Working on restoring some 14th century gear that went through a small (chemical/gas/lightning/shed) fire. I've ended up shortening the Thames falchion by a pretty significant amount to recover the balance point. The original must have been used by a ridiculously strong archer

Mucking about with a sword blank I purchased at a recent event. Planning to make the handle, pommel and cup hilt for it as well
