fleetinbeing Posted March 17 Report Posted March 17 Great work Chris! I'm glad to see someone putting in real construction time on an armor. Have you considered documenting your work for youtube or something? 1 Quote
Chris Davies Posted March 17 Author Report Posted March 17 Hi, I’d like to set up a YouTube channel and make some videos at some point. And a few travel videos too. Japan and Thailand are in the near future 😋👍🏼 1 2 Quote
dimitri Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 It's very clean, beautiful work, congratulations. As for the shape, I was told that I needed to use a pendulum balance wheel; it's the same shape and most of them are made of brass. 1 Quote
Chris Davies Posted March 22 Author Report Posted March 22 Another (hand built) maedate 前立. (Thank you Piers D 😁👍🏼) Worked at odd times over two weeks. Visually inspired from the statue of Toda Ujikane at Ogaki Castle. 4 Quote
