There is new Baronial News at the Stórfréttir!<br /><br />What was "the banner stand project"?<br />Posted by: Woodworking Guild<br /><br />
Now it can be told! Last year after Pennsic, Baroness Hilda asked Ishiyama if he would make silk banners for the Barony to gift to the other Baronies of Æthelmearc as favors for the "7 Pearls Dinner" at this year's Pennsic War. These banners would also need stands and support poles. The stands and poles were a perfect way to enlist the help of the Woodworking Guild.
The Seven Pearls banners and their banner stands
The stands are made from 2x4 lumber, which keeps the costs down, but creates a little bit more work. Each is made from four identical legs and four identical cross-pieces, so mass-production of pieces sped the whole project along. Once you remove the support pole, the off-center hinge pin lets the stand fold flat for travel.
There are enough extra pieces left over that if you need one of these stands for your very own, just let the guild know and we can help you put one together.
