Oh, yes. Every video starts with "I've been a blacksmith armorer for 30 years".
Even if he then continues with "I've made weapons for over 200 feature films", which then I take as an admittance that he's a glorified propmaker.

The thing that gets me, though, is that even a PROPMAKER, if he knows the area that he makes props in, wouldn't say and do the sort of idiotic things he does.

Beyond this, he is utterly lazy and incompetent in quite a few of the videos, making things, and being OH so proud, of something that looks like hacked-together shit that not even an apprentice would be satisfied with.

As an example of what he seems to be satisfied with letting out there:
Ugly-ass piece Be warned, large pic.
