A customer who already owned a 36cm globe asked for this Whittaker base (usually paired with a 50cm globe) to be adapted for his smaller globe. Shown here with a few different colours. The globe spins 360 degrees in a fluid motion by hand and can be easily lifted from the base.

“Inhaler” by Foals
This is the first single off their new album “Holy Fire”, which will be released in February 2013. Foals’s new sound has been receiving criticism for not sounding “math” enough, but I actually quite like it.
What I absolutely love about this video are the scenes of all the people moving in sequence. I love such mass choreography, as it really has an impact on the viewer.
The introductory beat is so quirky, that one cannot help but love it. I feel that the intro, the verses and the outro of “Inhaler” sound much better than the actual chorus. To be honest, I feel that the screaming in the chorus is highly unnecessary, as it throws the song completely off balance. There, I said it: I dislike the chorus. This does not mean that I am criticizing the song as a whole, but I am rather complimenting its amazingly crafted and delicate introduction, verses and outro.
How cool is Yannik Philippakis’s outfit? I love its originality and how it makes him stand out. I kind of wish it made him sing an alternate chorus, though…
The imagery in this video is highly innovative and creative: the uses of tattoos and various intricate designs will really appeal to individuals who appreciate attention to detail (such as myself).
All in all: this is a great video to a great song (minus the chorus).
Sticks and stones don’t break my bones, you make believe
It’s lock and load, it’s a dead end road to you and me
You know what’s to go, I’m strict for soul
I make believe
And I’m off the rent, I haven’t spent, I guaranteeSo can you not go away
If just for one day
Uh-uh-uh
Impossible, possible way
How would you do know
How’d you do now?
Run away
War sounds in you
Don’t throw your fortune away
And I can’t get enough
Space, space, space
Get enough spaceI’m pale and coy
I’m almost born, I make believe
I shimmy-shake, I wake and bake,
I’m over me
I lost the beat, I can not breathe
Don’t follow me
You ush and shove, I’ve had enough,
Don’t mess with meSo can you not go away
If just for one day
Uh-uh-uh
Impossible, ṗossible way
How would you do know
How’d you do now?
Run away
War sounds in you
Don’t throw your fortune away
And I can’t get enough
Space,
I can’t Get enough space

First project of the year: lamellar. I have a massive soft spot for eastern armour and Rus style, but never really get a chance to wear it because we’re stuck pretty firmly in the XIVth century. When we had a night off I took the opportunity to throw together a kit and get on the field. The only thing I was really missing was gauntlets. I took most inspiration from the 11th century.
We’ve had this lamellar stuff lying around the craft room for years, and I’m always stubbing my toes on it. They’re 18ga (1mm) mild steel plates, laced together with leather thonging. The straps are made from leather and sewn on/ reinforced with artificial sinew. I made my breastplate in like 8 hours because I’m the size of a child, whereas it took Kieran 3 years to make his because he’s super lazy. I’m going to do another post later with WIP/ up close pictures of how it’s constructed and what it’s looks like on the inside, because it’s pretty interesting.

Helmet: It’s called an Italo-Norman cabaset helm and I have no idea where we got it from, we’ve had it in our personal armoury for years.
