Updated photography

[Sir Edward]

I finally got around to taking pictures of the last 6 months of weapon acquisitions... I decided to take advantage of the cloudy weather today and take some outdoor shots...

They're all clickable to see the rest of the photos for each one.

Hey, that one's my favorite fantasy sword.

Yeah, mine too. I'd been debating getting one for years and had just never gotten around to it.

[Sir Wolf]

sweet. I'm jealous

[Das Bill]

You know, now that its getting warmer, we need to start playing with our javelins more often. Between you, Pamela, David and I, we've got a fair number of them, and those things are FUN.

[Sir Edward]

Absolutely. I need a chance to really figure out how to throw the darn things. I was sorta getting it last time, but only got it right, with it sticking into the pumpkin, a couple of times.

[Sword Chick]

Hey Ed!  You did color the grip on your Meyer!     What method did you end up using?

Those some of them are still in a state of disrepair.  They still need a new shaft.

Hey Ed!  You did color the grip on your Meyer!     What method did you end up using?

I painted on the Rit dye... I don't think it really dyed in, but rather mostly dried on the surface. I think most of it will come off very quickly. The cord was repelling it, though it started to go in a little better when I tried mixing it with alcohol.

[Sword Chick]

Looks good in the picture. 

[Sir Edward]

Yeah, except you can see a light spot that already started to form from leaning it up against things.   

[Sir Wolf]

what is the handle covered with? i've got some blue leather dye.

[Sir Edward]

I have some too. It's cord-wrapped, not leather, so I figured I'd try the Rit dye. I may dye it again with the leather dye later.

[Das Bill]

They still need a new shaft.

Yer dayyyum right. [enter Isaac Hayes on wah guitar]

I may dye it again with the leather dye later.

I used leather dye on my grip, and it worked great. Of course, it took a couple of weeks before it would stop staining my hands whenever I used it.
