James's Past Projects List

I am keeping a tally of all the projects I make/have made for the living history groups I am in and the SCA as best I can. I also sell items from time to time and not all make the list and I sometimes forget items, this is a list of what I can remember. This list only goes back to Summer 2004; I started the SCA in 2002 and had done another group starting in 2000.
