This is my last thread tonight I promise.

All I cut with my sword are sticks and on occasion a cardboard box.
Boxes are light and aquard to cut, and if im cutting sticks there either twigs or give me the feeling im takeing years of my swords life.

What do you guys cut?
What do you set your materials on?

Thanks.

Pumpkins and pork shoulders are always fun.

I cut rolled and soaked grass mats quite a bit but they're not too terribly challenging targets. Fun though!

A vareity of things,

plastic milk and juice jugs - pumpkins - watermellons are fun - various large squash - Meat rolled around a wooden dowel or pvc pipe with a plastic wrapped skin - grass mats - bundles of green willows (since I can't get green bamboo in Ut) - rolled and soaked newspaper - etc.

laters.

OK, so pretty much whatevers lying around.

What about how you cut it? any special stand you use?
Do you have the pumkins at chest level or just on the ground?

Thanks.

Well, since targets are found at different levels, use many different ideas, but most will be attempts to cut properly at the head level if possible--so you need to build a cutting stand or use a fence post or whatever you can create

cheers

I use a cutting stand that I build that is adjustable in height. It can go from waist level to head level quickly and easily.
