@Jeff Dougan – Both are in the works – mace first.

Another request, after hearing the Grasshopper (my 6-year-old) talking this morning: warhammer or mace?

@Jeff Dougan – Wolfgang asked for something on edge geometry, and steel types would dovetail well with that – I’ll write it up together.

@Todd the Bladesmith – If you ever make it that far, I’d love to see an “Ares helmet.” (Yes, I know it has a name, and I can’t remember it right now.)

Otherwise, I’d really appreciate a column that explains the different kinds of steel you’ve mentioned at various points.

@metaDM – Me and the kobolds had the name first!

And… Jackman don’t have s**t on me!

@Doomedpaladin – The first video had a technical issue, so we did a redo and there are two busted blocks.

One pic is the blocks as they fell, the other is after I reassembled them. The one on the bottom of the pic is from the video you saw – you can see the mark the strike made in the concrete, and there was a little concrete stuck to the steel.

Next time you smash a brick, show us the remains of it (if any are left).
