      the way i see it, no matter what else you see in it, the confederate flag is part of history. plus, id never be dumb enough to fly it in my yard anyway.... id hang it on the wall in my room where people wouldnt see it and try to hurt me

    done with the juggling balls at the cost of a third blister. also curious: is niobium weak enough to bend by hand or is it just the ringsize i bought messing with my head?

      Milquetoast

      What size did you get? I mean, it's not a terribly strong metal, but it's not THAT soft

      next time I clean my bronze/brass/stainless maille, I'm going to try some Blue Dawn. Hopefully I don't get 'dishpan hands'.

  12. Schtiel

    my hands hate me for 11 hours of mailing while at work today =|

      When my hands hurt I rub Tiger Balm into the backs and knuckles. The heat increases blood circulation and speeds up healing. Just wash your hands really well before touching any other parts of your body, especially before wiping after a bathroom visit. (Speaking from painful experience.)

      Great job that you have that will allow 11 hours of mailling

      police dispatch, small town so its not often busy. i do my mailing there so im not so bored all day =|

  14. Schtiel

    excited. in-progress hauberk is now long enough to weigh itself down when worn, and it fits nicely. probably work on sleeves next and then just add the rest on the bottom and see if i need more rings later.

    1. Zeroignite

      Zeroignite

      What material/ringsize/weave?

    2. Schtiel

      Schtiel

      mild steel, 18g 3/16, e4-1

  15. Schtiel

    so i finally got around to cleaning off the rest of my last order of mild steel. nothing to stop me from finishing my hauberk now... except that i'm in the middle of a book trilogy since i had run out of clean rings =|

    1. Zeroignite

      Zeroignite

      I wonder what'd happen if you took a hauberk to a dry cleaner.

  16. Schtiel

    order arrived today. now i get to clean the rust off all 16lbs. of rings =\
