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!

    As a seasoned pilot, I’d spent years flying the friendly skies of Europe, diligently saving my earnings from countless flights. So, when I decided to invest my €100,000 gratuity with ForexTilt, I thought I’d made a savvy decision. But, little did I know, my dreams of growing my savings would soon turn into a nightmare.
    The platform’s performance began to plummet, and before I could react, my entire investment had vanished into thin air. I was stunned, feeling like I’d been punched in the gut. This wasn’t just any money; it was the result of years of hard work and sacrifice.
    The reality soon set in: I’d been scammed. The disappointment and frustration were overwhelming, leaving me feeling helpless and shattered. My confidence in financial markets had been shaken to the core.
    Determined to recover my stolen funds, I embarked on a quest for justice. I scoured the internet, seeking advice from friends, family, and online forums. That’s when I stumbled upon Morphohack Cyber Service, a reputable firm specializing in recovering lost funds.
    With trepidation, I reached out to Morphohack Cyber Service, hoping against hope that they could help me recover my stolen savings. Their team was empathetic, professional, and reassuring, giving me the confidence to pursue the recovery process.
    Through their tireless efforts, Morphohack Cyber Service successfully tracked down my stolen funds and recovered the full amount. I was overjoyed, feeling like I’d been given a second chance. The recovery came just in time for Christmas, bringing me immense relief and joy.
    Thanks to Morphohack Cyber Service, I regained control of my finances and rediscovered hope for the future.
