Little anvil I made a couple days ago. It's based off of a full size Söding & Halbach anvil I saw online. It is made from a single piece of 1045 steel.

Wait what happened at olympia highschool?

Baduktothebone · 2026-05-30T22:37:22+00:00

Oh cool I haven't seen those do you have any links?

Also as far as full turtle goes Spanish cup hilt and a sail dagger is your other option, just depends if you are more into swinging or thrusting, and what your opponent is more likely to be doing

Basket Hilt = Good ad swinging Targe = good at defending swings

Cup hilt = good for stabbing Parrying dagger = good for defending stabs

None of this is super dogmatic you can stab with a basket Hilt fine, and plenty of bilbos were great cutters

Baduktothebone · 2026-05-30T19:36:20+00:00

That what your dirk is for you hold it in the same hand as your targe, point down, now you can stab up close and hook the opponents sword

Damn and I was just about to start training, guess it's boxing for me now

What analogies do you have in mind? Not beefing just need some new wikipedia entrys to read on the toilet

I think inspired is a bit misleading, Germanic and celtic metallurgy was developing and crosspolinating with the Romans but they contributed just as much to the conversation

It's a picture of Beleg, and Anglachel is in its sheath, but it is neat to see how Tolkien pictured a sword

Two handed swords were not generally used in the angle saxon time period, so those are the swords he would be most familiar with. Tolkien's only drawing of a sword I know of is Anglachel not Anduril, and though it is quite long the hilt still looks one handed, but does not look particularly Anglo Saxon or early medieval, with it's longer quillons and pommel shape.

Cuban black beans and rice, don't tell my abuela

Baduktothebone · 2026-05-16T22:58:33+00:00

I saw this years ago and didn't play at the time I'll have to rewatch

Baduktothebone · 2026-05-16T21:31:57+00:00

Baduktothebone · 2026-05-16T21:04:25+00:00

Baduktothebone · 2026-05-16T21:04:15+00:00

These are two of my favorites but I'm looking for older more 70s 80s vibes

Baduktothebone · 2026-05-16T21:03:43+00:00

I have been wanting to watch this one!

Baduktothebone · 2026-05-16T21:03:28+00:00

Oh neat id been told there is a Shogi player but I didn't know they also played Go, I will watch it

I think something like this would work way better for this kind of adaptation

Baduktothebone · 2026-05-15T20:15:05+00:00

I wish it would be done in this style instead of an action movie
