Craftsmanship: Doing What You Love and Doing It Right. I've felt this way for a long time about all the things I've built/made. I've actually been in/around construction since I was like 6 years old, and almost all of my jobs have been manual labor of one sort or another (usually HVAC/R, but last summer I did some plumbing). I never really enjoyed that sort of stuff because it wasn't something I was interested in, but on the occasions where I was able to use the knowledge I gained to make something myself, it was awesome. I'd say the sorts of things that I make nowadays are almost exclusively foam weaponry (a la [www.edhellen.com]). Making my own weapons has lots of benefits aside from just really enjoying the process, too. If anyone's curious, I typically associate myself with Belegarth, but I've been to plenty of Dagorhir stuff too since it's pretty much the same thing with a few relatively minor rule differences.

Source: by Charles Karadimos In: by Cozy Baker There are 2 basic systems of mirrors in kaleidoscopes, the 2-mirror which produces one central image and the 3-mirror which produces images reflected throughout the entire field of view. Both are set up in a triangular configuration-in a tube similar to a prism. Considering the 2-mirror system first, the 2 mirrors are arranged in a "V" with the third side of the triangle a blackened, non-reflective surface.
Circle with center 0-Mirrors OA and OB. So, starting with a 90 o angle, the image produced would have 4 fold symmetry (FIG 2). The 3-mirror system reacts similarly to the 2-mirror with one major exception. Again it is important that the mirrors be set at an angle which can be evenly divided into the 360 o of the circle; such as 90 o , which divides into 360 o 4 times, or: 60 o which divides 6 times 45 o which divides 8 times 36 o which divides 10 times 30 o which divides 12 times Tapered systems provide interesting results.
