Hey folks,
I have finally gotten off my lazy duff and set up a class at Pennsic this year. ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s called Ã¢â‚¬Å“How to arm like your personaÃ¢â‚¬Â

Chris,

Based on the most prevalent armour examples you have displayed over the years, I would do a class on how to make CORRECT looking splinted armour using the materials you mentioned. I think that would have a big immediate impact.

More than anything, folks need to crack open a book before they start building. A bibliography would do wonders. Heck, even making sure folks open just "Arms and Armour of the Medieval Knight" by Edge and Paddock would go a long way. It baffles me that anyone would skip the looking at armour porn stage.
