The Creation of a Turret Clock

Visited the Old City Park in Dallas yesterday.  It was fun hanging out and watching someone else work.  I did get to see the early stages of a bowie knife being made.  Nothing new, just interesting to watch.

I may have to try and make a few quick knives or daggers for the SCA.  I would use traditional techniques as opposed to the usual SCA practice of grinding knives to shape.  Somewhere down the road, I would not mind getting into making traditional weaponry.  Doing pattern welded swords could be fun (mistakenly called Damascus by many people).
