  1. I mean to make 2 different kind of cudgels, a solid conditioning one and a hallow practice rod. I only need to know how to put raised, thick gold like designs over the bar like openwork. anyone got mold/heat shaping ideas? I have chisels, metal weld glue and dremel to finish the pattern detail and finish. Sorry for the confusion. Im trying to shape the brass/copper over a blackend rod, something like this. Heres a anouther.
  2. As soon as I saw this, I broke out my tape. Its slightly longer and just a tad thicker than what I thought originally.
  3. I think that will compliment the hallow version so much, thanks for the suggestion!
  4. Im using a solid 13 kg or 25-27 lbs 5 foot steel rod, its 3/4ths of an inch in diameter and it feels xxxxx smooth. I'd say an inch or an inch and a half is good for the solid one I'll do.
  5. I was thinking making one that is all through metal for wrist, arm, knee, general core weight endurance/strength training and make a similar beauty that is hallowed out. I just don't know if I should make molds to add the height, depth, and general shape of the luck clouds before engraving them to finish the look, or to just have 5-10 people around me to pour, shape, and hammer this onto the pole without it melting the pole or shrink-crushing the xxxx out of the pole after the clouds cool.
  6. Hey, I need help with this project. I need a heavy all metallic through kind of staff(bang) to use for wushu training at my school and want to make a gold banded cudgel(ruyi jingu bang) that instead of bands/rings of gold on each end of the pole, I want to weld/inlay some type of thick, somewhat engraved, patterned copper/brass/gold plating over the steel/iron that looks like popped out, shining luck clouds that are wrapped around a clean, straight and solid blackened metal pole. The middle is bare, but as you go to one of each end, it starts with sparse clouds that show the pole underneath, but as you get closer to the ends the clouds become much compact and completely envelop the tips. I need help on how I can get this result(look below at images I cropped). please and thanks.
