Re: Hussar wings in SCA combat
Okay, I am retired from fighting, but I do belong to a Hussar reenactment group (outside the SCA). I tried on one of the cuirasses with wings out of curiousity - and Jester is right - the kind of bladework we do in the SCA is going to be COMPLETELY FUCKED up and hampered by the wings.

Re: Woodworking techniques for 14-1500 Turkey
...also bending a hoop can be as simple as just using a couple of good C-clamps (I have done so for both cold- and steamed hoops) - especially if it's a one-off project.
A friend who makes frame drums professionally has several jigs that he uses, but used C-clamps when he started out.
Good luck!

Lute staves tend to be quite a bit thinner than drum hoops, though - 2-3 mm compared to 6-9 for drum hoops. Yeah.. drum/tambourine/whatever hoops are more the thickness of sound boards, rather than body side/backs. I still think, a slipglue form (using hide glue) of wood A on the outside and wood B...
