NOTE, AS CAN BE SEEN, THERE CANNOT BE TIME FOR THE PRESENTATION OF THE BLADESMITHING AND FORGING WORKSHOP.

 

BECAUSE THIS BLADESMITHING AND FORGING TECHNIQUES ARE A VERY FIRST TO MACAU, I SUGGEST THAT IT TAKES PLACE ONE WEEK-END IN ADVANCE AT THE LEAL SENADO’S MAIN SQUARE ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY 12 & 13 OF MAY 2001-

SINCE IT INVOLVES ONE PERSON IT IS NOT DIFFICULT AT ALL, AND WILL GIVE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE OF HOW SWORDS ARE REALLY MADE, ALLOWING FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING WHEN THE SWORDS ARE USED THE NEXT WEEKEND.
