Things Medieval
For Sale…
For a variety of reasons, including lack of storage space, I've decided to start discarding some of my re-enactment gear. You can find a list of items over at the For Sale page.
History…
Over the years, I have constructed a wide variety of artefacts for Medieval and Renaissance Living History, often on a commission basis. I worked primarily in wood, fabric and leather, and was open to assisting with drafting patterns and designs, and fabricating late period men’s garments.
Alas, my work situation has evolved to the point where it is not feasible for me to offer assistance on a commercial basis, and I will restrict myself to making things for myself, and my friends as gifts.

Organisations and activities
I have been involved with living history since 1996 in one form or another, beginning initially with the late-14th century group Knights Order of Lion Rampant before joining Richard IIIrd Society Queensland and moving into late-15th century Burgundian with The Sable Rose. I have dabbled in dark-age living history, and will continue this as a side activity as appropriate. I spent some time with Collegium in Armis, and have been a very active contributor to the organisation of the Abbey Medieval Tournament.
For the past few years I have been concentrating almost exclusively on learning renaissance fencing based on the works of Thibault with Prima Spada.

Galleries
Unfortunately I have very few good photos from my various living history activities, so far. It’s almost impossible to organise shots myself on the day, and I find that memers of the public seldom, if ever, send shots even in this age of digital photography. So I apologise for the poor quality of a lot of the early shots, and hope to follow them up later with a better set of staged shots.
