It's time again for some Kydex crafting. Join us for another CKDF-hosted crafting session to make various armor plates to augment your protective gear. The focus will be on forearm protection, but mainly we will be learning what Kydex is, how it helps keep us safe in HEMA, and how to safely and successfully work with it.
Event Details & Rules:
Participants only need to bring their own Kydex. Recommend at least one 12" x 24" or two 12" x 12" sheets, in .080" thickness (.060" is too thin, .10" is too hard to work with).
Many vendors sell Kydex, easiest source is Amazon; please order well in advance of event to ensure you can bring the Kydex you will need.
Event organizers will provide all tools, but personal safety glasses, face mask, and gloves are required.
Additional fasteners to fix Kydex to protective gear will be required - event organizers will have some basic materials on hand, but fasteners are best made to individual taste.
Please be ready to help clean up when done.
If armor besides forearm guards are desired, please contact John Durish via the CKDF Facebook group, or as "Ogon" in CKDF Discord.
No food or beverages (aside from water) are allowed in the training space.
Alcohol is prohibited at this event. This is a safety precaution as well as respecting the rented space Brazen has provided.
