| Mug with a Pistol Grip
This is not exactly what i had in mind when i saw the title, but another sign that fencers are taking over the universe. http://www.boingboing.net/2007/02/24...with_a_pi.html |

| But that is pistol grip for a gun, not that of a sword...though I must admit that it would be fun to have a mug with a sword grip on it. Maybe the commercialized industry could finally do something smart!

It's not required for my degree (computer graphics) but I loved doing it in high school and miss it, so I'll probably take a class over the summer or in the fall semester for fun.

| If there was a mug with a fencing pistol grip, as a joke, I would challenge people at my club using that mug.
If I lose an eye, that would be my fault... but it'll be worth it.

| Do you even need to make it ceramic. Just affix a pistol grip to a mug and paint it over? | |

|  You could... but that's one less pistol grip I can use on my weapons... and it's heavy and expensive (relatively, compared to clay)
If you were to do that, I recommend using JB weld. That's gooood stuff.

I think it would be better to throw all pistol grips -and everything concerning foil and *gulp* epee- into a big trash incinerator...

Thanks for the great idea for a pointless doodle!

| Could you do one with the grip and guard as normal with a mug bit shaped like the guard but further away.
