[Philippa Alderton]

Luveday published this interesting URL on MK Cooks
List, and I'm passing it along with my comments.

If you want to see some of the implements they used,

I'm signed up to reproduce the griddle for the museum
collection, and I'm
going to be making two copies of the grill for my own
purposes- one out of
mild steel for practice and use, and one out of pure
iron for A & S.

It's an interesting project, done mostly by mundane
smiths, although the
chest was reproduced by a Laurel out in Colorado
(absolutely beautiful
job!!!) and a couple other pieces were done by closet
SCAdians ;-)
