Making a Shield & Buckler – out of Duct Tape! (PDF ebook)

The Ericksons are a homeschooling family with 3 children. They are also avid followers of our website, and contacted us about this cool new resource they just created.  After reading about ancient world history, sons Mark and Steven became fascinated by historic weapons and warfare.  They decided to make their own shields, swords and other weapons so that they could act out the history about which they had learned.  Mark and Steven had so much fun fighting wars and sieging fortresses with crushing defeats and heroic victories with their friends, they wanted to write down the instructions and patterns for the weapons and armor so that other kids could battle and act out history, too.  Julia had a booth at the GHEA conference in May selling her jewelry so the boys joined in the fun and sold duct tape weapons and e-books.  The duct tape weapons and e-books were such a big hit that the boys decided to go "big-time" with a website.  Warfare by Duct Tape was born!

Today we have an exclusive free copy of their ebook MAKING A SHIELD & BUCKLER for you, and also the Ericksons are offering their full WARFARE BY DUCT TAPE manual exclusively to our readers at a big discount. Check it out, and support a fellow homeschooling family if you like the freebie. You know your young warriors will eat this up!
