After the Silence


Greetings, one and all! So, this has been a full week. Starting out, the back and gut plates for the armor have been finished. However, this underscored some problems with the ribs, which is leading me down a troubleshooting rabbit hole, so… fun? On top of that, the wood scales for the stunt kindjal hilts have been cut out, and now must be shaped. Also, we seem to be prototyping a medallion of sorts…




Last, but not least, the surprise...
While we had been preparing for a reunion of the stunt team, our county hitting phase one of reopening came rather suddenly. There are limitations, of course, vague terms like “local” in the reopening guidelines led us to err on the side of caution, (including things like grouping sparring partners by family or household,) but a good part of the stunt team returned this week, looking like the cheerfully aspiring minions they are.




To my great pleasure, all I had to say was “Grab your swords,” and they immediately started running through all the drilling they needed to get back up to speed after ten weeks away. They may look young, but they’re pros.

Well, that’s about all for this week. Until next time!
