Rockwell Classical Fencing

The problem with being a weekend warrior hobby jobshop is that sometimes you sink a whole day into either fixing or tuning equipment. Or learning a new piece of software. Good news is that after this, stuff actually works pretty well... Till you break it again. Also... Sheetcam works way better than straight importing DXFs into my CNC software.

Howdy folks!
The world is getting more and more annoying when it comes to shipping costs, material costs, and material availability. Our current stockpile of orders is getting increasingly long, and our wait times are getting higher . Due to all this I've decided to shut down orders for the remainder of the summer and work through getting all our current orders out the door.
Email and messages still working if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Castings day! 🇺🇸

So something wonderful and unexpected showed up today. This is fantastic news for a lot you all waiting on orders. Our latest order of blades arrived. Why this is surprising is that Dynamo/HF armory is in Ukraine. I had placed this order several months ago, and got word from Dynamo the Friday before the invasion that they were shipping out Monday. Honestly, I had expected to never see this order. I have already been starting to work on modifications to sport foils to allow me to continue processing orders, eating the extra labor on my end. The money I spent on this order I had hoped would do someone over there good in some way. Low and behold 2 weeks ago HK messaged me... Apologizing that the order had not gotten shipped and that the general manager had himself, located the order and personally gotten it to the post office for delivery. He requested that if we had any other needs to please contact them, that they're trying to work and make money for all their employees. So... Folks I'd love for you all to let me know if you need a blade, or two, or five. I can't honestly say that you'll ever see what you buy. But go on HF armories site and take a look, they have a lot of different options available in terms of blades and weapons. If you got some cash lying about send me a DM, and in the next week or two I'm going to put together as big of an order as I can. Rockwell has been buying blades from these folks as long as we've been around. I'd love to be some part of helping these good folk out in anyway I can.

Finished and going out to customer. PoB 5.25in

Bronze backstraps, Brass pommel nut to bring the PoB back around where my antique is. As near to 1:1 as I can go for reasonable $.

Sometimes after trying to make something work and failing, you just have to step back and change what you're doing. This grip got carved 2 times and poured (2 part epoxy twice) each time during assembly the grip cracked. Finally decided to go with phenolic for the grip. Final assembly coming up.
