What happened to good old fashioned wood shikke?

Lol what next, slip on paggan?

I wanted to go for the Aluminium or plastic ones for couple reasons;


Our team is in like Saskatchewan, thats right its in the middle of no where, once a shikka is broken, you cant get quick replacements. The other thing is you can get faster reps out of them.


Though we still do the old school Paggs

I wish there were salwars that went on like sweat pants.

Since this post is up, and I don't much feel like looking through old posts, DOES anyone still make the old fashion wooden ones still? If so, prices?

We use wood saap and it isn't that bad, they last a lot of years... Maybe we don't use them so intensive... but wood is stronger than plastic


Logistics... ours are from India. Members or friends visiting family in Punjab normally ends up with a suitcase full of clothes and instruments ;D

Romesh in phagwara makes vardiyaan and props. You can find him on Facebook as 'Romesh Dresses'. He speaks some english, hindi, and punjabi. If you can, order in punjabi to ensure nothing goes wrong.


OR


If you don't want the hassle of ordering from India, talk to Harkiran and she can order them for you.

Don't buy saaps, make your own.

Tools required: table saw, drill press, jig saw, slight disregard for personal safety.

but wood is stronger than plastic
