Jon I totally agree with what you are saying. I for one will attend such classes and look forward to them. I also think that teaching from manuals is a great idea. Not sure if enough people have access to them and the understanding right now, but it will start happening in the future. I am not sold ...

Jester you and I must travel in different groups because most those I know do not feel this way. Last I heard the SEM has allowed historical studies, even with rebatted steel at half speed, in class room enviroment. I think it is pretty obvious why greater than full speed is allowed at this time. So...

1) Because it is very hard to steer an aricraft carrier. 2) Because they don't have to. The SCA is a big behemoth that will take years to get to go in the direction of WMA. To expect them to adopt wholly new standards in less than 5 years is unrealistic. Besides, you are in a way wrong for malignin...

I usually use Gorilla glue when curving a shield but I have had problems with the expansion splitting the wood on occasion.

Folks things are moving. It is not going to happen over night. Take it from a guy who has been around the SCA for 20 plus years, we are moving quickly these days.
