Re: sword project

I have used Mediaeval Miscellanea's Period Patterns for several projects and do not recommend using these. The fit and sizing is always off. The pattern and documentation looks great, but they are hard to follow and trace.

Always a wonderful time checking on his FB page. Bring a towel to clean the drool off the keyboard. Since his latest spat with FB TOS, he's more apt to post his latest offerings on a email message list.
