I looked around for a while trying to find some sort of wall mount for my two CS Hand and a Halfs. Didn't see anything I really liked so I decided to make my own. They are made from oak that I picked up at the local home improvement store. The finish is six coats of hand rubbed Birchwood Casey Tru Oil. I made the tip and forte mounts a little different so as to keep the swords reasonably level. The one problem I had was the countersink I used was apparently dull and chattered a bit leaving the holes less than smooth. Total cost less than $10 and a few hours work.

I enjoy simple woodworking projects when I have the time, and these were about as simple as it gets.

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

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
