I am deeply involved in my regular job, a head cold that is slowly leaving and making a new set of leg armour for myself.

The next on the list are-

Simple stuff-
Hrolf
Barnet

Elaborate-
Eirik
Stephen

I am also putting coat after coat of epoxy on 15 different shields.

I cannot recommend Vitus' ecranche shields for jousting (SCA, Balsa, or even Heavy Armour styles), these things are nearly indestructable. If you are even giving the tiniest thought to jousting - get one of these TODAY!

Today I laid epoxy on a number of heaters of various sizes.
I also shaped and stained all the hafts to the PILE of axes I just sold.

Right now I am forced to devote each day to different work. However, I can lay epoxy every day- it's the last thing I do before I close up shop. There are about 15 shields that are going to be finished pretty much all at once. I am working around my real job, which is reallly sporadic.

I will need reminders from people who paid for paint jobs and strapping etc.

Day1- Weapons
Day2- Sewing
Day3- Painting
Day4- Weapons
Day5- Sewing
Day6- Painting
