All shields are cut and drilled. All thats left is bends, hole punch, straps, padding and handles. But I dare say the bulk of the work is done

@Adam TX How many total shields do we have cut out so far?

Idk how many are with you, but I have 13 with me

I think you have 10. Correct?

maybe more

I have 14 with me if I use my template as a shield

I am not sure precisely how many we have, there are 10 in the images from the drilling so let's say 10.

Do you want me to use the template shield?

Also, will we need to make more shields after this?

We need 30 total.

So yes, we will need more

How much money do you need?

The material for the handles will be another $35 I think and the sheets of steel are 150 if I recall properly

Right now all I've got is $42 from Samuel

Don't need to know what you have, just what you need. Aggregate. Total number to finish the shields.

In order to finish what we have right now all I need are 3 sticks of steel which cost $16 a peice. I already sent the dimensions to Patrick

Double checked them this time

No more steel sheets? Thought we needed one more?

We need 1 more if we are to bring our total shield number up to 30

So how much total money do you need still, all supplies included, to get to 30?

I'll find out for ya really quick

In order to get 30 we will need 4 sticks of steel and 1 sheet of steel

Any more straps, foam, paracord, bolts?

We do need to make those amendments to all shields, with the strap connecting up top and the additional padding on the inside of the visor.

I think I have enough bolts, if not i could easily run to the hardware store. Pretty sure I have the padding and strap material. Like 90% i know 100% tbat I have enough to finish the batch I have now

I need to come by either Sunday or Monday to work on shields at your place.

and I'm pretty sure i don't have enough paracord. I'll pick some up tomorrow or something

As far as connecting the straps up top, I'll need to talk with you about it at ypur place as you have the sewing machine

So what's the total dollars I need to give you to get 30 shields all done up to specs?

Well to be honest its probably best tbat it goes to Patrick as he needs to pick up the steel anyways and thats the bulk of the cost, but off the top of my head it looks like it will be another $190 or so to get to 30

$200, thank you. I will send it with Patrick.

I'll do the math and see if I need to buy anymore padding or strap material now.

But I dont think I will

Wrong. I do need more, idk if the strap material will be able to arrive of time, but Im sure I can get the foam to. I'll search around for strap alternatives that will arrive on time

I already have the money i need so don't worry about that.

Scratch that, I just ordered the few remaining things I needed and they'll all be here on time.

I'll just have to really work my ass off to have it done

So $200 is what you need?

@Thomas what paint are we using? I'd rather paint the shields before we put the handles on. Actually, screw it. I'll be over this Saturday

There's a zero percent chance that we don't bring 30 shields to the event.

Pat is going to handle the painting.

You need to help him, though.

Yeah, 200$ should cover it. Its all in steel costs btw

I updated my list of available stencils. I added two new ones which have served my network well for making banners.
