COVID can't stop me now! *Note: I JUST moved in, so don't mind the mess (I prioritized play space). ​​​​​​

I just wanted to give you all a heads up that there are a few table tennis tables listed for 20% off during the current Amazon Prime Day sales - I'm not sure if these tables are on sale outside of the United States however. I know they're not ideal tournament quality tables, but I think they're...

As a blade-maker, I'm always experimenting with new techniques. Ever heard of fire-hardened blades?

That is a superb looking blade - very clean work on every component. Great composition and weight, too. I can only imagine how nicely it plays (since you know how much I love the yellow-pine/Larch medial plies)!

A few new blades I've recently completed: Blade 3 (105g): Blade Composition: AlaskanYellowCedar - Carbon/Kevlar - BlackLimba - Kiri(core) - BlackLimba - Carbon/Kevlar - AlaskanYellowCedar Handle: Osage Orange, Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Walnut

A few new blades I've recently completed: Blade 2 (104g): Blade Composition: Koto - EuroLarch - SitkaSpruce(core) - EuroLarch - Koto Handle: Walnut

😄 Not true! I'm actually moving somewhere I can actually be a part of the sport for the first time in half-a-decade. I've built up a library of usable blades, so maybe I step away from blade-making for a bit while I actually get a chance to use them all! 😉

What's the top sheet like?

I'm excited for you to get his blade - I want to know how it is! I'm tempted to buy a blade from Sergio too because he does great work and I know he has some materials that I don't have access to. I'm happy that Mas got a blade from him too (since I couldn't build him what he wanted) - what...

Thanks for all that feedback! I'm thrilled that it performed as well as I hoped it would.

I'm excited for you to slap some rubber sheets onto the blade and find out how she plays!

It's looking like it should get in tomorrow (Wednesday, April 14th)! If you're keeping with the McDonald's menu naming theme, I think you should name it "40 piece Chicken McNuggets".

I'm on the Oregon Coast, just about 2 hours north of the California border. I would think that you'd have access to some pretty nice Redwood, since it grows in abundance between where I'm at and Sacramento (though the old-growth stuff is getting harder to find). I just happened to get lucky that...
