Part 4 Freddy glove progress

Thank you! Most of it is just from heat. Lots of sanding and buffing involved. Some of the reds were achieved by using a metal stain, though.
 
Is the claw a piece of steel welded to the copper? If I may ask, how did you go about attaching that? Mapp Gas? Oxy Acetylene? Also, what did you do to form the fingers out?
 
The blades were soldered on using a propane torch and acid core solder. The finger stalls are made of copper pipe, so it was basically a lot of flattening and bending with an assortment of pliers.:)
 
Love to see the finished work, also have you thought about a stand for it. I saw a couple wooden ones on here before.
