I really liked that particular interview.

I could choose any number of points that Cashen made, but to choose just one that was insightful, a quote from the answer to Question 10 :arrow:

I think we got all those sword shaped objects in the past because photos can only give us two dimensions, and a proper sword is one of the most three dimensional things I have ever handled. The production stuff suffered the most because without that third dimension, it just made economical sense to stamp the blade out of flat sheet and then throw some edges on it.

Wow , I really can't wait to meet him in Houston, I'm so looking forward that. I think his approach to swordmaking is inspiring, I know which direction to go now with my attempts. Thanks for making this interview available.
