I would like to give a huge thank you to the historic Quamby Estate for access to their incredible hotel for the filming of the closing shots. If you're ever visiting Tasmania's beautiful Northern ranges, please consider staying with them. It's an experience you won't forget!

The amazing music in this video is from an incredibly obscure Australian/Irish folk band called "The Celts". Unfortunately they're so obscure they have nothing I can link you to, but I have had a deep love for their music since I first saw them live on stage as a child.

I saw three things that you could have done better. First off you could have made that sword combat ready by making sure that handle will never come off that blade but you apparently made a rat tail and screwed it in. Secondly the Box since you made this for a Warrior who undoubtedly has seen combat you would want to make the Box a little bit better for example the outside looks pretty good but if you would have burnt and singed some of the paint and some areas considering these are decorated combat veteran active or retired that you are presenting this to. Thirdly the Cradle in the box that you made you could have put at least some felt underneath where The Sword and the Scabbard would fit so that it wasn't just jiggling around on basically what is satin covered wood which isn't all that good for the blade or the Scabbard. So you should have put some sort of felt or foam down just to be safe and to make sure it stays safe. Other than that everything looks amazing and I would definitely pay what you were asking except I would ask you to make it combat ready permanently bonding the handle to the blade by leaving enough Tang to put a counterweight and then peen the tang and rivet it to the counterweight on the handle permanently bonding it making it combat ready.... As a military sword should be!🫡

@ValhallaIronworks Well..... Because 12 of my family members have worked for Angel Blade Works in Texas. The only reason why I haven't is because I like to get stoned as hell. So I am a blacksmith a farrier an edgemaster meaning of I have a working knowledge of every single edged weapon in existence I am a Carpenter and almost every man in my family has been in the armed forces. Some never came home, and I know for a fact that if you're making something heirloom quality, you don't half-ass it add cut corners. Because someone in the family will notice and they will spread the seed and that family will like the work you did on the wall hanger they commissioned from you but the decorative and commemorative box that you made for them is of let's say Middle School woodshop quality. You went 97% of the way. And called it good. You couldn't have taken the time to go the extra 3% and possibly an extra 10% to make it an even 110% and make it so in transit the Scabbard or the blade or the Box itself doesn't get damaged by adding felt or foam and decorative straps to hold it down while in transit. But instead of having that kind of intelligence and fortitude and saying thank you for the idea you decided to be a dick and cop an attitude with somebody whose family has been doing what you're doing since before there was a United States of America. My family actually made combat sabers the French Revolution Napoleon's men swords for Nordic Swedish and danish royalty the carpenters in my family donated their time and effort and their finances to volunteer their skills for rebuilding of the inside of Notre Dame. My family also makes puzzle desks sort of like the ones that you have probably seen in National Treasure 2 Book of Secrets. My family has made them for royalty heads of state diplomats, business tycoons, and philanthropists all over the world. We also make tables desks, chairs, picture frames shelves TV and nightstands, all with secret hidden compartments. If you like, you can see a good amount of our work under a myriad of names on Etsy and Amazon. Although we do not talk personal family business to other people because we also are competitive and don't want any outsiders to ruin our family fun trying to one up each other. So if you do go on Etsy and start asking around, it won't matter who you ask. Nobody will tell you anything about our family other than what our products are and what they're worth and I have about 35 unbelievably skilled people in my family working for the business and most of us have different last names. So those are just half of a page of my 16-page credentials. Here's just a short list of my families references the late Queen Elizabeth King Charles a couple Lords in his court the Crown Prince William and even his mother the late Princess Diana Gerald Ford Ike Eisenhower George Bush senior and Junior Obama Bill and Hillary Clinton Joe Biden Donald Trump and several prominent politicians high-ranking military foreign and domestic and several prominent Hollywood Stars and even his Royal Excellency Sheikh Hamdan bin Muhammad bin bin Rashid Al Maktoum has entire houses filled floor to ceiling with our products and/or handiwork. Someone that comes to me telling you that you could do better just know that you are grade school compared to my PhD doctorate level education when it comes to your hobby that I made into an actual business and with my family together made an Empire I think you should shut douche loser mouth and stick to making your mediocre products. Cuz in my family we make 1,000 % functional full-blooded live combat tools of War that just so happened that you can pass them down from generation to generation and turn it into a family heirloom because our products are Beyond heirloom quality. Yours you couldn't even cut through a styrofoam block without breaking. Every single one of our blades is brutally tested against a big block of Ironwood and then a Viking Shield just to be safe. That's how strong and how durable our products are. Remember douche nozzle, there's always somebody out there who is bigger and better and tougher than you. And you are a little Chihuahua going up against a kangal mixed with a Caucasian mountain shepherd. In this fight, you stand no chance. So next time when you come across somebody who's trying to give you sound ideas for next time, say that's a good idea. I appreciate the inspiration, and I will keep that in mind for my next project. Thank you! Let me ask you this. Have you even studied how to be a blacksmith or did you just watch forged in Fire and decided you can do that too because you're going through a midlife crisis and can't afford even your cheapest most basic model of Corvette? Because judging by your videos all you make is wall hangers from cheap sheet metal that you cut out with a hacksaw put to the grinder to shape the useless blade polish it up and then put a cheap weak inferior handle on what would be a piece of just about useless metal that identifies as a sword! I really truly could have helped you and your business immensely. But your arrogance will cost you greatly and you don't even know it. So don't quit your day job. Because your midlife crisis hobby will not pay your bills....

Yes but what qualifications do you have to tell me how to do my job, when you know nothing about me, my circumstances, my processes or the details of what the customer asked for this commission. You've made a slew of assumptions to write your initial comment. Also, once again, I never asked your opinion. Don't offer advice to someone without them asking for it. It's just rude.
