Hi guys, so as you have probably guessed if you have seen my previous thread (a question on leather working) that I am slowly, painfully slowly getting started on making a jack sparrow cosplay from scratch.
now onto the main subject... I am in the process of making a Jack Sparrow compass, and I am completely boggled by the hinges! i really want a way of attaching the hinges so they are not visible, that does not require me chiseling chunks out of the back of the compass, then having to fill the bleedin' things in again afterwards! :rolleyes I think I might have a way, but I want some input
Cut off the screw 'oley bits on the sides, so you are left with this:
then glue every other segment (and the pin that runs through the middle) to the bottom of the compass, in one of the channels I will already be cutting out on the inlay, and the ones that aren't glued will be glued to the top
would love to here people's thoughts and input on this, I have two weeks to collect materials and prepare, and then I'm back to using the school workshop for the build!
