This is my first youtube video. It is on the use and function of Late Bronze Age Short Swords in the Ewart Park style. The swords are both made by Master Bronze Smith Neil Burridge of [ Ссылка ] where you can contact him about getting one or more of these beautiful and as you can see functional works of art and history.

The chicken being used is 6 pounds and fresh and was of course cleaned and cooked to be eaten as soon as testing was done, I do not believe in wasting food, indeed one of the limitations of my testing will be if I can eat the results of my previous tests before I do my next ones :)

The pell the chicken is tied to is strung up to the decking of the patio with the bottom resting on the floor. It is quite heavy and has sufficient give to move in a way reminiscent of a standing human target. The pell is a thick wooden pole wrapped in several layers of carpet for padding which is then covered in several layers of gorilla tape. To keep it clean there is some saran wrap covering it as well.

Feel free to ask questions or contribute knowledge and understandings in the comments section below! I'm looking forward to future testing and I am open to suggestions as well.
