Thread: Kagi-ba-Sword forging shop

Great thread. Angular momentum at a constant speed is acceleration IIRC.

No disrespect meant Bruno, but if I can build something that some guy wants to display I get to charge him more for it and can make more of the daily tool for use for at more reasonable cost. And after all displaying an item is a use, and sometimes is the intended use (art knives) wether I like it or not.

Danocon, correct without the pure collectors we would have lost much throughout history. Especially when looking for the original forms and uses of "legendary" items and the dispelling of myths relating to them. Think of all the debates concerning the muscle car wars of the late '60s and the myths and legends created by the mid '80s. Factory cars rumored to run 11 second 1/4mi. Right, only the truly exotic (factory race cars). We had to go back and dispel these (myths) and owe true collectors, who saved many of the original examples in original condition and a fine state of repair, a thanks. It also allows us to go back and build true to form (and usable) reproductions. These collections are a benefit to society in many ways. They show us much about ourselves, where we have been and where we are going.
