Moinmoin!
My name is Chris Wenzel, I´m a bookbinder and live in a small town on the outskirts of Hamburg (in Germany :wink: ).
Being interested in history since I was a kid (reading Rosemary Sutcliff novels under my bedcover by torchlight...) it was only naturall for me to join Living History as soon as I realised its existence. Well, my start was pityable in 1999, so I won`t tell more 8)
Since then I`ve been fascinated by a lot of periods from the stone age to the 15th century, my interest being ecspecially the development of clothing and shoes and weaving techniques.
That's me in my mid-13th century clothes: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Wasch ... Wenzel.jpg
I make shoes, do some leatherwork, some weaving (tablets and loom), sewing - just whats necessary to get my gear together.
Over the years I was able to produce some reconstructions of archeological finds and whole sets of clothing for friends and some museums in Germany and Austria :oops:
And yes, I also "do" roman period living history:
Looking forward to a lot of fascinating discussions, Chris.
