I'm glad I could be of help Has anyone tried this out yet I wold like to know how you found my instructions or if you are having problems. If you have any problems I will try and help

I'm thinking giving a try with plastic... I don't know the name you give it, but it's the same kind of net but made of plastic. The difference in appearance is that the olastic "lines" are all at the same level and the wire is one above the other. The wire allows bending (well, the plastic allows it also if eated) and may be good for a crossbow, but the plastic one gives better swords... This is what I'm thinking, I'll see what I can do next week. I need some hardware for a smithy!
