Whilst I wait for my swords to come in... Dec 31, 2021 1:59:52 GMT

Just sitting here (im)patiently waiting for my swords to be finished and mailed to meeeeee. Figured I would mock one up that's being produced, that popular Flying Phoenix from LKChen, to swing it around make sure I don't break my whole place. Made a spare blade and gonna fit it more basically cause making that handle was just a fat pain in the a... Gonna find some proper handle wrap material now.

This forum is too dead so trying to put a little life

There was a member on here several years ago, maybe 5-6 years, who was making lots of wooden wasters. I forget his name but I always wanted to get one of his swords.

My 7 year old son is very much into making wooden weapons these days. He is oohing and aahing over my shoulder.

The weight is way too low at 330g and the balance point is off so I'm considering a few ways to improve it without killing the esthetics.

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
