Self taught. I was in a medieval recreation society, and needed armour for recreated battles. It had to be functional and look close to authentic. So I looked at a lot of pictures, and bashed steel plate until I got it right. Towards the end I got really into chain mail, and made samplers of chain mail all the way up to 12:1... I even visited the back rooms of the Royal Ontario Museum and examined in detail dozens of mail shirts, including one partial made for Henry VIII.

Watching YouTube is way faster for me. That kind of passion for me is hard to sustain. It’s the juice that keeps me going and when it’s gone it’s time for me to move on. I know it doesn’t seem the same but that’s how music was for me. And the greatest juice producer was in the right band as that sustained me. But they are close to impossible to form and then sustain as any group of ever changing humans is. After 40+yrs I think I’m done. So now on to metal illness which like learning music is a solitary pursuit in the learning stage and is so varied with an infinite directions to explore.Self taught.
