Received my justaucorps made by Mr. McMac. Fine workmanship as always. And he was great in getting it to me in time for an event even when his sewing machine was broken. I highly recommend him!
Usually better to wait until everyone has received their cards from Michael. That way we can all be surprised with what we receive. But Yes, after that it is great to share.
My son and I practice with wood swords and LARP (foam covered PVC pipe) all the time. Now he wants a steel one because it isn't sharp and he likes the sound. I think I would end up getting hurt somewhere alone the line.
