Swords of the Rings

In another coup for the podcast, David and Ryan are joined by Weta mastersmith Peter Lyon who fabricated all the swords for the greatest fantasy trilogy of our time. Peter takes the guys through his early days as a medieval reenactor and film fan in far-flung, pre-internet New Zealand and talks about making armor and swords for practical use, and then that inconceivable day when his phone rang he found the great Richard Taylor on the other end, changing the course of his life forever.
