superbfor point control, what you see is a milk crate (UK only i think ;-) ) at chest level, with pegs attached. The Crate is at Chest Level, and when you get a touch on the peg it rotates 90 degrees (due to the fact that the milk crate struts are long and thin)

Note the pegs on the side for flicks.

trained point work for about 2 hours... neighbours were staring well hehehe.. I think they think that a fencer is something to do with garden perimeters...

Oh good, I was right.
I wasn't really sure what the heck I was looking at when you sent me that picture...

Two collages. I have SUCH a pun for that...sadly it has lewd overtones so I must refrain.

where did you go, i really did make two collages, they're great, i used stuff from vogue magazine, but they have nothing to do with fencing, may i go on.....?

okay, fencing is an art, fencing is an artistic expression, i'm on a 4month sabbatical from fencing, which is probably good, since i never really rested from surgery, so it'll give me time to completely recuperate, then i'll go back to it, but after my trip to japan, which is in october. thanks.

undoubtedly at the hideousness of the creation ;-)

We have milk crates in the States as well, just in better states of repair :-) Usually they contain milk containers of various kinds. A variation would be to leave the milk cartons in the crate, which would make successful attacks more evident. Using cartons of cherry drink would be more theatrical, but no more effective.
