Finally found the Armorer's

Hey gang,

I haven't had the chance to do any observations as yet but I was able to go to a heavy fighter practice today and meet with Sir Morgan. He makes armor and weapons full time for re-enactors and I've set up all this next week to go sit with him in his shop and find out what he does and why he does it.

I've also discovered that blacksmithing isn't really the same as armorsmithing so my topic may be getting altered slightly.

That's really all I've got for now, but I will post my first observations either tomorrow or Tuesday. He has a weekly get together at his house to work on armor and just generally be a guys night in the garage that I've been invited to. I'm going to take my armor over and let him and his friends make any suggestions for changes.

Ok, enough rambling.......stay tuned......
