years ago, when i was really active in the SCA (i did 13th century scotland) i had both an authentic Dubh and a Claymore made in the same style. the place i was living right before i moved here was robbed and i lost ALL of my stuff including both the dagger and sword AND my polished steel/lacquered leather armor for me and my horse. i have been thinking about getting back into it in a smaller way and i'm wondering if, maybe, someone here works for or IS an armorer that can do a nice heavy Claymore, in trade for bike parts or maybe my skills as a certified BMW and modern Triumph tech? i also have a couple more guitars i'm letting go, maybe you'd like to have an electric 12 string? this is not a right now kind of thing but something i'd eventually like to start doing in 2010. i actually know how to make my own swords and knives but i dont have the tools anymore (one of the needed things is a 48" long propane or coal fired forge)
