Gentle galoots and good gentles!
In three weeks from tomorrow I will be heading to Pennsic (part of
opening setup) in Butler county PA (www.pennsicwar.org) For those who
are newer hearabouts, this is a two weeks camping in pre-1600 clothes
medieval recreation event, and one of the things that some of us
recreate is woodworking, as in strict galooting is totally period.
I am pleased to announce that not only I, but Darrel LaRue and also
galoot SWMBO Kathy (and adult kidz), Ken Wright, my friend from church
Sigrithr who built the chest we bragged on last year, and new for the
first time elfwrangler John Leyden will all be camping with the
industrious barony of Thescorre on N08 on Chandler, the main drag uphill
to the parking lot. Any other galoots present are welcome to drop by
and say hi.
Traditionally Monday is baronial court and Tuesday is kingdom court, but
Monday afternoon Ken and I will be trying the experiment; can we teach 4
students in three hours how to make the parts for a camp seat in the
form of a 6 board chest, and then assemble the parts? Wednesday
afternoon will be open shop for all curious visitors, come and go as you
please. Darrell will be particularly busy since he will be involved in
a thrown weapons (anything pointy) tournament and he also has been asked
to compete in the Arts and Sciences War Point (competing sides put up
their best artisans, counts the same as a battle).
If you are on site, come on by!
