Re: What's everyone working on?

One of the good things about missing a few weeks on the forums is you come back to so many finished projects. It's very inspiring. Manv.... just stop it already mate, I'm tired of you shaming me with the quality of your work. Every time I see you've made something it's like you're a player in chara...

Excellent tip, thank you!

Re: Matuls wool "medieval bushcraft" tarp

Wow! Very cool option there! I love the idea, overall, but I’m definitely curious to know what happens when it does get soaked. I’m also curious to know what the overall weight difference is between the two.

Re: More on woolen thread

Impressive!! I bought some wool thread a while back with the intention of using it to hand-stitch visible portions of a new cloak, but in the end I opted not to use it because it was surprisingly weak and I was worried it would break while I was sewing (to say nothing of the longevity of the final g...

Re: Wrap Pants

I’ve always shied away from this style because, to me, pants like this read as kinda’ “Ren Faire Uniform.” But I admit that lately I’ve been toying with the idea of adapting a wrap-pants pattern for use as braies/underwear. Seems like it would achieve a similar look to how a lot of linen braies were...

Re: Future of the Wiki

I came to the forum, I think, before the wiki was a thing, but I’ve always thought the wiki was a great idea, just never fully realized. Personally, I think it would be great if we could have maybe a person or small team devoted specifically to updating the wiki periodically with new information fro...

Re: What's everyone working on?

Very cool guys! Mostly back to mending here... darning lots of socks. :) But I've been looking at a couple old old projects that I think need to get actually wrapped up soon. I put off doing the finish dye on the penner case I received from Taurinor a couple Yules ago because I wasn't sure how to p...

Re: What's everyone working on?

I was bored yesterday so I made a pouch from my leather scraps bin. I love making pouches like this. No pattern. Just digging through scraps and finding what kinda fits together with minimal cutting/waste. I've got a lap desk, so just sitting in front of the TV, watching Star Trek, cutting and stit...

Re: FINALLY Fleshing Out a Persona

Just had a idea on this. Manwe is the direct analog to Michael the Archangel in Middle Earth. (Leader of the host of Heaven, promoted after the former highest fell and became the primary antagonist) I don't think there is any tradition to take the direct name from a Vala, but what about some form o...
