The recent bank-holiday weekend saw me attending this years Outlore (see A visit to outlore 2007) And a fine event it was too. This year the atmosphere was even better than last year. I took my son along and he had a fantastic time. In the couple of weeks before the event I made him a new shield and sword. I didn’t take photos of the whole process but did when I had finished.
The sword was a bit of a rushed job. I removed the latex off of an old sword and cut down the foam and core of the blade and added a new hilt, handle and pommel. It turned out ok but I think the hilt is a little on the wide side. The important thing is though, that my son thinks they are great.
