The targes I saw as a child all had a spike in the cup,, what saythe rabble
My targe has a detachable spike. It threads into the boss, which is nice because it isn't able to be used by the safty standards of the group I spar with.
Keep your rings charged, pleats in the back, and stay geeky!

Nice work, I like the part of sparring with your daughter, good for both of you.
I may try my hand at this targe project, for my son and I.
Thank you. I highly recommend making one, it doesnt cost too much and is a lot of fun.
To make a sparing targe, the ones we normally use, I used 1/2 inch chip board and put a gate handle on the back, an old belt works good for the strap. Goodwill is the place to go for old belts. Its amazing how much fun you can have with little.
I actually really like the Sgian Dubh.. I like its' simplicity and form. I've done a bit of tempering and sword polishing. That's a great project. Thanks for sharing.
Simple is what I was going for. I dont really like all the bling seen now'a days. If its functional and well made, its good enough for me.
