Arrowhead Pride's name sealed in ..... brass?

thewaffle1 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:47:23 -0000

Well hey its Waffle again.

I've been a member of AP for a while now, although i dont comment or post much. I thought i would make something as a "Token of appreciation" for AP and everyone who contributes to making it as great as it is. ( Pun intended )

This time I made a coin, I litterally made this coin completely out of scratch. This is a painfull process it takes.

-making a design (1day)

-cutting and rounding a a plexiglass coin (2 days)

-engraving design onto plexiglass coin (2 days)

-making a mould in sand with plexiglass coin (30 min)

-torching and pouring liquid brass into mould (10 min)

-Filing coin untill smoothe (2 weeks)

-Sanding coin untill Smoothe(r)/ shiny (1 week)

-rounding coin (2 days)

-buffing coin ( 4 days)

so basically this process sucked. But i think it was totally worth it, i hope you all do too.

I know the letters arent perfect, but its freaking hard to get a perfect mould. I in no way am saying that i am a professional, or even any good at this. I just made it for fun, save the harsh critisism because i really dont care.

Long live the chiefs! and AP!

Arrowhead Pride Ventrilo?

thewaffle1 — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 17:08:22 -0000

For those that don't know, ventrilo is a program thats like a big chat room where people can join. But instead of typing, we can all talk with microphones. Wouldnt it be great if we could get a ventrilo server, and use it to hang out , talk football, and chat while we watch our chiefs play? The problem is that you have to pay to open up a server, and i dont even have a job. I can open a free one, but it would only have enough room for like 8 people, and i know we have plently more than that.

So yeah this idea sort of came to me a second ago, but tell me what you think.

Apparently they got into a scuffle and Tom just socked him in the face.

Who wants a Custom Handmade Pen?

thewaffle1 — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 05:49:45 -0000

I've been meaning to make this post for a while, but i was gone all weekend on a trip and what not. I know a thing or two about woodworking, and i thought it would be a good idea to start making some custom handmade pens for our AP users. I can have anything you like engraved in them. Here are a few pictures of some pens i've made ( note these are old, so they lost alot of their shine, yours will be alot glossier)

^^ this one is actually two different woods.

These pens are DECENT. Family keeps taking my good ones, but pictures dont really do these pens justice. The gloss and buff job i do on these really brings out the beautiful details in the grain. These pens also have no engravings. so this post is to get a feel for how many people really want one. I cant start until like September/ October time. But yeah i can make them to your specification of length, wood color, Ink color, design, anything.

Hey AP look what i made

Hey AP, well this was my project for wood shop, I'm a junior in High school. Been a Chiefs fan all my life while living in the heart of Raider country. This table is 100% hand built by me. I measured, cut, sanded, oiled every part of this table. The letters and the symbol aren't painted or stickered. I free hand drew the arrowhead and the Letters, and then routed them out a quater inch, then filled it with red plastic. The reason theres such a big space between the I and the E is because the table acually folds down the middle. I guess this is a table ill be eating my hotwings on while watching the game stats on my computer haha , cant get any chiefs games out here :(. So tell me what you think guys.

Lions sign stafford

thewaffle1 — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 03:03:26 -0000

i just saw it on sportscenter, its not a big contract, nothing close to matt ryans.

but its for 6 years 41.6million..

we can defidantly get curry now, but will we? who knows... alot of new mock drafts believe we are taking tyson jackson out of LSU.. i like jackson, but i dont think hes worth #3 pick money

apparently no one is interested in any of the top 5 picks.. so who knows if we can trade down

Shonn Greene

thewaffle1 — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 06:57:42 -0000

well, most of us agree that LJ isnt really who we want in the backfield, maybe its just me IDK. But theres a kid entering the draft named Shonn Greene, ive been watching some highlight videos, and hes pretty damn good.

idk if its alredy been posted or not, but if were on the clock in the 2nd round, and hes still up on the boards... we shouldnt hesitate to take him.

just my 2 cents.. thoughts?
