Hello everyone,

I have ran a couple of searches and felt that we needed a thread that kind of shared our experiences with our implements. I was unsatisfied with my original disk of earth so I am now currently restarting that particular item. I used a lathe to turn out my fire wand, and am currently working on my chalice in the same manner. I think that I will paint my implements, then wrap them in black silk until I consecrate them. I aquired raw blades for my air dagger from my grandfather who is actually a sword/knife worker, so that worked out nicely, I created a handle and painted that a long time ago, however I was unsatisfied with that paint job too so I just sanded that down and am fine tuning it now. I am somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to my magical weapons/regalia. For the most part I am working by the patterns laid down in Secrets of a golden dawn temple by the cicero's. I also have my two banners constructed and of course my robe and altar (the first to be created, some three years ago). Hopefully today I will have some pictures up. Feel free to ask about construction of these items, I will help if I can. I am really hoping to hear the various and creative ways that the practicing magicians here have come up with for their tools.
