After weeks of working on a prototype, I am finally going to use the metal that has been sitting at my desk. To make the gauntlet out of metal, I first needed to build the design with some easily modifiable material like paper to make sure the design was fit properly to my arm. This step I am now done with. The next step would be to take apart the design into its individual pieces. Then, I would place the individual pieces onto the metal sheets and use a carving tool to carve out the shape of the piece onto the metal. Next I would cut out the pieces to roughly the same size as the carving so that I can sand down the edges. The next step which I likely won’t be able to do this week will be to bend and shape the pieces. The final step would be to drill out the holes and put the pieces together with facets.
