    There’s some good content on youtube, which has been severely under-promoted. Let’s use this post as a free zone for promoting any podcasts or youtube channels that you like, which the rest of us probably have not heard of.

    Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense

    I learned of the Order of the Garter in Canterbury Cathedral, when I was a kid. I think the general awesomeness of Edward (AKA: “The Black Prince”)s armor.

    A WIP

    This is a dagger named “Beast Mode.” It’s not quite finished, yet, but it’s close. The handle’s done and that was the hard part.
