Damn--HOW could I forget--FLY FISHING and getting new tattoos--but NEVER at the same time ;-)

My two biggest:

I am the Kilted Blacksmith, after all (Though I'm wearing jeans in two of these).
My shop at home


Visiting a shop in Escanaba


And medieval armour and armouring. It's what I hope to continue studying here. Not just the forms of the armour and the development of shape, but how the armour was actually made, and the armourers themselves.



I have a related interest in medieval technology, especially medieval metalworking and horology.

I read a lot, and not just school work, though I read armour-related works for pleasure too. I like reading Tolkein, The Lord of the Rings is my favorite book (I'm re-reading it again right now), and his other works, not just related to Middle Earth.
