Sorry, I missed ^this^. When you say "steel pieces" I'm assuming you're referring to the brass straps that are around each end of the hammerhead? The "round things" are called "Turned Half-balls". They're solid brass, & have threaded holes on the flat faces. I drilled holes in the brass strapping, & mounted hollow threaded rod (from the lamp section at the hardware store) in each hole. Then I just screwed the half-balls to each location.Hey i know the post is old but what are the round things holding the steel pieces on? Are they special nails?
Thanks bro! Now if I can just scrape the $$$ together to purchase one of your multi-awesome 'Father's Sword's', I'll be set!Nexus6!!! That is awesome!! Truly Inspiring! The weathering and finish on it are perfect.....looks like it feel out of the movie screen!
LOL, as luck would have it, the handle (being cedar wood) is naturally pest resistant, & the head (unknown wood, but treated with creosote) is also sort of covered in that regard.OMG! To call that thing awesome would be an insult! I don't think there is a word for it in existence yet! Holy moley that thing is beyond words! I do think that due to its enormous size that you may need to purchase termite protection for it! Lol
Thanks, that's awesome, & exactly what I was hoping for...CROM!!!! That's a beast and a thing of beauty.....just superb eye for detail on making that. The look,weathering, everything...just looks like screen used. I'd swear you took the HERO version off the set. :thumbsup
Thanks & my pleasure. I'm just hoping the new pic host will hold up.That is an incredible build my man!cool Thanks for fixing the pix!
