Stefan's Files for March

[Mark Harris]

A Blending of the Past and Present       

Here is the list of my featured SCA Rialto files for this month. I have 
files for all interests. If none of the files below interest you, ask for 
a copy of my complete file list. If you would like a copy of any of these 
files, just let me know. I can print them on paper for you, copy them 
to a computer disk or send them by email.

Those of you who have World-Wide-Web (WWW) access can get these files at:
http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/rialto/rialto.html, although it may be a week
or two before the newest files are online.

I am teaching a hands-on class on using carved soapstone molds to cast pewter
objects such as jewelry, pilgrim tokens and buttons at this year's Gulf
Wars. The class will be on Thursday and Friday at 1:00 pm. Those of you
who are 
interested in learning this medieval craft, might want to look at this file:

casting-msg            Casting pewter and other metals.

PS: I am thinking about renaming this file collection from the SCA 
Rialto Files to something else since it includes more than the Rialto
and it is at best only a selective archive of the Rialto. 

In addition to messages from the the Rialto (rec.org.sca) this set of 
files includes messages from the Ansteorra and Bryn Gwlad mail lists, 
the old fidonet Medieval echo, other maillists and newsgroups as well 
as articles submitted by their authors. Does anyone have any ideas? Is 
there a medieval word for a collection of manuscripts, encyclopedia or
collected works?
