Shipton/Tilman Grants

Get a couple thousand dollars to do something cool. Obviously some of us should put together an application for next year.

'Ullo.

You appear to have friended me, and we seem to share some interests. Do I know you?

No, I just friended you at random doing some interest searches. I occasionally get on a kick of adding one new interesting looking person a week.

It was the iron bloom that caught my eye. Last year I did a couple of very primitive copper smelting attempts, with pretty disappointing results. I'm going to try again this summer, with hopes of doing a run with completely tradition materials once I get the process worked out.

Any good ideas for the Japanese launch?

Not really. I still haven't found real submission info either. I suspect this just might be out of our league.
