That turned out nicely, and good job on the editing. You and Tod were chill and fun to hang out with, and of course knowledgeable. It was neat to handle a few original swords as well. Quite an awesome day... thanks again for meeting up!

Coincidentally I'm just rendering the edit of my first collab video with you two, which will be up later this week.

Tod is one of the only people in the world who has the right to get handed an original rapier that would have been considered high quality in it's period and immediately say, "workmanship's not that great"

THE SWORD TRINITY HAS FINALLY ASSEMBLED!!!! ⚔

I had to LOL at Skall guessing within 5g on the English Rapier's mass.

@theredwind 1 year ago

The silence and zoom in on Skall’s face for “Just The Tip” was appropriate

@FoardenotFord 1 year ago

Legitimately the HEMA/swordmaking/historical sword collecting dream team. Couldn’t be happier seeing all three of you collaborating.

awesome collab , skallagrim is such an awesome dude, good seeing him cross the sea for some amazing content

@Shifty_Looking_Cow 1 year ago

I literally laughed out loud at the zoom in on Skall's face when Matt said "just the tip".

@polymathart 1 year ago

Why does it look like Skall stole all of Matt and Tod’s hair?

@michaelbates4834 1 year ago

What a great surprise collaboration! It popped up and was an instant watch. Now to finish the video.

Good to see skallagrim on the channel, I liked his open minded ‘hands on’ approach in the discussion between Tod’s craft and Matt’s knowledge.

Ooh boy after all these years here we go! I really hope you guys make a lot of videos together

I love the way you find ways to give space to each other, and allow each other to weave in your insights, and everything feels uplifting and encouraging. In a world of conflict centered content, it's nice to have a celebration of true collaboration. Thank you!

This deserves to be watched on the big screen

Love the way Tod asked "Are you selling this?" after commenting "It's not a fantastic workmanship". He immediately realized that he might need to mellow down on criticism if that rapier was for sale. Very thoughtful
