 Luxury Real Estate: This is not a replica or a structure reminiscent of another era. This is a bona fide castle that can be traced back to the Crusades and King Richard the Lionhearted. It is located approximately 215 miles south of Paris in the Liomousin region in Haute-Vienne.
The French Ministry of Culture has recognized this property, known as le chateau de Montbrun, as a protected monument since 1947. This historical residence was built in the 11th century and was the property of both England and France during the Hundred Years'War. Aside from the tower being made round during a robust rebuilding period during the 15th century, the last major makeover occurred in the mid-1960s.
However, the dwelling is quite contemporary even with its stone exterior and interior throughout. There is a house chapel, a cinema, and a billiard room along with 15 guestrooms, a library, a music room, plenty of office space and staffing quarters.
There also is a tavern on the grounds as well as that is fit for both kings and queens. |

 Everyone that has made chain maile understands the pain of the time consuming process of cutting the individual links. Cutting Coils Flush and Easy details a very, very simple method of cutting individual links in a fairly quick and painless fashion that will also leave a smooth cut finish. Honestly, after reading this article, it was a palm to forehead moment.

The site has been migrated to a UNIX server. While the site is mostly functional, and should run a bit faster, there are going to be issues as certain applications may not be working as they used to. If you come upon a page that is not functioning (and you will know immediately) please post the link to the article discussion of this very topic so I may rectify the problem.
Thanks for your patience, especially the last week since everything has been turned on its head causing all kinds of headaches... especially for me, the site admin. |

 I have a love for fire and I am constantly looking for ways to contain it, especially in a manner that will affect a medieval feel to it. I have built firepots and torches in the past, but I am always looking for something that can be produced quickly and cheaply. There is one article that I found on the Internet that described how to make a homemade Tiki using empty break fluid cans and a little sheet metal. However, purchasing the empty cans as the author described became problematic as finding empty and unused cans such as these are difficult if impossible to find. However, a quick search on the Dollar Tree website yielded that the sell Tiki Torches for $1 each. The price on these is great as not only do you receive the canister, but also the cap with hole and wick included. Unfortunately, the only problem with these particular torches is that they are about half the size of a standard Tiki Brand torch. This article details how to build a medieval style cage to hold the smaller tiki canister, while part 2 will detail how to build a cage for the larger Tiki Brand canister.

I found this forum posting about making a homemade Sandbag. These are important tools if doing sheet metal forming, especially in steel. Here is the original posting.
