I've got to agree, from what I've seen, Gunthar. While I do disagree
with Wanda on the garage shelters, having weathered out a couple of
Pennsic blowhards in mine, properly staked, of course,, they really
aren't usually as aggressive as they appeared at that point. I didn't
get a single complaint when I was discussing turning a modern canvas
tarp into a wedge tent, although admitedly I didn't get any
suggestions as to a paint I could use to decorate it a bit. Think I'm
going to try cheapy Walmart spray paint, see how that works.

Meantime, today I picked up a wooden vise that, if not provably
period, will at least look good AND be functional with the period
style smithy I'm trying to put together. Might still put a green belt
on it, so everybody will know it's my apprentice ;-)

Hey, no reason we have to take ourselves TOO seriously ;-)
