Forging real swords based on pop culture versions

Regular readers may recall my posts about master swordsmith, Tony Swatton, who armored up my pencil box and who leads Viking raids on IKEA.

Tony has produced hundreds of movie weapons, and now he's working with a video team to produce a web series showing the process he uses in his shop in Burbank, CA. Each week Tony forges a new weapon based on suggestions from viewers. He uses grinders, furnaces, and power hammers, and explains each step of the process. Then "he takes his weapon to the streets to bust up some stuff.."


In the first eposide, Tony builds Jaime Lannister's sword from "Game of Thrones." These videos are helpful for concept artists to watch to see the logistics of the build and the strength needed to use real weapons that follow fantasy designs.
