Custom armguard for injury.

[immiketoo]

One of my customers had a severe injury to his arm.  Shattered the wrist and forearm bones, and now, even though he has had surgery to repair it, he has increased sensitivity to touch.  He asked for an armguard that would protect him from bumps and scrapes that we take for granted.  This is a lined piece with a foam layer in the middle provide added absorption to impact.

More killer work @immiketoo! Great cause too, I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

Thanks man...He does think its cool!  I am particularly fond of the padding.  Craft foam...who knew!

WOW--absolutely WOW  Beautiful work! It reminds me of an 'archery' forearm guard, like I've had for 50 years that keeps that bow string from hitting my arm with resultant great pain!

I wonder, instead of lace, if 'velcro' straps would be easier to use with one hand. Being old, I believe all of my shoes use velcro straps.

There are a lot of easier ways to close these and I suggested all of them.  The customer wanted the lacing, so he got the lacing!
