Winter Market in Frederick MD...

[1stMate Matt]

I just got back from the Winter Market put on by Dave Mantz. I had a good time. Not too many people came out this year but it was still fun. I got a chance to touch base with the lovely people from Reconstructing History and a few fellow sword makers. That was fun. There were plenty of beautiful fire arms. I love the engraved muskets. I didn’t have much time to browse but I did get a chance to catch up with a lot of people. This is the last year that they will be having the event in that location and maybe ever. It all depends on if another place is available during that part of the year. I talked to Dave quite a bit about another he wants to put on in august and is looking anyone local to the PA area to be apart of it.

I myself only had a few small pieces on display. I have a pistol barrel that I hand fluted that I was showing off. Seems a lot of people are encouraging me to start doing more fire arms and I excited about doing just that.

I picked up some good material while I was there to make some slops out of. Sarah picked up some sweet vertically striped socks. Neat. I also grabbed some of the awesome honey on my way out of the door.

Anyone else make it out there from the pub ? Find anything cool? I know spending was tight for most people but more often then not the treasures that you find in a place like that are not costly.
