I noticed two things immediately.  His shop is awesome and the besigews he’s made show incredible workmanship!   8)

I can't wait to see this project completed.  I hope he finds his injuries are completely healed and he's inspired to continue on after this project.

I'd love to see him team up with Toby Capwell again to make the Wars of the Roses 'English Style' armor that Toby's book is going to be on.

When I stumbled across his thread on Armor Archive I couldn't believe my eyes. I had to write something there to explain how it made me feel, I just hope it didn't come off as being overly sappy. For real though, it's something like the feeling of Rembrandt coming back to life for one more painting. And more than that, he's showing you with commentary and photos every step of his final master work. This is just an incredible opportunity.

Wow! Thats simply incredible! It's good to see that he doesn't want to leave his piece unfinished. I can't wait to see the finishing product!

Amazing. Good to see he is coming back to the world of armor.
I also like how he said "The armors condition is a reflection of my Own"

QFT!
Most honorable of him to pick his hammer back up and complete the project despite the pain and discomfort!  :)
