Typical. Maybe we should all dress in our 1461 clothes, get together and play Call of Duty, or D&D, and film that!!

The video made of us in action at The Weald and Downland Living Museum (end Jan) for our Candlemas 1461 experience is going viral on YouTube. youtu.be/GGMSTGuOotg?... Hope you enjoy! Please do leave comments.

Lots of fun in Warwick last week as Henry 8

Today on the bench, my new Elizabethan rapier belt hanger, hand sewn in saddle stitch, with 10 holes per inch x 48 " x 2. Scalpel for scale. Also revisiting a very special old friend, refurbished and newly gilded.

Earlier this week, I had the enormous privilege and a whole lotta fun portraying big bad 'enery the 8th in Warwick for a photo shoot. With special thanks to Tabitha Boydell and all the photographers who made the day such fun.

All my own work. 12th C handwritten style Breviary on pergamenata, Hand sewn and bound in oak boards with leather cover

Next video. Napoleonic soldiers firing a musket volley in Leatherhead, in early December 2024, as part of a Regency Christmas event

Thought I'd share some video content today of some recent projects. Let's start with a refurbishment of my favourite sword, stripped, polished, and rebuilt by Matt Lewis, with some brazing by Stui Duncombe to repair a crack in the cross guard. Regilded by MMF. Original is in the Royal Armouries.

Preparing for an outing tomorrow as our most famous, or more correctly, infamous monarch, Henry VIII
