What we have here.....

Post by Willrett »

I wanted to start a thread (sticky maybe) of all the skills we currently have and the people who practice them. I would then like to put them all together for everyone to have kinda of a cheat sheet list for reference since I think its hard to keep track of. So just post what you currently do and what you would like to do at some point.

We currently have: Horse people (work with, ride, train, help with name please :lol: ), blacksmiths, bladesmiths, bowyers, arrowmakers (fletchers), Leather workers, armor makers, Hunters/hawkers, clothing makers, ect...

Please help me with the correct titles and any other errors I made, I have up all night with a really bad migraine so everything on the screen is fuzzy.

Currently I fall under (barely) Leather worker, scabbard maker (forgot that one), and starting arrow making when I get feathers.

I hope to be a hunter and a bow maker by the end of the year. And if we move I would like to start casting bronze.

Ah, let us see.

Blacksmith, Bladesmith, Toolsmith, Redsmith, Leatherworker, Seamstress, Huntress, Fletcher, Armorer, Cordwainer, Tablet Weaver, a bit of an Herbalist, Gardener, and would-be Bowyer. Working on Knitting, Spinning, and full scale Weaving on a floor loom.

That would do to be getting on with I guess.

great thanks I think I will put toolsmith with blacksmith and make a comment. and I'm going to put seamstress, knitting, spinning, weaving, and tailoring under one catagory with each listed under the comments. I am putting this all in excel.

Nice idea, Will. Especially having it in excel...could be screen-shotted and posted as a pic to form a quick reference for people who haven't been around this fun lot long enough to know who does what.

Leatherworking, super-basic clothing making, archery/equipment, armoring, Falconry...and that's about it on my end.

Currently.. Weaving, Card weaving, bookbinding, leather work.

I also crochet. It's not considered period but hey, this is fantasy so it works hehe. I do some minor wood work as well.

You can add brewing to mine as well; I've made some very nice mead and methiglin, although it's been quite a while.
