Okay as the title says I want to formally issue a huge thank you to Alan H. and Yaish, because of your two words of encouragment and your posts on equipment and training I have spent the better part of this weekend putting the fininshing touches on my highland games equipment. I now have a hammer with chain head weights, a 40#weight for distance and over the bar. A breamer and a open stone and should pick up a 25-28#weight this week from a friend who is welding it up for me. The only thing left is a caber and that is in the works. Hopefully Ayin will start training with me and he can post some pictures. Again thank you guys for the help and encouragement.
