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 Recovered My Stolen Bitcoin in Less Than 48 Hours: A Hard Lesson with a Surprising Turn

    In early 2025, I made what I believed was a life-changing decision — to invest in a cryptocurrency opportunity recommended by someone I trusted. The platform appeared legitimate: sleek interface, responsive support, and regular profit updates. Encouraged by what I saw, I invested $350,000 — essentially my entire savings.

    Within a few months, my account balance had grown to an impressive $618,000. I felt like I had finally cracked the code to financial freedom.

    Then everything unraveled.

    The moment I attempted my first withdrawal, the platform went dark. My emails were ignored. My login credentials stopped working. Then came the demands — I had to pay “release fees” and “security clearance charges” to access my funds. That’s when the realization hit me like a brick: I’d been scammed.

    The hours that followed were filled with panic, disbelief, and heartbreak. I felt utterly helpless, betrayed, and defeated. But somewhere amid the chaos, I forcedHow I Recovered My Stolen Bitcoin in Less Than 48 Hours: A Hard Lesson with a Surprising Turn
    myself to act quickly.

    After reading several warnings about fake “crypto recovery agents,” I stumbled across a cybersecurity and blockchain recovery firm that had legitimate references, real case studies, and no exaggerated promises. I contacted them immediately.

    To my surprise, they responded within the hour. I was asked to provide all relevant transaction details, wallet addresses, and communication records with the scammers. They explained how they would use advanced blockchain analytics to trace the stolen assets — and they got to work without delay.

    Astonishingly, within 48 hours, they were able to trace and freeze a significant portion of the stolen funds on an exchange wallet the scammers had used to move the crypto. Thanks to swift action and coordination with the exchange’s compliance team, $278,000 of my funds were recovered and returned to my wallet.

    It felt surreal. Just two days earlier, I was sure everything was lost. Now, a large part of my investment had been saved.

    If you’ve fallen victim to a crypto scam, don’t waste time — take action immediately, but do it wisely. The right help can make all the difference, sometimes faster than you think. You can either contact them through E-mail at ( Spyhost @cyberdude.com) or whatsapp at ( ‪+1 (228) 313‑3152‬). Remember delay is dangerous so act now.

    EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET YOUR HERPES CURE/MEDICINE ORDER FROM DR. ODUNGA HERBAL REMEDIES

    My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email odungaspelltemple@gmail.com
