| | | | (...) Another dandy piece, if you don't mind a little cutting and pasting, can be made from the 2x2 round convex tiles. Cut a little length of shaft from anything you have handy and glue it to the back between the studs. [Ducking the bricks, (...) (23 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | (...) Excellent ideas with the taps; I hadn't thought of that. I think I prefer the shaft method if only because it holds the shield closer to the hand. Now I have to think about all the other "taps as handles" applications. My latest implement of (...) (23 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.castle)
