Rabid builder type that jumps from project to project. Loves woodturning, Medieval mechanisms, and everything that has moving parts. Gadgets, Clocks and Chemistry Rules! Shown a big red button labeled "Do Not Push ~ Danger", would have to be restrained from pushing said button. 
Soooo. Months and months ago at the last Tir Righ Coronet tourney held at the Albion fairgrounds, Viscountess Safiye al-Konstantiniyye and myself decided to set up a Turkish/middle eastern happy land. For lack of a better name we decided to call it WahaVahaBrouhaha. Between the two of us we managed to completely enclose a large picnic structure [...]
Hello all, I am back from a few months break from blogging. It was good to have a rest, and not worry about trying to document all the stuff I was doing. Well the hiatus is over, and its time to start blogging again. There will be a few old posts that will be posted soon, [...]

I was able to day trip earlier this year to the Barony of Seagirt’s annual Daffodil tourney. I posted about the event, but have had this post sitting in the draft folder for months. Its just a series of images of some of the art the Seagirtians had kicking around the site. I had a [...]
