I think it would've been nice if there had been a recipe for Brimestone. Ric F. was named in a recent post. When I saw the knife master pouring the Brimstone; I was immediately reminded of his Cutlers Resin. Not exactly reminded in the sense of full recollection- I do remember frankensese (sp?) and iron filings.
I do think it is a hot-tip to use a red hot tip on the tang to punch through the birch bark hilt demonstrated. As well, when the seating of the pommel is shown, imho, it shows ( as I have stated previously) that the use of spacers or other hilt fittings were driven down to act as clamps. Also of note is the use of a knife and files to shape the hilt.
A studied smith would likely have some issues with terminology used in the forging, HT segment, but I am tending toward a problematic issue with translation. Or it could be a matter of rural terminology not matching exactly with our bookish studies.
I'm going to look for the second episode. Hope you have opinions to share
