Bronze Age Dagger

[prob]

My son has been working at casting items out of copper and bronze and decided to attempt a recreation of an ancient Egyptian bronze dagger.

Though entirely different from many of the things one may encounter in this subforum, it is, nonetheless, an interesting little video.

Very cool!

(Now tell him we said to clean up the shop.)

Thanks.

Very cool, he hand made a great looking dagger and a fine educational and entertaining video to go along with it. I gave it a thumbs up.



"It was discouraging at first but trial and error is how you learn."

Sounds like the wise words of a true craftsman to me.

Thanks for the very positive comments. I appreciate it that you took the time to write something nice.

Impressive work, both the dagger and the video.

The quality of his craftsmanship and also his well filmed videos are worth the nice comments.

I also liked his video on the Ruger Mark IV Hunter, stainless steel 22 caliber, semi auto pistol
but it was the little extra things like the tool he made out of wood, to help load the pistol, that makes his videos better than some other youtubers.

I'm sure people have put heads of lettuce on their bayonet of the their Mosin-Nagant rifles and blown them up but his better than average quality slow-motion makes it look that much nicer.

It's like the Death Star made of lettuce.

Excellent dagger, and equally excellent video--thanks for posting!

I love how-to videos of all sorts, but especially those on metal working. Here's a good one showing a true artist making a Damascus knife blade:

A true artist indeed. The blade he forged belongs in a museum.
