Hello!!  An ujhpdate:

A lot has been happening.. Sue had her first surgery, it was a bit more involved than was expected but she is doing well so far. She will need at least one more surgery to correct the problems she is having. I wish to thank everyone who wrote in  support of what she is going through...THANK YOU!!  

I have been so busy with helping and tending that some things have been placed on hold...Everyone that have orders that are awaiting shipping :..those will be going out this week and tracking numbers will be sent as soon as they are out the door. THANK YOU for your patience...

What is happening..Book IV is getting closer to completion. I am working on the foundry sections at the moment...making crucibles for both wootz production and casting Cu alloys and the like...

Also in the next 24 to 36 hours I will be posting another Japanese style sword mounted in grey and black. This is one of the last "left overs" I did for research for book IV's sections on Japanese style blades....As soon as it is posted I will place notice here.

Our medical sale is still ongoing and will continue until this surgical treatments are complete. New pieces will be posted as they are finished along with the backorders I am currently  working on. So please stop by every now and then to see what's new...

In closing..thank you all once again...
