Woodworking February 16th

The woodworking guild will have a shop day on Sunday, February 16th from 10am to 2pm at Ishiyama’s house. Our spring project this year is improving everybody’s Pennsic through the glory of seating. We will be researching and recreating period seating furniture that is appropriate for our personas.

Calling all Cooks, Event Stewards, and Activity Coordinators!

Do you know that the Debatable Lands has a larder? Do you know what is in the larder? Now’s your chance to provide your thoughts on the top needs for the coming year!

Please take the short survey by clicking on the link below (the survey includes a link to the current larder inventory so you can see what we already have):

The survey will be open through Friday, February 21st. Based on your responses we’ll work to address the top needs in the coming year.

Thank you for your ideas to make your larder the best in the Known World!

In Service,

Woodworking January 19th

The next Woodworking Guild shop day will be on Sunday, January 19th, from 10am to 2pm. This is the day after Baronial 12th Night. The shop day will be held at Ishiyama’s home (1105 Shady Avenue, 15232).

The current plan is to spend multiple shop days this spring working on projects that take longer than 4 hours. You can work on whatever you want, but the main purpose is for us to work together making things to sit upon. Chairs! Stools! Benches! Sturdy boxes! We’ll all help out with research, planning, shopping for wood, and technically tricky bits. For this first workshop, you don’t need to bring anything other than your dreams of a persona-appropriate period-looking thing.

The hope is that we can all get something done by Pennsic, and then we can all sit at the Barony meeting on something other than a folding chair, looking awesome.
