[TheForge] SCA? Sword making tools/ prints

Philip,

I found this on EBAY this morning.   I thought the variety of weapons and 
tools to make weapons  from the 1700s was pretty interesting.

The prints on Sword Making Prints shows quite a variety of 
medieval  weapons that would fit Philps  SCA group.

I thought the shoe page was kind of neat also.
