Thank you!
This scabbard making process has slowed up a little bit in my shop, due to a long family crisis and retooling my shop. IN the next few days I will have pretty much everything in place to do everything "IN HOUSE." From sword making to Scabbard making, all of the parts. The only outside sources will be suppliers of raw materials.
I am now set up to cast Brass, Bronze, Silver and Gold. This will expand the reaches of my shop.
One of my aims is "Historical Accuracy." I know that this is not important to everyone and that I may tend to offend some with my ambitions. I will be as accurate as the Research materials I can obtain as well as, as far as my talent and craftsmanship can take me.
A few of the reasons I "try" (I won't always get it right...) to make things historically accurate is because which would you rather have, a "Real" $100.00 bill or a Counterfeit $100.00 bill when you go to deposit it at the bank?
So, now that I can make castings, I can expand the possibilities, even beyond swords and scabbards. Keep watching... this scabbard will be completed soon!

Sounds like we can continue to expect even more great stuff in the coming future. Can't wait to see it all.

Awesome. I, for one, am a maniac for historical accuracy. As soon as I get the funds, I plan on commissioning my dream gladius from you.
