Here's my feedback for the video style. I like that you aren't talking through the entire video, so it retains the relaxing feel, while still giving some explanation to what the plan is, and little fun facts

@MakeNCreate 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! It's the very thing I'm going for. Actually wrote a script to make sure I didn't just babble away and go on unrelated tangents. Appreciate the feedback :)

Yeah lots of creators tend to fall into the trap of feeling like they need to fill every moment of silence, so they comment on literally every single thing that's happening lol. This video had a good balance of it all

@bullockhindquarterwoman614 2 жыл бұрын

The charm of your videos are the sounds of the forge, your hammer and bellows, the unfolding of your craft before our eyes and glimpses of that amazing tattoo. Your narration may appeal to the expert or empiricist, but I would prefer your silence and letting your beautiful work speak for itself.

I always find the sound of wrought iron interesting! It sounds squishy to me, for lack of a better word. I've only worked with it once on a very simple project but learned very quickly how easy it can splinter if worked to cold. it is a truly interesting and fun material to work with though! Great video!

@@MakeNCreate Besides the narration, this one feels a little slower / less tightly edited. That is not a bad thing, just different. It feels more in depth.

The difference of 2 mm. on the butt of the knife is compensated by the quality of the carbon steel insert. Therefore, I think that there is nothing terrible in the fact that the thickness of the blade on the butt turned out to be 7 mm instead of 9 mm.

@MakeNCreate 2 жыл бұрын

Very true, it was most likely the reason for it being so thick to start with as iron is soft. However I'm not here to change anything but rather replicate, so it still sucks a little. Thank you very much for watching mate! :)

I thought it was far smaller than your rendering.

@MakeNCreate 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, but as I mentioned in the end of the video I don't think it's unreasonable to think is might have gotten smaller due to parts of rusting away over a thousand years or so. Hence making it a bit larger.

I don’t like the narration. Sorry for my honesty, I hope you don’t think I am being rude… Still, I’ll keep watching your videos because I have no other option: you are the best one out there, in my opinion.

@MakeNCreate 2 жыл бұрын

No problem at all, I love honesty and appreciate all the feedback. It won't be all videos that will be narrated and slow paced like this one. I'll only do narration when I feel like there is a reason to. This particular project is a longer more detailed one so I opted for the narration. Normal regular videos that are self explanatory or where text can do the job just fine will be like they always used to. Thank you!
