Sword Making Tutorial Make Your Own Gladius
#68
Quote:Matt thanks for that. I think there was a major misunderstanding from the get go with this thread. I barely got the intro out and it was already assumed that I had not done any research. In other words I never got the chance to get there yet in my presentation here.

Okay, I have no idea where that idea would've come from- nothing whatsoever was assumed or said about your research, all we wrote was that it was necessary to discuss designs first- you hadn't presented one so how could it be criticized?

Ironically, the issue probably wouldn't have come up had you termed this a rudis-making tutorial- since I don't believe any originals are known, there is no 'accurate' design, and the idea might even be unrealistic anyway :lol:
