It has stood up to a shit load of beatings, the shorts are pretty much legal target defining. Having a defined neck and hip bone are pretty awesome for targeting. I've even used blunted steel against it quite a bit and had no real damage to it.

Recommend it to anyone that has the cash. It was my christmas present to myself last year.

What is the pricetag on that thing?

interesting, but after I destroy my throw together, I will make a few different ones... hanging around my backyard!

Where does one get that Dock rope? It looks perfect; easy to put up, take down, 0 maintenance and could take a beating if one wanted to.

I want to get some!

My new pell about to get planted

I like the arm.
Is that your design?

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2012 11:13 am**

I stole it from sean powell's armor stand design from this thread
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=112989&hilit=stand
the shield is removable and the left arm can hold a sword.

Realized I never did post the Pell that my friend and I built. It's gotten less use than I would like, but should get more now that it's warming up.

Trashed 5 Gallon zero dollars
Scrap 2x4 zero dollars
Old carpet Sample zero dollars
Pallet Nails zero dollars
Broken bag of quick-rete zero dollars
Chunks of blacktop zero dollars
Angle Iron zero dollars
Whole roll of duct tape five dollars
Scrap or die!

Super jealous of Senior Squishy Face, Pell well done.

I'm glad someone got some use out of that piece of engineering.

I considered how to mount a sword and shield to a pell but my best idea was to mount the sword to the shield. I like your idea for it's adjustability.

Thank you Sean! I had been wracking my brain on how to build arms when I stumbled across your design and the scales fell from my eyes,you sir are fricken brilliant.

I am lucky to have a 6ft cut utility pole in my back yard, that someone was using as a hamock or a laundry drying line pole. But I put a old freon can helm that has been passed down for years in the canton, as the head. And I practice slow work on it.

Since that one looks too tough for me, I'm going with this one!

I need a new one..

Note: There is a very sad epilogue to this image and a lesson for all. I thought I was going to be a smart ass and stick my Hanwei Tinker Norman blunt on the top of the pell but my aim was untrue and it skip down now my lovely Albion Stamford has a nick in its blade from that nasty brutish Hanwei and I have a tear in my eye

Posted: **Fri Apr 13, 2012 8:21 pm**

Here is mine. Have had it for I want to say like 4, maybe 5 years, has held up wonderfully, and has taken a beating.

Here is a picture of my pell, made here while stationed in Kuwait:

You can make a decent hanging pell out of large diameter firehose stuffed with old clothes too. Drill holes in the ends and bolt shut, and a hole for your rope to hang it with. No bounce back like some other materials and lasts forever.

Where would you buy said firehose?

I work for a fire department so it was free. You can probably call around to departments in your area and score some. Old hose that fails testing can't be repaired often gets cut up and used for stuff and many departments have it laying around.

Here's my Pell. It screams "Not in the Face! Not in the Face!" a lot but I don't care.. I just hit it there anyways. It's held up pretty good over the years and has only had one upgrade.

I really should learn not to read th Archive over my lunch break. Now I have to clean the Diet Mtn Dew out of my keyboard.

"Not in the Face! Not in the Face!" is just a decoy feign audible anyway. Good on you for ignoring and swinging forthright!

Dude, you would hit a guy with glasses? That's just wrong.

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2012 10:11 am**

Actually he takes them off when he fights so I guess technically I'm hitting a blind guy.

See there's your problem rey your Pell should never be better than you. And where'd you find such a dashing picture of Asoph.

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2012 11:31 am**

My Pell isn't. I just happened to get a Pell with a Ego..

And you will have to thank Barbara Sterling for the lovely Picture. Apparently she's got dashing pictures of all of us.
