    Re: Practicing sheaf

    I made my 2-tine fork a few weeks ago out of an old 5-tine that I had in the garage, and took it to the Queen Mary Games in Long Beach earlier this month. A couple guys that I practice with liked it so much that they both bought 5-tine forks yesterday after practice and we had a tine cutting/grinding BBQ! Now for more practice!

    We're all thinking of picking up a 3-tine to practice with as well, just in case we hit a game somewhere that requires it. But no real hurry for that yet.


    * edit - It kind of fun to customize this tool of the trade...My fork was sprayed with black metallic flake auto paint with several coats of clear coat. One of my friends covered his in duck tape with flame print, and the other friend hasn't decorated his yet...not sure how crazy he will get.
