why thank you Maril!<P>actually i haven't been far... just teaching myself how to make little chainmail for little warriors. Amazing how a 3/4 sleeve hauberk for a 13" tall fighter takes about 2700 rings -- i should probably put it on the postal scale at the office & see how much it really weighs (anything close to the 23# maildress that i borrowed for my Viking Night gig, and needed a chiropractor after wearing! Maybe a spinoff thread about armor is in order?)<P>Anybody know where i can get scaled-down sword letter openers? (LOTR knockoffs welcome esp. if they have more than Glamdring & Sting!) Museum Replicas seems to have discontinued their line... B( (will go check the knife shop at the Mall, but no high hopes, really)<P>s.t.
