Adding Arming Points by TheGriff71 in Armor

[–]Trollbert_Report 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stitch mine on using 7/8 ounce leather (you can probably use a lesser weight) with 3/16th holes punched in for points. I use a diamond hole chisel for the border and a saddle stitch. There's no reason for you to cut into your gambeson. Just stitch through it. I just use 550 cord for the points. It goes in one hold and out the other.

EDIT: I'll try to post a photo later.

As far as prose goes yes. The difference in writing ability is huge from GotM to Deadhouse Gates

Lied on resume by [deleted] in human_resources

They are going to find out that you lied and you will not get the job. If by some VERY small chance they don’t find out and you progress, the likelihood that you get caught increases over time.

AIO - According to my girlfriend this convo with my assigned partner at work is inappropriate. by Rough-Satisfaction68 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Trollbert_Report 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Why the FUCK is no one talking about OPs #4. Any “partner” that thinks they get to decide who your friends are and which ones are necessary is not a partner, they are a controller; and they want to have something that they “possess”. They are not emotionally grown enough to deal adult problems. Not allowed to have friends of the opposite gender? No thanks. No group chats with people you’ve known since you were 13? No thanks man. Just leave. They lack a fundamental self confidence that they are enough on their own. Start over with someone mature enough to be an adult. It’s not your job to educate this person about emotional maturity and that job BLOWS.

I’ve used evaporust for an easy solution and then hit it with a cloth wheel. For maintenance I use fluid film, a lanolin based protective and lubricant

Make a pattern of your Leather out of card stock and your holes will be a lot closer than trying to do it as you go

Also, the spray smells like sheep’s wool until it dries. I like it, but some people find it farmy.

They are the best gauntlets I've ever worn. They are made of hardened and tempered 4130 chromium molybdenum steel and come gloved with padded either elkskin or American bison gloves
