Thank you for the heads-up. I'll look out for it online after it's aired.

Your welcome. Yes, one source I know that often has Nova episodes, is YouTube.
See link below to you tube Nova full episode, "Secrets of the Viking Sword". Cool episode.

Thank you. I've just downloaded them both to watch later.
For those like me not in the USA, you'll need to use a VPN to watch the PBS website.

I DVR’d it but haven’t seen it. Was it good?

It was a pretty good show and impressive work. I question the shows assertion that the ability to recreate medieval armor has been "lost" until now. They made it seem like no one had ever been able to make armor like this until Rick and John did the show--those were the narrator's words, not Rick or John's. It seems like there are many excellent armorers who have not let this art die out.

For me, the most interesting part, was finding out that English armor and weapons iron ore came from Styria, Austria. There is still an active mine (Erzberg) there. Would be cool to have a medieval sword made from iron ore from there.
