Hi Moshe, Aria and I like your haircut. And it was cool hearing the birds in the background.

I'm used to using a hand and a half sword so don't use a shield. However, I've considered getting a full sized shield for when I use my knightly sword. I haven't practiced with sword and shield so that's an area I lack in. I've thought about getting a buckler as well but feel like a larger shield or dagger would be more balanced for me. Nice job on cleaning up the rust on your buckler. Keep doing what you are doing and follow your dreams.

This makes me wonder what one might use as a rust preventative 🤔 Rustoleum? You might try baking soda instead of baking powder to see if that helps in removing general stains. You'd add a bit of water to the bs to form a paste. Disclaimer: not an expert in rust removal, just thoughts! Do you like storytelling? Legends, superstitions of the times could be interesting. Switching it up might help squash the boredom blues 😊

Hey Moshe, have you ever thought about blackening you buckler? you can do so by adding a thin layer of boiled linseed and heating the buckler in a light flame until blackened, according to my research it should last a few months without rusting, then when it does you just clean the rust off, then re-blacken. Hope this helps. Good journeys my friend.
