~My~ Webster's didn't have either, and neither did M-W.com, which is why I asked what the words meant. James Brown had the best guesses, I think - they were the same as my guesses, misspelled words of similar meanings. I had guessed cobbler from (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

I've been inspired, recently, by many original creations to experiment with mixing parts from other themes to create unique characters and/or armies. I'm hoping to get some feedback about the appropriateness (is that a word?!) of using the following (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Nope. A farrier is different. A smith will quite happily make horseshoes, but will tell you where to go if you ask him to put them on your horse. ;) (Unless, of course, he's also a farrier) A farrier would shoe horses, as well as repair (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

I personally have an army of forest elves and I don't use the regular castle swords for them. I use the pirate's cutlasses, just because they look better in the hands of an elf than in the hands of a charging armored knight. I'm also using the (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Yes. Farrier is an alteration of a Middle English and French word that meant blacksmith. Can't really imagine a smith making a living solely on horse shoes, but then again, in a large city that might support multiple smiths, maybe it could (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) There you go - the connection I wasn't making. The difference between producing the thing made of iron and actually putting it to use - shoeing the horse, and all the doo-dads you'd need for the horse, sounds like. Never thought of it that (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

Hi everyone! I've been thinking about setting up a homepage. It's about time, computers are taking over the world :-) and my (humble) lego creations are waiting to be seen in public. Even though I get along better than OK with computers, I've never (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general)

(...) Used to be. Now, the Farrier (and I was wrong, it is farrier, not ferrier) is a horse of a different shoe :). I know a Farrier who I doubt is a blacksmith (my wife's old boss). I know blacksmiths (self proclamed) who would be frightened out of (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

The adventurers hat would also work as an alternative hat. The airman's cap might work as a leather helmet. Of course the adventurers backpack for a dungeon explorer, complete with lance (10' pole) and a pick or other tool... The pharaoh's (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
