It would be wonderful to get even a quarter of that number to be actively writing on the forum but I must admit that this has become as much a repository of knowledge and information, as it is an active club.

Wow, we could all do some "Ranger Caching" Rather than simple GeoCaching. My Brother in Law got me interested in GeoCaching, he is a truck driver and does it all around the country. I will have to get him involved with this as a hobby, it is so much more meaningful than picking up a little...

Welcome Ranger keep us posted and jump right in! I come from Long Island but went to school up in Wenham MA and MMA up in Castine ME. So I know and love your neck of the woods, unfortunately, I have been detailed to "Southern Ithilien" after the fall of Sauron, so I remain sweatingly yours...

Beautiful job sir! Where do you get your Briar?

No worries Taurinor! I have always felt you were great in stature and of good bearing. You are the type of man that a Dwarf doesn't mind looking up to!

And doing an absolutely Dwarven job of it I must say! I love your leatherwork! can't wait to see it finished. A little snippet about your jig would also be interesting. I see a tutorial on the horizon!

Merry Christmas and a Happy Yuletide to all the Free Peoples! As we remember family and friends or the sacrifices of our ancestors. we all look to the future with hope in our hearts for a better tomorrow!

Well he does have a Dwarven seax....

Glad to see you back on the project! I have gotten a new wind and inspiration to jump back and start quantifying my kit. I have an assemblage of items that have been considered my kit. But I think I will go back to the persona during the time period of the War of the Rings when he was stationed in t...

You betcha! Mithril was not the only metal we were able to manipulate! There are alloys aplenty though many are somewhat experimental, so are not as well known. (wink)

I have actually been working on my Thorin Raven pouch for a while and was rather disheartened by seeing this one when it popped up, but I think there will be a significant difference in our interpretations. Mine was to be part of the set I am making with the Goatskin haversack and the cup holder. Al...

That's wonderful I look forward to seeing them! What style are you planning on?

You are really rolling along there Sister! I am encouraged by your enthusiasm and love your interpretation. You are making me work on my kit again just to keep up!

BTW I am starting to make some new pipes, let me know what it is you are looking for, I would truly enjoy making some very custom pipes for my Folk at Merf! A Dwarven pipe and the Halfling's leaf is a match blessed by the Valar!
