Compromises….. part 2
Plastic lamellar. Ugh.
The brown ones pass the 10 foot rule (they look like leather if you squint). I ordered two bags of the “Auk” plates over the weekend, they were shipped on Monday, and arrived Thursday. The only issue I have with them is the little sharp points from where the plastic is injected. It isn’t a big deal to use an Xacto to scrape it off, which I heartily recommend doing. I was sitting on the couch in shorts, lacing them up. My thigh felt a little strange, and that was when I noticed how scratched it was. So, already having 120 of them laced, I scraped them. All David could say was “wow, coooo.” Hehe And, in the course of one evening (about 3 hours of work) I already have the 200 laced up. That was with figuring out how to do it. I anticipate that it will go much more quickly now that I have the hang of it. Time to order more.
Did I mention this is getting expensive? Anyone need any jewelry? ;-P
