Hey everyone, a new member here.
I've been looking at several sword forums for some time now, but never joined because I didn't feel like I have anything to contribute. With the latest addition of a Hanwei/PC PK and a PPT to my possessions I felt like I might want to customize/polish them and post the results for others to look and comment on!

Here's the Paul Chen Practical Katana in it's coarse 800grit polish and a contemporary tsukamaki that's sort of a blend between katate-maki and hira maki zuka, although I like to think it's just a very broad "normal" katate-maki.

I also have a thing for photography and 3D modeling, and think that the sword world has too little good quality photos of the items, so whatever I get my grabby hands on, I will take photos of.

Hey and welcome to SBG.

I agree with you that sword photography is a neglected subject, so any nice are pics always welcome.
Damn, I still need a serious camera so I may take the dive soon and commit to one.
Excited to see some of your projects.

Edit: Nevermind. Just got an FZ48 on impulse. :shock:

Welcome from out behind the guest veil. Always nice to have people join in after a good lurking. And we always appreciate more pretty pictures of swords, so photography and sword collecting mix sounds like a wonderful thing.

My favorite quotes from Rorschach from the comic Watchmen

"Once a man has seen society's black underbelly, he can never turn his back on it. Never pretend, like you do, that it doesn't exist."

"None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with *ME*!"

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT

eastman: that situation has been constant at MyArmoury for the last 2-3 years Nov 18, 2024 0:32:06 GMT

choseychas: Anyone have any info on MyArmoury registration? Been wanting to make an account for a year or more (can't remember at this point) but every time I've checked they've halted registrations. Nov 17, 2024 21:55:36 GMT

alinkinthechain: I also do love Boston. I've traveled a bit and nothing feels as wonderful as that city to me. I'm lucky to live nearby Nov 12, 2024 15:28:16 GMT

txhighlander: Boston might be my fav. So much history, and clean! and great food. New York was cool for a day to see iconic landmarks Nov 7, 2024 17:00:22 GMT

eskiso: someone can help me to identify a sword and its origin, to see its commercial value please. 2346
