rokshasa Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 thats really cool, i kinda like the left over file teeth makes it look "rustic" if you don't mind me saying so. i made one kinda like that but am not done yet its just a little smaller. good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
