Thanks Scott, I'll keep that in mind. The copper was nice to work with, aluminum is a pain in the ass it seems, I spend more time with a file card than the file.
That RMK is sweet, that's what I've got in my mind except with a little more leather and a center swell. I like the way that handle tapers though.
We're gonna need pics of that sword when you get it done!
Years ago I got a bunch aluminum die cast sprues from a guy I new anywhere from 1/4" to 1/2" thick I tried cutting them with carbide cutters and every thing they gummed up my files and destroyed carbide cutters within seconds ( the residual silica in them from being die cast was the culprit ) it was so miserable work with I ended up scrapping all of it. Nickel silvers is way better to work with.
