Fight practice
We had a great practice last night despite the cold. Kein, Eleanor, Ioannes, Ysfael a new guy named Miklos from Fynon Gath and I all fought until we couldn't feel our feet.
I made some progress attaching brass edging to my legs before realizing that the "solid brass" that I'd bought was only "solid brass" for a bout 1/64th of an inch, then some kind of zinc or nickel, and another thin sheet of brass stuck to the other side. So it's soft, and damaged irreparably if it's ever scratched or even polished agressively. Silver colored metal shines through. There should be a new (and unreasonably expensive) sheet of brass from McMaster-Car waiting for me when I get home.
