I was so excited when I heard about this, and I was planning to be there,but
I'm giving classes of my own at the Renaissance Symposium that weekend about

you'll be back some time in the future. Break a leg!

I've used my Viking with an eyelet plate to do lacing holes on a pourpoint
for holding armor (1380ish); it's worked fairly well though a few of the
