Hello all,
@Battara: whilst looking at some wooden odds and ends and formulating a quick process on how to setup and route my eye kept resting on the wooden wall boards which had been set aside as they had a bit of wet rot on the bottom. As I'm usually in a rush I decided for a quick and dirty option of using the solid board with an opening in the bottom. But I'm still formulating a breakaway scabbard using some plywood and a router but I'll save that for the other 2 kampilans as I'd need to approach the project with a bit more TLC.
@AGMaisey: Hello Mr Maisey, thanks for the info re the scabbard. You helped me out a year or two ago with some tips on protocol and etiquette for my trip to Malaysia which was greatly appreciated and very helpful. I am hoping to visit Empu Mazin on my next visit. On one of my visits he was finishing off a keris panjang which was a work of art and I would like to talk to him about them. This time without my kiddies chasing chickens and cats into the bush.
