This a place to collect some essays and discussion about the SCA, making replicas of medieval armour and other artifacts, training fighters, and recruiting new people for the SCA, the Barony of Bryn Gwlad and the Bryn Gwlad War Company. Feel free to provide feedback and suggestions about project designs and techniques. I also plan to share tips and suggestions for others who may find themselves on a similar quest.
