lol dude cant make a straight sword to save his life no wonder he can't afford the front wall of his house.

Absolutely flawless skin

Looks more like a Scabbard-Smith. 🤣

I don't see any indication of a forge. Looks like he is mostly cleaning, straightening, and sharpening based on the tools. But I am only the most amateur of metal workers and could be wrong.

I'm making a wild guess and assume there's a forge in the back of the house. Would kind of make sense, I wouldn't want to sit next to a fire polishing a blade given the choice to sit semi outside

Did you want the full over head blueprint of the location to know the picture isn't fake?

Please build a giant telescope, and then point it at a black hole about 60ly away, so the light from earth is bent back towards us. Then we can observe this photo being taken in real time. Well, I haven't done the math on the aperture required, but I'm presuming solar system scale telescope will work... Thx

Somehow I doubt that'll satisfy you.

I don't know why, but there's something cool about seeing swords and guns together, especially in a setting like this.

Uhhh you realize there are muskets hanging on the wall, right? I think its fair to say they don't just make swords :)
