My advice when it comes to the haters and negative comments is to let them fuel the fire inside you to continue practice your craft and doing what makes you happy. Don't respond to them and continue showcasing your work and incredible craftsmanship and skill. People that say negative things are looking for attention. You starve them of that when you continue doing what you love and find peace in it.

You're doing great. I look forward to more of your creations. :)

Please don't ever let the damn trolls get you down!
You are Easley one of the very best knife maker's
on YouTube also one of the very best craftsman on
any YouTube channel!!
The trolls are not happy unless you let them win.
Don't ever let them win.
I have faith that you will
always come out on top!!
You have a rare talent they
don't have and it makes them jealous of you doing such fantastic work!!

I am pretty sure I could sit here and watch her make just about anything at the forge. Even listening to her explain the work is mesmerizing.

I want to write another comment becuase one is not enough. Your words and poetry are so profound, and they spoke to me when you said, "A gift from yourself to yourself." There is something so meaningful in that passage, because we spend so much time seeiking other's approval that we completely negelct our own gratification with the completion of a job we did well, for ourselves. Thanks again.

In the time of the Vikings, a skilled bladesmith such as yourself would have been a very valuable member of the community. Beautiful work on this blade. Don't let the bastards get you down.

Your Smithing skills are amazing.
It's no wonder that you continually intimidate so many.
Thank you for sharing your craft with us.

I actually find it very relaxing watching you work at your craft.

[robmckendrick]

To a beautiful woman with a beautiful gift and passion for her craft. Please don’t let the haters take away from your beauty craft. I have watched most of your videos and have found that you are true to yourself and your creative gift. Please keep up the amazing work and videos.

You dont suck, you are a very good artist and I am very pleased to see your return (I had been wondering if you were going to return)

[GaisaSanktejo]

Whoever said you weren't a good blacksmith is an idiot, you're an excellent blacksmith and your projects are works of art. VERY nice work!

[johneriksen]

There are many less deserving than you. Making the blade is not where your artistry stops. Layout designs, then the handle and then the sheaths are all proof of that. Thanks for making another forging video.

[bryanowens]

My father-in-law called me this morning to tell me about this channel and this was the first video I watched. Beautiful craftsmanship.

[Dan_Kornfeld]

The finished blade looks brilliant! It gives off the impression that it has an ancient story to tell. A very worthy blade/tool. Keep doing what you do 👍‼️

[georgebrett]

Thank you for sticking it lut for all of us that adore your work milady!!! Youre awesome!!!

[rupertklyne]

I watch a lot of videos of metal workers ( blacksmiths) in my time and your work is amazing.

[blugoose]

Most of the time those that judge negatively, are jealous of your talent. Hell, I'm jealous of your talent. I've only just discovered you and have only seen a couple episodes but know your are truly blessed. This piece you forged here is absolutely beautiful. Thank you and please continue to keep sharing.

[Kahoona]

Glad you came back, I know you didn’t go anywhere, but enjoy your designs and your ability to get it done, your friend, keep the videos coming.

[glennmorehead]

I don't know why anyone would put you down I love watching your craftsmanship you're way above my level in this field keep up the good work and don't pay any attention to the

[LazyDaze]

The reason it came back so easily is because instead of doing it for social media...you did it for you.

[kevinorr]

You are great and very talented. I also am a knife maker and you have no reason to listen to the idiots on social media that just like to troll. Keep up the love you have for this craft
