EltonJ:
Interested how a modern swordsmith works on a blade?

Brilliant! If you enjoyed that, you might also like the show called Forged in Fire:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forged_in_Fire_(TV_series) It's not quite as technical as this video, but does have a great array of different weapons made across the series, and uses simpler techniques that seem to be more accessible to the home hobbyist.
Vladimir:
I took a blade smithing class from world class swordsmith Vince Evans. I learned how to forge Damascus steel, temper blades and make every step from forge welding to the final furniture work.
Now that I'm retired, I can do all the work I've been putting off for years.
Vince Evans blade...I have three in my collection.
New workshop... Have to get the forge setup outside.
Boromir:
On a similar journey myself. Finished my forge build yesterday (twin burner, 900mm-long chamber).
Vladimir:
I started out, years ago, manufacturing SCA armor:
...and giving lectures on Medieval equipment and combat:
I also taught a fencing school...
