Hello, just joined the forum and thought I'd post an introduction.
I've been a fan of knights, weapons, armor, and dragons since I was a little boy. I became a fan of fair maidens a bit later in life. I've tried my hand at making armor, and, it didn't go very well. I spent a season doing SCA heavy combat, but it seemed a bit "off" for what I was hoping for.
I've got a collection of mostly wall hangers, with some functional weapons. I'm working on finishing off a gothic harness that I started on last year, on fixing up my old SCA combat armor, and (very!) impatiently awaiting arrival of a 15th century-esque harness that I commissioned from Baron Alail; it should be done mid-to-late Jan 2011.
Seems there are quite a few members around Northern Virginia. I grew up there for 27 years before relocating just over the border, where houses are cheaper and taxes are lower. I still go down there a few days a week for work, though.
I think that should do it for a "brief" intro. Feel free to ask me any questions.
