Reactions | How Do Blacksmiths Make Swords? @ACSReactions | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
This week on Reactions we head to Portland, Oregon, and learn how blacksmithing is just as much chemistry as it is an artform. Arnon Kartmazov of Bridgetown Forge shows us how blacksmiths make swords. This video was created in celebration of this year’s National Chemistry Week theme: Marvelous Metals. Learn more about it here: http://www.acs.org/ncw
