A re-post from 'Hammered Out Bits'
This in response to a recent comment from 'Anonymous', or any others who :
a) are too lazy to follow the included links to the large amounts of research information freely available on the DARC web site.
b) take the 'tell me everything' approach.

"Teach me to make swords"
(I absolutely howled!)
I try not to do this kind of thing too often (re-post something seen on Facebook that is from YouTube). But this was just WAY too good not to pass along. I expect many of my fellow blacksmiths will also howl with laughter (and recognize the conversation!). Most of my readers here will also be highly amused...
A day in the life of a custom sword maker.
This is based on actual questions and comments I have received. The comments range from innocently misguided, through ignorant, to downright rude. They are presented here as if they all came from the same individual who becomes increasingly tiresome to deal with.
If you see yourself in the early part of the vid, don't feel bad, you are probably a well meaning if slightly confused individual.
If you see yourself toward the middle of the video, you may need to get a better understanding of how the world works. Put down the game controller and pick up a book once in a while. Maybe go outside.
If you see yourself toward the end of the video, you need counseling as your social skills are on par with those of a badger.
