Many happy returns!

Very nicely done!

Very nicely done. Manveruon has done a few pouches and things with that closure system, and has said nothing but good things about it...I expect you'll enjoy using this for years!

SO MUCH GOOD going on here! I don't know the period extensively, so I'm going to pass on commenting on minutia, but I will say that it looks very cohesive, culturally relevant, and pretty much exactly what I'd expect to run into in a place with mixed races like Bree.

It certainly eliminates "that one guy" who isn't in any of the photos!

Must be nice to be blessed with Numenorean heritage!

For years, I just carried a smaller digital camera with a 10-second timer and would jam it into a low crotch in a tree or balance it on a rock until the shot I wanted was framed right, and then go run in front of it to insert myself into the frame. Still works, but a tiny tripod makes an enormous di...

Very nice! Looks like a great time out!

Welcome! Come on out of those shadows!

Thanks for the introduction; enjoy your stay!

Nice to see you, Siani! Looking forward to seeing this progress...I'd particularly e enjoy some photos of your bowstrings to compare to work I've done in the past for educational purposes.

I am curious about the traction with turnshoes. Through my reading of the forum, I've noticed that with turnshoes, people have issue with hills, grass, and other slick surfaces. With the traction noted in the issue, is there a special trick or way to get the soles a little less slippery? I've alway...

Ooh! Ooh! My dear Greg, would you be so kind as to share your hard-won secrets with us? I should be ever so grateful, and endeavor to be half so well shod as yourself. :mrgreen: WOW. That's laying it on pretty thick. I'll have to gather some notes...I'm actually in the process of making some new bo...

Happy Birthday!
