The Build: Working With Metal

Finally I am working with metal for my project after weeks of making my prototype out of paper. At the moment I am working on the wrist portion of my gauntlet and I have already made three of the pieces. I plan on finishing the rest of the pieces by the end of the month. To do this I would have to finish the wrist pieces by next week. This is because I will need all the time I can to make all of the finger pieces. There are a ton of them and they take a long time to cut out, sand down, and shape. At the same time that I am making the wrist pieces, I need to buy facets and figure out what size drill I need to use. This will allow me to drill the holes in the gauntlet pieces and use the facets to put them together when they’re done.














The picture shows two of the pieces that fit together on the wrist.
