If you think that's good you should see Steve's lances!<br /><br />The trumpet end was made by "stringing" onto a steel ruler, which acted as a heat sink that wouldn't stick to the solder. This produced the cone shape, which I then filed to accentuate the curled edges. Far trickier was then brazing it to the hand. The mouthpiece was made by "stringing" straight onto the other side of the hand. I retained a bit of the sword guard to create at least a suggestion of trumpet tubing.Wellington Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295966991101976478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-50640650918025944612016-02-08T03:10:29.408+13:002016-02-08T03:10:29.408+13:00I am awed!!
