My brother and I made them out of
sticks we found.
Odds and ends.
You needed a
long stick, a
short stick, a
hammer and nail.
Then you were ready for combat.
I have a very
photographic memory of making these at a house we left when I was six.
I must have been a tough little
mofo, because anymore, I'm
helpless with tools.
En garde.
Careful, you get
splinters doing this sort of thing.
