Building Arm Guards!

Building Arm Guards!

Been wanting to do this for a while. This is a bit about us and building our arm guards. With some pictures, of course! 

First off we trace out the main body pieces and the piece that makes up the colored accent bars. Here's Annette doing that part.

The pieces are then cut out of the leather. It took a while for us to get some decent scissors for cutting this leather.

That part isn't bad. Next though is cutting out the slots so the color shows. Straight edge, razor, and a steady hand is needed here.

Once we get the pieces cut out, they're then tack glued together, and then left to let the glue do its thing. Not particularly exciting. We do this just to keep everything properly aligned so there are no slip ups when we first start sewing the pieces together. Let's just say that doing the temporary glue up is just a "lesson learned" some time ago.

After the glue sets THEN it's time to do some sewing. First thing we do is the simple straight runs that make the spaces for the reinforcing rods. Those are just cut from 3/16" steel wire. I do have a cute little bolt cutter though that makes it easy.

The next step is to sew on the straps and buckles. That part though is just plain tedious. We do use Big Wheel, our sewing Machine. But it's tiny little stitches and the machine has to be rolled over by hand so as keep close control.

But then we get to stuff the rods in and sew the whole thing shut around the edges. This is me part way through the whole sewing process.

And so after all that we get a nice, durable, and good looking armguard. Red and black are my "Archery Colors" but we both sure do like the pink and black combo!

    How I Healed from Herpes Simplex Virus with Holistic Herbal Remedies

    The greatest joy in my life today is that I have been completely healed from Herpes, thanks to holistic herbal remedies.

    In 2023, I was diagnosed with the Herpes Simplex Virus. I visited numerous hospitals seeking a cure, but nothing worked. I felt hopeless and frustrated, wondering if I would ever find a solution. Then, one day while browsing the internet, I came across a testimonial about how holistic herbal remedies had helped others heal from Herpes and various other diseases.

    Intrigued, I reached out to the person who had shared their experience and contacted the herbalist via WhatsApp. He assured me that he could prepare a special herbal medicine for my condition. Two weeks later, after following his guidance and taking the herbal remedy, my Herpes symptoms had completely vanished.

    Holistic herbal remedies are widely recognized for their effectiveness, and I want to share this hope with others. If you’re suffering from Herpes or any other similar health issue, know that there is a cure. The herbal medicine has no side effects, and there is no special diet required during treatment.

    In addition to Herpes, the herbalist also helps cure a range of conditions, including ALS, cancer, HPV, diabetes, and more.

    My husband whom I built my life with for 23 years left me and the kids without a word. Everything came crashing down on me and I reached out to our loved ones and no one could help. There came a time he filed for divorce even when we had no issues or ever fought over anything disastrous. Dr Osazu came to my rescue and fixed the problem I had with my man. He reunited us back together again and he returned home to us. Indeed life is mysterious and I never thought I would experience what I did went through but all thanks to Dr Osazu who worked for me and assured me of the positive results after 48 hours which indeed came to pass as he promised. He can as well fix your problems if you contact him now. osazu_spell@outlook.com
