Just to make sure I'm not hallucinating or anything...

You got up in the morning and decided on a whim to make a sword from a garden gate.

That's correct, right?

I think swords are very 15th century TBH. I'm just fashioning a tamper for a thermonuclear device from lead piping this morning. Don't suppose you've any depleted uranium in your shed?

 

[Ming the Merciless]

depleted uranium in your shed?

I’ve got some plutonium. I chiselled it off an ancient square taper BB I found round the back of Sellafield.

Excellent. You do the primary and I'll sort the secondary.

 

[Drago]

Does he do pork swords?

 

[derrick]

Might have to have a go at Excaliber, broad sword would have to weld two bits of the gate together, I really need a furnace for that one.

 

[Reynard]

Dunno... Be a good sword for a hog roast...

Mind, I have three foils, two epees and three sabres, which kind of solves my sword fetish.

I have to admit I did make a spear the other day. Kinda 16th century type.

And now thinking about it I need to put a handle , short of course, on my Halbert. I think that's the right name.

‘Halberd’. Although a proper Englishman should have a Bill - none of these ‘foreign’ polearms!
