STarted on a guard for a sword I have had for awhile now and WOW! Making fittings is FUN! Pictures in a minute! overall shot and end detail guard with tang Handles are on and the epoxy is drying, pictures tommorrow!

its good, not extremely good, but good. you have a nasty habit of using sword guards on blades  try and smith a curve in the guard of this sword and bruchart. just make it so that back side of the guard is different, preferebly going down and then angling up, but just not as sharp of an angle as this.(i cant do any better on a pic)----------l__l___l---------=O C======== X =====\---// ------------.V-------\\-// ------------l l--------\/ ------------l l ------------l l ------------l l ------------l l ------------l l ------------l l ------------l l Last edited by Fraud Jon; 07-28-2008 at 02:19 PM. |
