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!

    A Life-Changing Experience, Dr Kachi A Testimony of Gratitude

    I would like to share an extraordinary experience that has transformed my life. I came across a remarkable testimony online forum about a powerful and renowned spell caster, Dr. Kachi. At the time, I was skeptical because I had never encountered anything related to magic or spell casting before. However, the story of Dr. Kachi’s work resonated with me, and I decided to give it a chance. For years, my family and I struggled financially, and despite my best efforts, I never had luck winning the lottery. I loved playing, but winning seemed impossible. Everything changed when I connected with Dr. Kachi, who provided me with a winning lottery number through a powerful spell. In just 24 hours, I was able to play the lottery and won the Lotto 6/49 prize, a remarkable $68 million cash prize, on September 27th in the Gold Ball Draw. This incredible win has completely changed my life and the financial well-being of my entire family. After 10 years of trying unsuccessfully, I am now living my dream life. I am beyond grateful to Dr. Kachi for his assistance, Dr. Kachi has truly been a blessing to me and my loved ones. I encourage anyone who is interested to reach out to Dr. Kachi for guidance. his website https://drkachispellcaster.wixsite.com/my-site or email drkachispellcast@gmail.com Also reach him text or call +1 (209) 893-8075.Thank you once again, Dr. Kachi, for making my dreams come true.

    I am Jimmy Laminger from Montana. One phone call was all it took, and I was scammed out of my meager savings. It all started with a call from someone claiming to be an IRS employee. He told me I owed back taxes and would be arrested if I didn’t pay immediately. I was shocked when he gave me my IRS information and address.
    I was instructed to withdraw cash from my bank and deposit it at a Bitcoin ATM near my house. The caller explained the entire process and even told me which machine to use. I panicked and didn’t have time to think clearly. I deposited $16,000 into the ATM and transferred the money to the Bitcoin address I’d been given.
    After the transaction, the calls stopped. That’s when I knew something was wrong. I contacted the police and the Bitcoin ATM company, but they said there was nothing they could do; once the money was transferred, it was gone.
    I lost all my savings that day. What hurt me most was how real it all felt. They used fear, urgency, and official-sounding language to manipulate me. I want others to know: If someone calls you demanding payment in Bitcoin, it’s a scam, no matter how convincing they sound. Hang up. Confirm your information. Protect yourself.
    Amidst all the chaos, I thought my money was lost forever until my neighbor referred me to ICC Recovery Services. At first, I wasn’t sure how they would recover my deposit, but they patiently guided me through the process of tracking transactions on the blockchain and working with the authorities. After a few days, they restored the deposit I had sent to the Bitcoin address. With this turn of events, ICC Recovery Services gave me hope and, more importantly, justice.
    If you’ve been scammed like I have, don’t suffer in silence. Report it. And consider contacting ICC. They will help you, just as they helped me when I thought no one could. Contact: ICC Recovery:

    Victim of the $HAWK token pump-and-dump scheme:
    I had been involved with cryptocurrencies for a few years without taking too many risks. But when Haliey Welch, the viral “Hawk Tuah” girl, launched her own token ($HAWK), I decided to get in early. The hype was everywhere on Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok and everyone was promoting the idea: “It’s going to the moon.”
    After the launch, $HAWK skyrocketed. Its market capitalization rose to nearly $500 million within hours. I invested over $698,000, convinced I’d made the right decision. But within 48 hours, the token plummeted by more than 95%. My balance fell below $48,000, and trading virtually came to a standstill.
    It wasn’t just a bad investment it was a trap. One wallet had bought and sold over 29% of the supply immediately after launch, driving the price down for all of us.
    I then contacted ICC Recovery. I had read that they specialize in investigating and recovering crypto fraud. Their team tracked the fraudulent wallets across multiple blockchain layers and uncovered how the funds were laundered and diverted. They compiled a detailed legal and technical report, submitted it to US authorities, and notified the relevant exchanges. If you’ve been scammed, act quickly. Services like ICC Recovery can make all the difference.
    Contact: ICC Recovery: (IRON-CLAD-CYBER--TECHIE-.com) (IRON-CLAD-CYBER-RECOVERY--GMAIL-.com)
    Thanks to their quick action, I was able to recover about 80% of my funds. Without ICC Recovery, I would have had nothing. This experience taught me that hype doesn’t equal legitimacy. I’m grateful that the ICC helped me regain my money and my confidence.
