The Rondel is finally finsihed!!! May 2007

What started life as a X-mas '06 gift, turned into a B-day '07 BELATED gift. But it is done. This rondel has a hand-forged blade, round brass cross guard and pommel. The handle is square and it alternates brass and horn. On the bottom the brass is cut out in a bat shape to show the horn under it. This really came out nice.

 
 

Valentine's Day 2007

These scissors were made for Steph for Valentine's day. They cut paper and when closed make a great dagger. The fit neatly into the hardend leather case.

 
 

Working on a Dirk. A lesson in tempering, which Mike had to learn the hard way. This almost finished blade ended up on the scrap heap.

 
 

Fully Armoured

Mike created a helm, Coat of Plates, arms and legs. All which have stood up to many full steel contact tourneys.
