Myrmidon Combat Training -- Elite Warrior Conditioning
Training as the Myrmidons trained. Spear, sword, shield, and body conditioning that would make Olympians weep. The Myrmidons were the most feared unit at Troy -- not because of numbers but because every single warrior was exceptional. Tip: An elite unit is not fifty good fighters. It is fifty fighters who trust each other with their lives.
Pelian Ash Spear (Replica of Achilles' Spear)
The Pelian ash spear -- cut from a tree on Mount Pelion by the centaur Chiron. No other Greek at Troy could wield it. This replica is 9 feet of ash with a bronze head. Heavy, meant for a warrior who fights from the front. I killed Hector with a spear like this, through the gap in his throat armor.
Rage Management for Warriors -- Channel the Fire
My rage nearly lost the war for the Greeks. When I withdrew, the Trojans almost burned the ships. When I returned, I was unstoppable but reckless. This workshop teaches how to use anger as fuel without letting it drive. Tip: The warrior who fights in cold blood wins. The warrior who fights in hot blood fights well but makes mistakes that cost lives.
Locally-Made Flintlock Musket (Wassoulou Replica)
A replica of the muskets my blacksmiths produced. Hand-forged barrel, wooden stock, flintlock mechanism. Not as refined as a French Gras but it fires, it kills, and it was made by African hands in an African forge. That is the point. Non-firing display replica for education.
Aerodynamics Workshop -- Why Things Fly
Hands-on session. We'll build and test paper gliders, balsa models, and wing sections. You'll learn Bernoulli's principle the way it actually works (not the oversimplified textbook version). Tip: Lift isn't magic. It's geometry plus airspeed. Get the angle of attack wrong and the wing stalls. I learned that at Kitty Hawk in ways that bruised.
Drafting Table & Instrument Set (Professional)
Full-size drafting table with parallel rule, plus a complete set of drawing instruments: compasses, dividers, ruling pens, French curves, triangles. The same setup I used to design the Flyer. Everything fits in a leather roll for transport.
Chanute-Wright Correspondence (Facsimile Collection)
Bound facsimile of the correspondence between Octave Chanute and the Wright brothers, 1900-1910. Hundreds of letters detailing every step of our research. This is how engineering was done before email. Read it and learn how to ask the right questions of the right people.
Engineering Mentoring -- From Idea to Industry
One-on-one sessions for aspiring engineers. I'll help you refine your mechanical design, calculate stresses and tolerances, and -- most importantly -- find your Matthew Boulton. The greatest engine in the world is worthless without someone to sell it. I was nearly bankrupt before Boulton. Technical genius plus business sense equals the Industrial Revolution.
Petri Dish & Agar Kit (Sterile, 50-Pack)
Fifty sterile petri dishes with pre-poured nutrient agar. Ready for streaking, swabbing, or zone-of-inhibition experiments. Includes inoculation loops and a Bunsen burner. Proper aseptic technique required.
Fermentation Science Workshop -- Grapes to Wine to Vinegar
Hands-on. We will ferment grape juice, observe yeast under the microscope, test for alcohol and acetic acid. This is how I started -- wine merchants of Lille asked why their fermentations kept failing. The answer was contaminating microorganisms. Clean your equipment. Always.
Orbital Mechanics Tutoring -- Getting to Space
One-on-one tutoring in spaceflight physics. Escape velocity, orbital insertion, Hohmann transfers, gravity assists. I worked this out by hand in the 1910s. Tip: Getting to orbit is not about going up. It is about going sideways fast enough.
Assembly Line Simulation Workshop
Small group (max 8). Simulate a moving assembly line. First round: each person builds complete item. Second round: each person does one step. Measure the difference. Tip: The bottleneck is the slowest station. Fix that first.
