Also, I'd love an authentic broadsword done with lapidary pre-forms or prismatic blade scraps purloined from Clark's pile of debitage...

WHAT!!! Where did you find this! Classic humor, baby!

I'm sorry, I just checked out the sites and...what can I say. He found his niche, and like many a fallen BYU grad student, has gone to the dark side of pseudoarchaeology. BOOYAH! Yeah, I said it. Thanks for the update, aaron.

Mike,

On of my tech students was interested in trying to make one. I told him it would be difficult, but I tried to find some websites that might help him. Came across this one and couldn't resist posting it here.

update on this photo, Evie asked me if I knew what had happened to some of the misteriously absent grad students in the program.

I mentioned Mr. Brian's pursuits as a pseudo archaeologist/craftsman. Evie jumped on this, thinking it was pretty funny stuff and forwarded the link to John Clark. I'd love to be in the room with Juan gets that email.
