My ProjecTee

More photos of the battle axe : I gave the aluminum strap a hammered look by beating it with the ball end of a ball peen hammer. I also added some wooden handle grips. Trying to give the battle axe more dimension. It was too windy to work on my spider's eyes , maybe tomorrow if the wind calms down.

Photo of my large spider's eye mold ready for glassing : The pie shaped cardboard is a template for 24 pieces of 1 3/4 0z fiberglass mat. That many pieces will make 3 layers of mat.

 

[DonnyRay]

CORRECTIONS: The pie shaped pieces of fiberglass mat is 3/4oz NOT 1 3/4oz.

Fora guillotine I built for my son one Halloween, I used silver hammer-finish spray paint. It made the blade look very real from 5 feet away.

Oops, wrong thread. Sorry about the image that makes no sense LOL

 

[DonnyRay]

KevinRevin ; what brand is the paint you used ?

 

[DonnyRay]

I've used this in the past: This rust-oleum paint is also available in a silver color.

 

[Kevinrevin]

It was Rustoleum, like what your picture showed, just in silver.

 

[DonnyRay]

I will get a can of the silver ; I want the battle axe to at least look great before my nephew destroys it. Remember the chainsaw i made ? You wouldn't want to see it now. LOL!!

 

[Kevinrevin]

I remember that saw, and can imagine what a kid that asked for one would do with/to it.

 

[DonnyRay]

KevinRevin ; Do you have a couple of photos of the guillotine ?

 

[Kevinrevin]

I will search for some, and maybe video also. (I think we took video of it operating)

KevinRevin ; Do you have a couple of photos of the guillotine ?

I have searched my computer & phone, but no pictures. When my son gets back from Basic & AIT, I will ask him to check for some.

 

[DonnyRay]

AIT = Advanced Individual Training. I did a couple of years in the U.S.ARMY.

In the service I had a lot of SpecialHighIntensity Training.

 

[Neshkoro]

What’s the acronym for that, ORF?!?!?

 

[old round fart]

SHIT! I also went to the Sam Huston Institute Technology. Also SHIT! Are you beginning to see a pattern here?

 

[DonnyRay]

I did my a.i.t @ fort Sam Houston in the late 60's. I & the rest of my fellow trainees were trained to be combat medics. I was a member of the class # 100a.

My son moved to South Dakota a couple years ago, and recently joined their Army National Guard. His training will be in Small Arms Repair, at Ft. Lee, Virginia.
I will now have to travel across the country to get my guns repaired.
