This is a tutorial on how to blacksmith a fullering tool which puts the groove in both sides of a sword or knife at the same time. Just a basic tool that can quickly be put together. This is part of my next sword making project where I will make a larger sword with a fuller in it

This is Part 5 of the Storm the Castle Diorama tutorial. It is an eight foot castle sieging scene where an army is laying siege to a large castle.
In this part of the series we do most of the major work on the castle area of the scene. Paint the buildings, put them in place and add some of the detail work to the buildings and castle walls.

This is a build video. I Make the Revell Flying Fortress aircraft. It is a big plane - 19 inches in length completed and 1:48 scale. . And it is a fun build.
I also use Plastic Putty to touch up seams on the aircraft. This is a neat little product that plastic modelers use to get better looking models.
Total time to build this kit was about 20 hours.
This is a Revell Skill Level 4 which makes it a challenging build with a lot of parts. Revell skill levels go 1-5 with 1 being the easiest.
In part 2 of this series I show you how to make the Airstrip diorama for this aircraft: https://youtu.be/rRJeq0JqyFw

This is a tutorial on how to make a type of chainmail called Dragonscale. It is a beautiful looking chainmail and it uses two different sized rings so it is a bit more complex than the more common 4 in 1 style. I walk you through the process step by step.
If you want more I have a web based tutorial right here:
http://stormthecastle.com/blacksmithing/how-to-make-dragonscale-chainmail.htm
This is a chainmail style that a beginner can make and I show you how to do it ring by ring. It is a repeating pattern so once you learn the pattern you just repeat it. But if you want to start with something easier my beginners tutorial is here: http://youtu.be/EUrY7uwcYsI

I have two insights for you when it comes to challenges and journeys in your life. This is inspired by the last two days where I have walked 12 miles each day in preparation for an upcoming pilgrimage across three countries in Europe.
The actual pilgrimage will be on the Way of Saint James in Spain.
It is a 500 mile walk.
The mental aspect of big adventure is just as important as the physical aspect.
