When Signing up for a workshop, It is important to know what your getting. Below are two swords, each one the template to be used in the workshop. The top most sword, is a level I sword, I made in a previous workshop. The bottom sword is a more complex, stronger, lighter and is wielded differently when in melee.

Students learn how to make a cross guard, pommel, and different gluing and shaving techniques.
