I was wondering, is there a site with good directions for targe making? I would like to make one that I could use in my reenactments, so it would have to be pretty sturdy.

Also, what are your opinions on the Early Baskethilt by Armourclass? I was considering buying a new baskethilt, and my sights are set on this one, but before I make a commitment, I wanted a second opinion.

Do a search in the DIY section. I seem to recall someone posted instructions about a year ago.

Armour Class probably makes the most authentic production swords available. They are, of course, more expensive than the Hanwei and Cold Steel products, but the difference is worth the cost.

Thanks, I know they are a bit expensive, but the same rule goes for bagpiping...no cheap pipes are good, and no good pipes are cheap. Thanks for the help!

Armour Class makes a good sword. I've got one on order myself. But don't discount Castle Keep or Arms & Armor. I'm told that Vince Evans does the best Highland broadsword, but he's into the high 4 figures.

The difficulty arises when one realizes that when spending that kind of money one can purchase a really nice 18th century broadsword.

I found this when looking to make one myself, hope it helps http://easytarge.blogspot.com/
