Yes, be proud. You should be.

Well, you could cheat a bit, and put a fly on the braes. Only works for taking a whiz, tho.

Thanks!

Buff the crap out of it. Otherwise you're what all the excess leather is gonna rub off onto. Eventually, it will stop. I have the same problem, and not enough hours in the day to devote to buffing it out. So, I get to wear rubbed off dye for a while. About vinegaroon. I love the stuff, but my first ...

RenJunkie

Might work if you put enough oomph into it. That's pretty heavy for the technique I was describing.

How thick is the leather? You could set a wooden spoon handle up in it, and then press down the leather where your knuckles will be over the spoon handle. You can use your fingers to make a dishing donut as you press. Or you could drill a hole in a 2x4 round the edges of the hole and then use the sp...

By supported, you mean having something behind your back to keep you straight vertical?

This. :cry: Not so awesome for those of us who love chocolate milk but are lactose intolerant. : I wonder tho, if the results are about the same with goat's milk? I'm told those of us with lactose issues don't typically have problems with goat's milk. Haven't had the nerve to test the theory, tho. C...

RenJunkie

Yup.

See my post towards the bottom of page one for my apology and explanation of why I did such a dunderheaded thing.

There's a fellow, I believe from Marinus, who sewed tubes into fabric cuisses and then popped sections of garden hose into the channels. He says it works great.

Do you use a drawstring or a belt-ish sorta arrangement to keep your braes up, James? I know with experience from my roundly gut, a drawstring is more comfortable for outer pants to me (no braes yet). As I wear at my hips (so they stay up), the drawstring doesn't fold over under my fat and start bit...

Those rings are from GDFB. If you order from them they are around 20 bucks (tho I can't say what shipping from the UK would be) for 3000 rings and rivets as opposed to 1000. Of course shipping over the Atlantic might make it cheaper to go with the place you've posted. You'd have to inquire with GDFB...

C. Two-Handed Weapons. 7. Total weapon length shall not exceed 12 feet (3.658 m) After the length, it said "and" and described a spear. I didnn't realize it was only about a spear to start with. Since the OP didn't have part 6, which limits anything bigger to thrusting only, I didn't real...

Oh.

Just...wow....

D'ose are heavy hats!

Well, there's likely only one way I'm gonna find out, and that's to get one and stick my melon it it. I got me a Plan A and 3 backups. So now, it's just waiting to see how things play out.

Thanks, everyone!

There might be a problem bulking up, but I'm not far enough along yet to know...lol If I could afford the nutritionist and supplements, I woulda just hired a PT to start with. I'll have to see what happens, and then alter protein intake once I start seeing or not seeing results. Thanks! Christopher

Hey Sean, you ever willing to do patterns using that 3D unfoldy thing of yours on commission? Cause figuring out how to make 3D into a 2D pattern often whomps my butt.

Thanks!

I think they're counting halberd as a two-handed cutting polearm. The way I read it it, it's legal up to 12 feet.

Suzerain for the win!

And all of this stuff is on the free site, or in the book?

Thanks!

No, you're fine Frederich. That's all part of what I need in making my decision, so it's all very valid. I do have to admit, I am a little concerned about my neck in a 12ga. I have never had to do anything to make it terribly strong (and don't know any exercises for it). Maybe 12ga top with 14 ga ba...

The welded top from Cet is one of my 3 backup plans

Thanks again for all the input, guys!

Your best bet is likely soundproofing. Put rubber pads under what you can, maybe use a layer of leather between the object you're hitting, and the form or stake you're hitting against. Use polymer auto body hammers. Maybe working hot, you could it it softer. It's a loud thing, metal on metal. Christ...

There is an exception to the floating rib placement: fat guts. If you place it where it historically should be, the rise in the gut will shove it up into your throat, whereas, if you make it reach lower to just beyond the widest point of your middle, you'll get great mobility. It allows a longer-tha...

Soon I think I shall purchase one of these....

I'm hoping you don't already have to be strong or close to fit to start doing this stuff? On the site it said something about hundreds of exercises. Does a non-gymnast really need all of those? After watching that freaky kid do the side lever pulls, I have a new dream in life; To be able to do that....

RenJunkie

I don't think they're saying you should act badly to the cops, especially since they seem to be siding with you. I think they mean let the cops come, offer them some lemonade, and swap stories about how big of a nuisance the old lady is. Ignore *her*. I'd also soundproof that garage a bit. Accoustic...

How's the gaunt experiment going?

Thanks!
Christopher

RenJunkie

Awesome.

Can they be dyed, or oiled (to color, not just maintenance oiling) at home, or do they have a finish coat on them?

Thanks!
Christopher

RenJunkie

Can't...even...comprehend what I just saw........Freaky pushup dude.

I had totally misunderstood what an L-sit was. I was thinking L-dips. Not like a floor routine or a rings kinda posture. I gets it now. I'll have to devote some time to studying this as well.

Thanks!
Christopher

RenJunkie

Sweet.

Thanks!
Christopher

That is spectacular. The interplay of colors and finish is ....beyond my mental thesaurus to express.

Outstanding!
