and DO try not to gloat over your purchases/bargains/trades/illicit gains...OK? :)
 
for the Khon. I'm sure it'll be a blast!

I am packing the med kit, what with all the edged stuff around. The way Pen sharpens things, I feel like I might get cut just standing next to him! :D;):D

That reminds me...I guess I better write up a hold harmless agreement, eh?
 
Yep, a waiver might be in order, especially with:

Cutting tests/demos (we could require a thong for safety of bystanders, and exercise "strict fire discipline.")

Wood cutting

MA practice with DIJ's video

With all the sword bashing I do, I'm the waiver signing monkey. apparently insurance co's are not into people willingly bashing each other with wooden swords in armor.

Ferrous, I got a very interesting mental image when I read your post about requiring a "thong" for safety, until I realized you meant thong as in lanyard. Er, that is what you meant, right :p :D

SCA? or random psychopath
 
Ferrous in a thong ("for safety" of course). Great googly-moogly, what a mental image! Must drown it with beer... :D

Erm, thanks for explaining that one, I was worried for a moment. I thought maybe he meant something like a cricket box (or a baseball cup to you folks) which would probably be just as valuable. Maybe the naked chef's amongst you should bring the cast iron apron used by all true maitres d'cuisine!

Have fun guys, those of us who are either an ocean away or working are envious and are eagerly awaiting pics!
 
I combined a thong and my khuks with a six pack of Guinness one weekend. Now my neighbors won't look me in the eye.....neophytes:D Maybe it IS time to go see a doctor;)

I thought he meant a butt thong too!
I suppose you could tie the khukuri to a real thong and if you screw up, then it pulls your undies off, exposing your shortcomings to the world!
 
Was SCA, but I have sinnce graduated to Random Psychopath/hoplophile/WMA-ist.

Thong--er, yeah. Lanyard....right.:D:D:D;)

Everyone was quite safe and mindful of space and sharp weapons. Everyone there had much respect for/awareness of others.

Ferrous- Thank you for not mentioning my discovery of the "mechanically-assisted throwing-khukuri" technique. :o :eek: :footinmou

Well I certainly wasn't going to mention it......but since ya brought it up...:D

Of course, since I got bit by a Bura AK while picking up a Pen knife I ain't got much room to talk. :D
 
I don't think anyone but Nasty managed to keep from getting cut or scraped sometime this weekend MacHete, so don't feel bad. I got slapped in the face by a belt while I was putting the edge on my new (incidental gloating alert) 25" Kobra. :D Thank God for safety glasses. :cool:
 
Don't get me wrong~ I'm proud to have discovered this new technique. I just realize that it is far too lethal for use by regular laymen. I will entrust its deadly secrets to Danny in Japan, who is uniquely qualified to handle such devastating knowledge. To the rest of you who witnessed the event, I strongly suggest you forget what you've seen. :eek: (cue ominous music.)
 
I had the unique position and opportunity to have actually seen the test shot from launch to...er...um...nevermind, I forget what I was talking about.

Public safety announcement

When the directions say to ensure that no one is standing in line with a drill press mounted, tightly sewn 5" buffing wheel running at about 2500 rpm and charged with white buffing compound for the purpose of bringing back the mirror polish (exceeding it actually), they mean it.

Public Safety Announcement complete

I was *very* satisfied this weekend to see *all* of the guys here follow the rules and demonstrate the greatest concern and respect for the other guys...I'm sure their good shop safety awareness is the reason we did *not* have any major issues!
 
Nasty, I was impressed with everyone's awareness of safety issues too. After 3 years of sitting through a "safety briefing" from the Army every time we so much as walk across the street, it was great to see simple common sense be the rule of the day. All of the unspoken safety rules were followed to the letter, it was a great thing to see.
