@bomkatt
i did it many years ago and definitely enjoyed it ... something i'd like to try again at some point. was this at a workshop, or have you a new hobby?

[cvvhrn@sfba.social]

@bomkatt very cool

[nash@labyrinth.social]

@bomkatt it looks nice!! I have a feeling we must live in the same area

[bomkatt@ohai.social]

@moonrabbit it was at a workshop, so all the supplies were included. I can already see all the ways i'd like to improve the next one i do!

@nash it's definitely a "if you know, you know" kind of thing. I am sure people could track down my geography from posts, but i try to be at least a bit cautious

@bomkatt A shuttle what?

[bomkatt@ohai.social]

@unfinishedsymphony you read it right! shuttleCOCK.

Wikipedia suggests they may have once used rooster feathers? They're used in badmitton

@cvvhrn thanks! It was easier than i expected
