Armouring Workshop- Updated

Greetings all.

The armouring workshop will run over the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of March, and not the previously advertised weekend in February.

I will cover the basics such as:
Armour requirements, combat rules and regulations (Rules are Rules!)
Pattern sizing, taking measurements and pattern making.
Basic raising and sinking techniques, edge reinforcing.
Articulation and riveting
Tool modification
Safety in the workshop, aka 'how not to cut your fingers off'.

The intention is to leave the workshop with a couple of pieces of armour, ready for combat (we may even try them out if time permits).

The workshop is open to all interested parties.
Please bring along any hammers or tools that you think you might use, as there is a limited amount available for use.
Time will be from 10:30 till 20:00 on the Saturday and 10:30 to 16:00 on the Sunday.
Please bring your own drink and food for the workshop, a fire will be lit after the workshop on Saturday for those wanting to 'tan some meat'

Venue- Lord Rainers' abode
Directions available on request.
