I have to tell you that If I was your husband, I'd have brought a balloon filled with helium and talked to you that way for the first time. But hey, that's just me. This is very cool, Science the way it was meant to be!

As the son of a man who helped liberate Bergen-Belsen, tell him from me, thank you! My father passed away in 1986 of a massive heart attack, still, it took him two days to die. Too stubborn to let go I guess. We need more like him and like your Grandfather. I really have no questions, just a heartfelt "Thank you sir".

You know, I thought of that too. Apparently not. The sound is completely different. As for why soldiers (and others, let's fact it, police, firefighters, EMS members get it too) with PTSD, it's my way of giving them something to think about. As one student put it; Some way to turn off that movie in my head. Many of them find concentrating on something helps a great deal. And you MUST concentrate with a yellow-hot piece of steel in your hand.

Myself? I'd have to say it was this one; Imgur

I made it for my wife last mothers day. It's my own design and I think it turned out quite well.

My skill level- my teacher, puts me at the Journeyman or better. I'm not quite at the Master level yet, but close. I'm designing my 'masterpiece' (yes, that's where the word comes from) and once it's done, he will evaluate it, and give me a thumbs up or down.

Iron daggars? Must be a video game reference...

I have and do make knives, arrowheads, spearheads and even a warhammer. It's not my favorite thing, but it's fun to make things like that for an afternoon.
