Welcome to the The Reading-York Imperial Knights, Chris! cool

Kendo. Very cool. Always wanted to study it. Was checking out the school in Phila for a while, but I would have to quit my job to find the time.. frustrated

Boy, does that sound like a plan! thinking

I did teach Kendo for about 2 years while living in NJ. I really did prefer Iaido and Naginata though. I was right outside NYC so I studied with the JSS (Japanese Swordsmanship Society) I do miss having that option now that we live in rural PA. But in any case I have a Canon XL 1s Camera among other resources and was hoping at some point in the future of putting a fan film project together, as well as other non-fan film related ideas. Not sure how many other folks locally would be interested. In any case, what kind of excitement do we have going on around here?

As for costumes, I'll see what I can do to help you out. Is there anyone else interested in costuming?


I am not only interested in costuming, I have been building up resources for some time now, including an old industrial 3 thread Merrow serger sewing machine, and two older machines (one straight stitch and the other capable of single/double needle fashion stitches) I also have a pretty good collection of fabrics built up too. I already have the materials together to build a vaccu-forming table, just need the time and interest level long enough to put it together.

Welcome, Chris! Always glad to see more people signing up!

If you get that vac-table together, I know a few of us would be willing to put it to good use! grin

To be honest I have been putting it off till after we redo our kitchen, since I want to replace the electric stove with gas, I will keep the old electric stove for heating the ABS sheets and baking/curing latex. But I have every intention of sharing resources with anyone interested.

While I do work in the Reading area, I live an hour north , but you are still the closest group for me. A mill and Lathe are on my list of tools eventually as well. Any suggestions for local sources of plastic sheets for Vac-forming?

I would love to get back into the kendo, if given the space. My Bogu misses me... I still have about 30 shinai and boken, always had extra for the students lacking the equipment/funds and I have no trouble sharing. Some day in the future I may teach martial arts regularly again, I do need to get back into shape again (other than round, which although a shape, isn't the best shape)

Let me be the first to say 'Welcome to the group' Scott. It's good to have you, we have several things we're kicking around right now. Feel free to jump into the fray though.

Scott has actually been with us for a while, just really late in dropping into that Thread tongue

I would have posted stuff sooner but the message board wasn't working for me. It appears to be fixed now.

Tamy

Welcome to the group,

Sorry for the slow response, just been a busy week for all of us I think. We got a lot of things in the works, make sure to chime in with any ideas or opinions on the other threads as well. We are a friendly group, and most don't bite.
