Sword Making Tutorial Make Your Own Gladius

[Titus Publius Saturninus]

Hi Matt actually I am ready to trash the entire venture because it's quickly losing it's flavor and becoming sour graped. I have yet to even actually present it and already it is being picked apart far too prematurely and I really don't want to go into some arena and have to qualify every move I make or accidental miswording here.

I am firmished at this point that the members in this forum still don't get it after I had tried to clarify it as best as I possibly could. Again I have DONE my research and did not come here to have to defend myself and draw lengthy explanations for something I have not even been given the opportunity to yet explain. In other words allow a person to GET there first.

The purpose of the tutorial was to try and HELP members who have never attempted this kind of work to get it into their own hands and find a deeper enjoyment and enrichment of this study.

So far as researching the rudius there is going to be as much info out there as there is going to be and if that's all there is then that is all there is. It was in fact a simple wooden sword for use in practice and or presentation as a gift.

If someone believes I am incompetent and wishes to take over for me here they can knock themselves out. I'm done.

Thank you sir
