Arts & Sciences

In general, people can ask me about the following subjects and I will answer their questions without making a complete fool of myself.

Armoring
Having been apprenticed to a Master armorer for a little while I have a bit of knowledge on how to do this. I have built most of my own armor.

Leather Work
Most people know me for making shoes, but I also know how to engrave and emboss, cuir-bouilli and sew all sorts of leather projects.

Blacksmithing
I used to have a forge in the States and while I certainly don't know a lot about it I have made a couple of forge welds and made the average items one would expect, like candle stands, tent stakes etc.

Woodworking
This I have done for quite some time, building most medieval furniture, with my most recent project having been a 14th century crib for our baby.

Tent Making
We made our own 14th century pavilion, based on the design from Master Dafydd ap Gwystl, which is detailed on Master Terafan Greydragon's website. See pictures of our tent.

Knot Work
I like knots. I enjoy being able to use the correct knot for the correct purpose in camp. So if you'd like to do the same, please ask.

Casting
I have done quite a bit of pewter casting and can certainly help there. As example may serve my plaquet belt.

Minor topics are calligraphy, sewing, 14th century clothing, Landsknecht garb.
