boyswillbeboys3 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I have been working on my fist TK for the almost 1 month now. My mentor Brian Gelb and I, have my torso and arms almost done. This is what we have so far. I would love any and all suggestions on any improvements I can make. Thanks Manda 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koryu1212(Dan D) Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Looks great! Tip on the hand plates...I have a set of Nomex Flight gloves; since they are “flame resistant” I took a heat gun to my plates and basically, with my nomex gloves, formed them to the back of my hands......then, I sewed nylon strapping to the elastic prior to CA gluing to the hand plate; the nylon is so the glue can bond to the abs...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyswillbeboys3 Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 I shortened my forearms 1/2 inch and added an elasctic strip between them and my biceps. Now I don't get pinched when I bend my arms and the forearm doesn't fall to my hands. I really like the way your hand plates are formed to you. Great tip! I will see if Brian will be willing to help me with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
