We were the last filming session before the judges got a two week break. That had been filming straight for 45 days. They hung out with us for 30 min then took off. I was hoping to go grab a beer or two with them later.
day 1: Pick up at hotel about 7 am. Safety briefing and set tour after initial interview and schedule briefing. Then film us walking out on set to forging stations, back to ready room, back out for filming of "big reveal of what we'll be doing". Back to ready room for explanation of rules, signing of rule acknowledgement, then back out to film design period. Break for late lunch then go out and film round one. Come back for interviews. Back to hotel about 7:30 pm.
Day 2: Get back into dirty clothes, get dirt make up applied, schedule briefing, sit around and wait, finally out for first elimination. Back to ready room, explanation of round two rules, sit around and wait some more, lunch then round two. More interviews, etc, etc.
Day 3: Blade testing done first part of morning, Alf kicked off for not following rules that were explained at least four times. Lunch, then reveal of final round requirements, rules briefing/signing on final round requirements. More interviews, back to hotel by 6.
Fly home following morning with completely screwball flight schedule arranged by set staff. Following day film crew arrives at house and we start the home shop portion. I box up item at the end of that and film crew ships it back. They gave us some metal plus a $200 spending allowance to create final item.
Fly back two weeks later and film final round. We actually had a half day to go hand out in NY this trip!
We were original episode 13 set to air June 25th. They kept altering air dates and schedule and added in mid-season break so we got changed to episode 15 and aired Aug 8. My check got mailed the morning after it aired. Jason got his weapon retuned that week as well. Runner up gets weapon back now. They keep everything else.
That's pretty much it in a nut shell!
Yes, even Hensley's head would not stand up to the scissor! Is this JW?
