I am going to blow my own trumpet.....
ahem.....

Ay 8pm sunday eve on channel 4 "Secret of the saxon gold" A time team special. I think this is a rehash of the nat geo "saxon gold" . there should be a few nice clips of forging a patternwelded seax .(I have not seen the program yet)

At 8pm on monday on Nat geo "bloody tales from the tower" should be some axe forging sequences and sword cutting with my friend and modern sword legend Dave Rawlins (again I have not seen this yet)

and if you want some more.....on BBC 4 iplayer, How it works , episode 2 "Metals" . some good forging scenes and decent views of pattern welding (seen this and liked it)

get your pop corn ready and feel free to throw it at the screen.

hope you enjoy them.

Hey Owen,

I was casually zapping from one channel to another the other day and to my great surprise you showed up on screen Happy

I've seen How it works - metal, and greatly enjoyed it.

See you soon at the workshop!

Cheers,

J
