Yumi Longbow (Japanese, Asymmetric, 7-foot)
Traditional Japanese yumi, 7 feet tall, bamboo and wood laminate. The asymmetric grip (held at the lower third) allows shooting from horseback. My mounted archery was accurate at 100 yards at full gallop. The yumi requires years to master -- start with standing shots.
Shawnee War Tomahawk & Trade Knife Set
Forged iron tomahawk (throwing and hand combat) and trade knife in leather sheath. The tomahawk is balanced for both throwing and fighting. The trade knife is the everyday tool of the woodlands. I will teach you the standing throw at 15 paces and the fighting grip for close work.
Repeating Crossbow (Zhuge Nu Replica)
My improvement on the repeating crossbow -- a gravity-fed magazine holding 10 bolts, fired by pumping the lever. Less accurate than a standard crossbow but devastating in volley fire. A line of these could stop a cavalry charge. Working replica, safe bolts for target practice.
Guqin (Seven-String Zither) -- Strategy & Music
The instrument I played on the empty walls. The guqin is 3,000 years old -- the scholar's instrument, played for meditation and clarity. I played it before every battle. Music orders the mind the way strategy orders the battlefield. Includes stand and tuning guide.
Chinese Dao Sword (Northern Wei Style)
Single-edged dao, 32-inch blade, ring pommel. The standard infantry sword of the Northern Wei period. Optimized for cutting from horseback -- the slight curve pulls the blade through the target. I carried one for twelve years and it never failed me.
Spanish Colonial Cavalry Saber
Curved cavalry saber, standard issue for the Wars of Liberation. Light, fast, designed for the slashing attacks of llanero plainsmen cavalry. Paez and his llaneros could ride circles around Spanish regulars. The saber is their signature weapon.
Decoy & Ambush Tactics Workshop
The decoy lures, the ambush kills. How to draw an enemy into a position of your choosing. Terrain selection, patience, the courage to stand alone in front of the enemy. At the Fetterman Fight, I taunted 81 soldiers into chasing me over a ridge where 2,000 warriors waited. Tip: The decoy who panics gets his friends killed. Be calm. Trust the plan.
Telephone Prototype (Working Replica, 1876 Model)
Working replica of the original electromagnetic telephone. Two units connected by wire. Speak into one, listen on the other. The sound quality is terrible by modern standards. But the first time you hear a voice come through that wire, you'll understand why I shouted for Watson.
Antibiotic Resistance Lecture -- The Crisis We Created
I warned about this in my 1945 Nobel lecture. Bacteria evolve resistance when we use antibiotics carelessly. The ignorant man who takes insufficient doses creates resistant strains. Seventy years later, it is a global crisis. This lecture covers the mechanism and what we can still do.
Rocket Engine Test Stand (Educational)
Tabletop test stand for small solid rocket motors. Measures thrust with a load cell and data logger. See the thrust curve, calculate impulse and burn time. I tested engines hundreds of times at my aunt Effie farm in Auburn. The neighbors complained. Worth it.
Tang Soo Do Fundamentals -- From White to Green Belt
Traditional Korean martial arts training. We start with basic stances, blocks, and kicks. No flashy nonsense -- just solid technique that works. I'll teach the same forms I learned at Osan Air Base in 1958. Tip: Your roundhouse kick should come from the hip, not the knee. Most beginners kick with their leg. Champions kick with their whole body.
Stella Adler's Acting Technique (First Edition)
Stella Adler's own handbook, first edition. She studied with Stanislavski in Paris -- the only American actor who did. This book is the foundation. Strasberg got the attention, but Adler got the method right.
