How Captain Hook's Hook Was Made by Hand

Adam finally visits the workshop of master blacksmith Tony Swatton, the creator of swords and props for hundreds of films and shows. Tony shares with Adam the story behind one of his most iconic builds: Captain Hook's handmade hook prop from the 1991 Steve Spielberg movie! There's so much more detail in this brilliant prop than we noticed on screen, and Tony walks Adam through how he built it over 35 years ago.
