So is anybody making any cool stuff at the moment?

:smiley:

Yes, I have been making a costume for three years now. It ran into a bump and I paused at a problem and havenā€™t taken it up again.

What is the bump?

Just a houppelande for my flatmate David. Itā€™s green. There are eight metres in the outer fabric alone (and itā€™s still not as bouffy as some of them were reputed to be).

Does anyone realise how hard it is to find visual references for 11th C Jewish folk? We eventually settled on the houppe as standard merchant gear, with a pointy yellow hat on top. Iā€™m still not entirely happy with the research/authenticity shtick.

There are about ten litres of spiced wine in my roomā€¦ Does that count?

And, making crossbow bolts (for SCA combat) from snapped arrows.

My next big projects will be an SCA basket-hilt sword, a glaive, one of these, and this.

Iā€™m making a space ship.

Iā€™m making something very large, not as large as a spaceship, but much larger than a person.

Oh shit.

Do you need a MIG welder?

Actually, you could make a very small spaceship, like the Saturn V landing capsule, that only had enough room to sit two people in two chairs with a bunch of buttons, dials and stuffā€¦
