| From the EditorThis is an entirely new presentation for the arms and armour section, hopefully one that will breathe renewed life into this neglected corner of the KCT site. Our plans for this section are ambitious; we’re working on a “how to” for making riveted mail from interior retaining rings, offering a free listing for armourers with fine pieces to sell, designing a “knight of the month”, and implementing a “sources” page.This section is meant not only for armourers, but for anyone interested in the equipment needed to fight in a medieval style–equipment that can include clothing, shields, shoes, and the like. Brian’s “Techniques of Medieval Armour Reproduction” will be out September 1st; published by Paladin Press. It promises to be unique book the field, one that we hope will provide guidance for novice and intermediate armourers as well as interesting material for non-craft oriented students of arms and armour. |
