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!

    Avoiding con artists and fake bitcoin investment sites is essential. I had placed 78,000 USD into my account, which did not include a 120000 USD screen profit. But they wouldn’t allow me withdraw even that amount which I had before. I never heard back from customer service about the issue again, even after completing the 18 processes. To dissuade you from making more deposits, deceptive hopes and cunning tactics are employed.
    As directed by a coworker at work, I reported the event to (LIGHTWEBRECOVERYSERVICE@gmail.com) after getting irate, afraid, and worried. I had my whole deposit taken away.
    But due to LIGHT WEB RECOVERY SERVICE, who did a fantastic job recovering everything I lost in a matter of days after contacting them, I was able to get it all back. This agent is undoubtedly the finest out there for recovering digital assets and performing nearly any type of hacking work.

    Recently, technology has proven to be more sophisticated and just like any other currency that can be stolen or lost, crypto and other digital assets has proven to be more difficult to recover but not impossible. And just like searching for any other monetary currency, you need a trustworthy and honest agency or personnel who can track and recover the value lost or stolen, in my case I hired LIGHTWEBRECOVERYSERVICE@gmail.com, they followed the blockchain and was able to recover over 85% of my stolen funds within a couple of weeks. The fees for the services I received was fair and communication was excellent.
