Meet Chuckies 1-12...

RE: Meet Chuckies 1-12...
MORE PRACTISE!

I'm getting back into the swing of this knife-throwing, now. The picture shows many knives inside circles that are the size of the lid I took from a Smash mashed spud tub, and the circles are smaller.

It still took me a long time to get 3 in each of those used circles, though, with later knives banging into the wood and shaking out the earlier ones. I must get away from plywood. Somebody gave me some old wooden shelves that were going to be otherwise thrown away and the different between plywood and solid wood is amazing, but they won't last forever.

I wish I could get some joisting or cut-shorter railway sleepers.

As you can see in the attached picture, I've also got a mess to clean up, every few days.

TOMORROW, I should be taking delivery of 3 Gil' Hibben 8 inch throwers, from Blades UK (tend to buy knives only from there, to be honest, often because of how good he is to repeat customers) and I'll have to re-negotiate noise making terms with at least one neighbour, because those 3 Gil' Hibbens are heavier. I love a challenge, though.

Practise, practise, practise!
