| Forgot to post a description.
These bracers are real bruisers. Weighing a full pound each, they are constructed of 8-9oz tooling leather as the base material dyed USMC black with three, 1/8th inch strips of steel riveted to the strike surface. The wrist is reinforced with a second piece of 8-9oz leather for added protection. The elbow guard flares outward for maximum arm movement.

| Awsome. Commissions are accepted but keep in mind that they may be higher in price. When I make something just because it's rattling around in my head and I want to see it made real I generall sell it on the cheap. Commissions, because they are more like actual work, won't be as cheap. Still a heck of lot less than you'd find them elsewhere though. I am always interested in hearing ideas though. If i find myself inspired by an idea you may just see it made real. That's what happened with these bracers. Gadgetastic! |

| Those look sweet. I've been looking for some good bracers and greaves but most I've com across aren't worth the high price. I've got a few questions: 1) Can you make a pair of "ninja" style bracers like the ones below but with some metal also across the forearm for more defensive/offensive manuevers?   2) If so can you make a pair of greaves to match? 3) If so can you make the bracers in a navy blue dye and the greaves in a black dye? 4) If so what $$$ amount would be an estimate? |

| Funny you should post those pictures. Those are the very bracers I meant when I said that "bracers of this quality normally sell for over $200 online." I will look into it. It's a neat idea and Navy Blue is possible with leather.

| Cool. The ones in the pics are nice but I dislike how they forewent putting metal on the arms in favor of the bo shuriken holders.

| The more I look at those bracers, the more they intrigue me. Tell ya what, I'll just go ahead and make a set in Navy Blue and if you like 'em you can buy 'em. If not, then I'll just throw them up on my website and eventually someone else will pick them up.

| If anyone wants the bracers #2, let me know. I'll let them go for $50 because I need the money for my next project and I'm eager to get started.

Cool. I think it's safe to say that I'll be wanting to buy them. |

| Those bracers look dope!! I have to mention it here,
My friend White Baron, made himself a pair of bracers out of a large, thick piece of white plumbing plastic!!! He wanted absolute protection at any angle around the forearm and they actually work!! I know, because we tested them last night out on patrol!!! My hand still hurts!!! |
