Wow, it has been a while since I posted! Loving the sword, and at this point the costume for Link itself is done except the distressing (I will cover that when I get to it). Today let's talk about the shield. It is going slow, but I do have the basic 16ga. steel blank which will serve as my foundation of the shield prepped and ready. Good heater shield shape.
I also have gotten as far as the triforce stencil made and the first set of triangles cut from the 3/16" brass plate. Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to cut 3/16" thick 260 machine brass by hand? Wow.
So it'll be a short update today but progress is being made! Once the triangles are all cut I will begin the beveling and polishing process...
They look great! What are you using to cut the brass?
ReplyDeleteIt's covered in my latest post, but it is a very small kerf, diamond carbide bladed saw, similar to a hacksaw but designed for fine line metal cutting. :)
