The South Tower wall of shame!  Here is a little pastiche of all the stuff we have been up to in the last few months. 
HERALDRY HERE ON YER LEFT IS THE STUFF WE MADE FOR RIDEAU HALL. HERE BE A COUPLE OF THE GOOD OLE BOYS.  YOU HAD TO HAVE A BEARD TO SIT THERE, AND THAT FELLOW IS GETTING SEND OFF CHAINMAIL
 
HERE WE HAVE A PIC OF OUR LITTLE SHACK IN MILTON, AT THE ONTARIO RENNAISSANCE FESTIVAL.  MORE WORK THAN IT LOOKS, AND IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF WORK!  IT IS OUR HOME DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS.  BE THERE!
 

Now, some of the people who are important to the venture.  I think they will hurt me when they see their pictures up here!

One of the nicer people I have ever had working here at the South Tower....this is Darra, and she is one of the best armourer/blacksmiths I have ever had.  Here she is attacking Jean with a spoon,( I know, because it hurts more...grin!)  A ray of sunshine for sure!!!

And of course, the faithful Guard Dog, Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester.  We call him Dude for short, and because the short form of "Dudley" is not "Dud", but "Dude".

This is an awesome pic of me and Jean showing off in the sword handling class.  I think Jean had made every piece of armour in this picture...my shirt, and his own chain mail shirt and Japanese hauberk.
    This pic was taken at Algonquin College in 2003.  In  back are two of the many students we have.

This  snap was taken in 2001, and shows the front of the big sales booth in Milton.  You can see in this scale just how incredibly big those beams are!  (And just how cute Brenda is!)

And here is me in the shop.  Working over the "wooden anvil", making up a single piece breastplate.  You can see how crowded things can get. Winter 2001.

In 2001, JoAnne just could not leave that handsome Matt guy alone, so she let him chase her until she caught him.  I figured as long as I had red heads on my deck, I may as well bow to necessity and employ them both.  Here they are posing with Carol, who fits into my chain mail halter top with no trouble at all.  Look closely at JoAnne's horns...I don't think she is quite all from this world....

I like this pic of Tom and Ursula Kaczor.  They re-furbish antique swords, and I am happy to sell them.  Mind you, I think I have bought as many for myself as I have sold to other people.  Awfully nice stuff!

Now some of the places we have been.

The great scene from "I Hate Hamlet with the ghost of John Barrymore on the stairs.  My armour is in the background.  Photo courtesy of Mark Ingram, executive producer of Rogue and Peasant Theatre in Kingston, Ontario.  No, that is NOT me in the little black dress!!!!  I love the blue light glinting off the armour!
 

2002 at the Toronto Trek.  That's Darrel in the star fleet uniform.
