I got an Odinblade in March earlier this year but that was it. Quality over quantity! 
Have a BKS project which was slated to be done in Spring 2011 but as of yet not really started from my understanding so here's hoping for 2012.
New Odinblades project slated for 2012

This was a busy year for me.
A custom pattern welded seax
A custom pattern welded baselard
A couple of Del tin swords
3 Albions. A Gaddhjalt from the Marketplace, a Kingmaker currently being scabbarded by Christian Fletcher and a Yeoman on order.
next year, I'm thinking I really need to get a Cluny and I haven't commissioned anything from Tod for a couple of years now, so i should probably rectify that

Check and check.

I'm pretty much out of room in my display stand, so one purchase might be a jigsaw and a little bit of lumber to add onto it. Any new weapons I buy will just compound the need to add on to the stand. |
I've managed to avoid having to do woodwork on my display stand so far, but I'm running out of room/options.
| Quote: | | But I could use a nice baselard. Books are always an option, too. I want to make sure I have enough for Tobias Capwell's book on English 15th century armour if it comes out in 2011. |
Working on a baselard/swiss dagger commission, though it may be 2012 for delivery. I haven't received confirmation from the smith. I have money saved up for Dr. Capwell's book, though we'll see if it's enough now that it will be published in smaller, separate volumes (each with shipping from the UK, no doubt). That looks like 2012 also at this point.
I did get the Mary Rose book and bought Bruhn Hoffmeyer's catalogue of the Christensen collection.
| Quote: | | So I guess I don't know. Definitely a book or two. Maybe another small item or two, like a dagger or short polearm. Maybe a trip to the doctor if I hurt myself using the power tools to add on to my stand. |
So, two books. And two small items (both knives). No short polearm and no trip to the doctor.

Sean not just cute, it actually looks very good. ( But it is really really cute.   ).

Thanks! That was a side-line. What I really need to do is try to fit in one of these projects before the end of the year. Can't decide between the "Catherine" longsword project (right) or the slightly later sidering longsword. I'm tempted to hold out for a big backsword blade for the sidering sword. Anybody got one? Might be able to adapt the CS messer blade for that. Both projects will need LOTS of hilt work and the Catherine sword is meant to be a premium weapon, with good leather if I can afford it, gilded accents, embossing, pommel insert(s), appropriate scabbard and belt....it'll take awhile but it'd be a nice piece to roll out at Christmas, maybe with red leather.

That sounds very impressive Sean. What about the imposing round-pommeled longsword on the left of the photos? Have you described that project somehwere else?

Yeah, that one is pretty scary, and I think I've found reasonable historical precedent for it. http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t...=side+ring I would be more likely to finish that one in 2011 if I decide to proceed with that blade. I'll get real friendly with files and grinder but it won't require the fine work of the Catherine sword.

Waiting on two commissions from Arma Bohemia but I have no idea if those will come this year or not. |
Sounds like these will get here this year and I'm pretty sure I'll do a set of carbon fiber road wheels and maybe another bike though (also playing with stems, saddles, and pedals).

... if I had the wherewithall I'd commission a Japanese Style Blade from one of our
stateside masters ( financing a true Japanese blade would be outa the question ),
then commission a reccomended polisher, then commission a person to make the
fittings, then commission whoever-or-all-of-them to build the sword from the blade
out ...
