That Works

A channel all about blacksmithing, bladesmithing, tool restoration, crafting and anything else a maker would be into! It was started by Matt Stagmer and Ilya Alekseyev the former hosts of Man At Arms. We make everything from traditional ironwork to big giant swords from your favorites video games, anime, pop culture, historical items and even original art! We are dedicated to showing the craft in a way that honors the artisans that came before us. In addition to our full build videos we also do a teaching series called Your Edge that focuses in on a specific technique like engraving and gives you the information to give new techniques a try. How to at it's best!
