson of english and everybody loved that video, greetings by italy.
I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed watching your sword and armor fabrication series!! Actually, your whole approach to authentic archeology and your wonderful British patriotism are excellent in my opinion. I can hardly wait for what's next?!? More! More!
I don't know if it's appropriate to feel pride for someone else's accomplishment... but I'm proud of you LLoyd. Good on you for manufacturing the sword, and hopefully it goes well with the armor ^_^.
What You can't just ignore your sword build for like a year then suddenly act like the previous instalment was last week or so. How's the suit of armour going?
Im pretty sure Lloyd has about a decade worth of footage that he hasn't gotten around to editing yet, he could probably stop recording new things today and still have material till the end of time
As someone that has been interested in smithing since I was a teen, I have to say your first foray into swordsmithing is much, much better than anything I've been able to produce. It really is just that difficult. Quite lovely, I would be proud to have crafted something that nice.
Interesting. I am a recent subscriber to your channel. And when I saw this post. I looked for episode 1-4 ... and saw them all 1-5 in a row ... Letting my family wait In vain for a family evening this Saturday night. :) I cannot imagine the patience the audience of this channel must have had to keep hope upon for this last episode. Very interesting.
I Just saw all 5 parts in a row. Its quite heartwarming to see lindys smile goes wider every part until you see him truly happy holding his sword here.
Absolute beauty of a sword, perfect proportions. Well done. The blade itself is such a nice shape and pattern it's so good looking from every angle like a ferrari
Remember: authentic swords were NEVER perfect. They did not have the precision tools and power tools we have. It is the small cosmetic flaws that lend to its authenticity.
I love the look of pride and joy in your eyes when you hold your blade. Well done, Lloyd! You've done a beautiful job and I'm so happy I got to go on this journey with you!
Been a long time coming, but I'm extremely glad the journey is now complete. I feel a sense of wholeness inside. You did a great job with Arnander, a worthy heirloom.
im not sure if that potato at the end was french or not, but without a little practice and strenght.... well lets say a noob would probably hit the floor, cause he would underestimate how much energy it needs to stop a blade in time ;)
I got a lindybeige advert at the beginning of the lindybeigr video. Fantastic. Sadly i think im going to be working during your quiz, Lloyd. Good luck to all!
For anyone curious, the song he was whistling at 11:26 is "The Noveltones - Left Bank Two" ... I'd rather post it now because when I tried finding this song last year it took me hours.
Ask Todd Cutler... There are always imperfections in authentic medieval weapons... all of them! This is a really nice job. If you decide to make another 6 or 7 of them, the last on will be just what you want.
10:02 I want to emphasize how much of a good thing this is. This isn't just a cop out either, medieval craftsmen were really not all that concerned with symmetry as we are now. I'm not much of a sword guy, but definitely an armor guy, and in armor we constantly see asymmetrical pieces of armor and pieces of the metal with quite a rough finish due to the construction, and these are seen even on the highest of end pieces out there made for kings and the nobility. Modern craftsmen strive to accomplish the elegant level of imperfection. Though I must say, that crossguard may be a bit too much on the odd end, but it really does give it character.
I’m very envious of you. I’d love to try this and have had a similar sword made for me by Rob Miller at Castle Forge on Skye. He made that whilst I was in spinal rehab 15 years ago. Unfortunately, though I’m capable of a lot, I’ll never swing a sword, let alone a hammer, again. Still great to watch.
I don't care much for swords (I'm just here because I like the channel and will watch this madman talking about anything) but this comment is sad and wholesome at the same time and I just wanted to say I appreciated it. It's cool you can be happy for someone else's experience, even if it's something you want and can't have 💙
the black "sooth" is called "forge scale" and a lot of smiths like to leave it on because its actually harder than the steel and also protects the steel from rust. smooth all the parts out and finish shaping with paper or files, then throw the pieces back into the forge until they're at least cherry red, take em out and wait till the color fades, test with water drops, once the water no longer immediately turns into steam, rub it down with a rag coated in lind seed oil. makes for a beautiful black finish .
I found this series of videos a month ago and noticed that each episode is released years apart. But sure enough you upload the last episode now that I don't have to wait for years like others. Thanks! What odds...
Haven't finished the video but as to how they put holes in pommels: they'd use the forge to punch a hole and then drift it. Sometimes you'd even put the drift in and forge the piece around it to get a long narrow hole! Thank god for drills!!
I'm getting delusions of grandeur here... I only yesterday requested the last part of the sword making progress, and behold, it's here! (Probably had nothing to do with me though 😞)
Regarding the Spandau barrels, they look very much like the real deal, just that they, for some reason, were sawn over at the rear end(looking from the butt of the gun to the muzzle), just in front of the chamber. You can see those separate rear-ends of the barrels lying on top of the barrels at 5:57.

Hahaha nice one

It looks perfect. You'll just have to practice day after day until your muscles bulk up to match the sword.
Or he can start doing steroids and get..... BEIGERAGE!
1. Using a sword doesn't require tremendous amounts of strength.
2. His armor is fitted for his current body shape. If he "bulks up" it wont fit.
its not hard to swing it real fast, the problem is to stop it fast, requires a lot of "wrist up" strenght ;)
" stop it fast " that's what a Frenchman is for!
