  1. I'm at ETSU. I like that site a lot. I'll bookmark it and dig through it tomorrow. Thanks!!
  2. Thank you very much! I was afraid that bronze would be a bit pricey. Is there a metal with the same general density and weight? Perhaps a metal that will look somewhat like bronze or be coated to have a bronze appearance? Maybe copper?
  3. Hi guys, I just joined the forums in search of help/direction. Thanks for having me. In a few years I will graduate with my doctorate in Ancient History. Seeing as I will be teaching at a university, I've always liked the idea of having sets of armor and weaponry on hand to display, pertaining to the day's lecture. For example, if I'm teaching about the Peloponnesian War, I need want to bring a set of bronze Hoplite armor, hoplon shield, etc. While I understand the cost of such an extensive collection, I feel that it is important to have visual aids. Why look at a drawing of a Hoplite when you, the student, can put on his armor and feel the weight of it? I'm sure that experienced armorsmiths are few and far between. However, if there is anyone I could go to specifically to have armor crafted over the years, I would be greatly appreciatitive. I myself would love to learn to Smith, but I know that having the skill to create such items would take many years of practice, so I won't be able to walk in and slap some armor together. I live in East Tennessee if that helps at all. tl;dr Who in the Southeast is a highly experienced armorsmith? Who near East Tennessee can I contact about an apprenticeship?
