A bronze sword of giant-slaying lore that I forged, ground, and carved years ago for a film production, wielded and showcased by my beautiful girlfriend Chloe Bensinger. Still to this day it’s one of my favorite pieces! #swords #bladesmithing #fineart #metalsmithing #fantasyart

You have not seen what I have seen...for I have seen the first two episodes of #RingsOfPower Season 3, and it's just as bad you expected. Overwrought dialogue, relentless melodrama, and a complete disregard for the source material. Astonishingly derivative and painfully dull.

I think I figured out what Amazon is missing in Rings of Power. Someone should let the show-runners know that there was an incredible author that wrote some books which may help them out!

I very much enjoyed this conversation about Galahad and the grail with, surprisingly, a channel about video games. An interesting meeting of worlds! youtu.be/VTLH25Om5ik?is=i5Ce…

A mighty weapon is needed to slay behemoths - We have just the thing. Watch the swordsmith @Cedarlore bring Kragjaeger to life in the forge. And yes, it's very sharp.

I really genuinely wish that Rings Of Power was a good show and a faithful story of Middle-earth because I'd love a big-budget Tolkien series. But even one scene in and I'm just baffled by the choices.

I had the honor of taking a class from Professor Shippey back in 2014 on Beowulf through @SignumU and it was an absolute pleasure. Looking forward to this! A true scholar and gentleman he is. #Beowulf
A big announcement is coming soon! Get ready for more Beowulf + more Tom Shippey.
