Finished the main machining on the big Viking tent fly. There are 4 little seams which would be improved by sewing, but are survivable if not (they still aren't finished on the big Viking tent...). What is left is 8 kick-arse eyelets of doom (needing harpoon needles and hands of steel), 2 top ties, and splicing the ropes onto the 8 eyelets of doom (which I can help with later).
But the big machining is done and the rest is worst case hand sewing that can be done at the event.
Last 3 wax tablets have been carved out. This gives me 12 tablet blanks or 6 pairs. Given there were requests for 2, I may want to cut up some more and continue carving tomorrow night and bring spare wood with me to CF. But that can also be worked on at the event (suspect most of the wax casting etc will be anyway...).
And cause everyone wants cool distractions while trying to work on CF stuff or when needing to work on anything else for that matter, check out this blog, as she posts and links to some very cool odd medieval stuff, including period manuscript info on faking jewels (including down the base "To make a window of goat-skin parchment which will appear to be real glass.") and a link to a sundial spoon.
