steady bending hand. use good pliers
all curves are actually 1 dimensional, like a tube is. It just takes a lot of patience knowing which part to bend into which angle. the fingertips are the hardest bit at this.
You could bypass it by opening up the 2 halves into 4 halves, that'll make for less complex curves.

okay, just note me with the email adress and I'll send you the basic shape

unreal-hunter In reply to retax [2010-01-27 18:50:25 +0000 UTC]

it is regular 1mm aluminium sheet, bought at the local DIY store.
I wasn´t that skilled with steel plate, and I wanted to do a casting finish, so I chose Alu.

you´re in luck, I saved the cardboard models i used as base for these.
I´m currently in a move, so it might take a while, but i´ll see to scanning them for you.

thanks for liking them ^^

nop, it's quite comfortable. that's because I modelled it to my own hand, and I keep reshaping and fine tuning untill I am satisfied. It takes a lot of time and some practice. But the result is no sore fingers for me ^^

Haha! van het weekend komt er meer sneeuw

Castlefest 2011 omdat hij zn outfit voor dit jaar al af heeft
ik nog niet helemaal trouwens >.>

GL met een scanner vinden xD...

Ik wed dat Haiti blij is met de aandacht, nu nog hopen dat de rijke mensjes die het geld in handen krijgen het ook fatsoenlijk aan de burgers geven en niet aan hun zelf schenken (je weet maar nooit waar het geld heen gaat)

unreal-hunter In reply to Karrdeh [2010-01-29 18:55:42 +0000 UTC]

haha, en jij good luck met het afmaken van je outfit (je hebt nog wel even de tijd)

mja, op zich hebben we wel wat geleerd van de Tsu, maar wat ik hypocriet vind is dat de Haitianen hulp Eisen. Ik vind dat ze dankbaar moeten zijn dat we uberhaupt opletten, elk ander land lost aardbevingsleed lekker zelf op (kijk maar naar Japan), en nu zitten zij in de problemen en moeten we ineens flappen gaat trekken. Mooi niet dus, 'als je niets hebt, mag je ook niet klagen dat je het kwijt bent'

Great progress..Do you intend to wear this over a glove? Are you also going to weld the seams

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

unreal-hunter In reply to tk8247 [2009-02-03 17:37:28 +0000 UTC]

Stage 3 is closing all the seams by casting aluminium on it as decoration and inforcement (since the base plate is alu too)

But I need to set up a smelting station and run some tests before I do that. Not to mention that I want stage 2 cleared before I start casting.

And yes, I am planning on doing a thin black glove under it, mostly for style and to prevent the plate to get all sweaty and grimy

thanks for your comment

Nice!
I would give more advanced critique if I were more familiar with the techniques (give it time). Did you solder the joints? It also looks really flexible, but is this designed to go over a gloves or to be worn on bare hands? It looks a bit tight for being over a glove.

unreal-hunter In reply to crazed-fangirl [2009-02-03 17:45:26 +0000 UTC]

It might go over a fabric glove, but I'd have to make one. (though making a black one is in the plans, as a barrier between sweat and alu)

I did not close up the seams yet, they'll be poured with liquid alu, that is the third stage.

And yes, it is quite flexible. I designed it so that natural movement hinderance is minimalised.

^^ thanks for your coment
