Deadpool - Prepwork: Phase III - Accessories

While Phase II is dedicated to the "kitting-out" of Deadpool, Phase III will focus on the "hardware" of his kit.

• New sword roughed-out from brass rod. This was relatively quick work--and FUN!!! I hammered flats on either side of a 3/16" d. brass rod, and hammered the curve of the blade over the horn of the anvil. Once satisfied, I continued reducing the thickness of the blank on the anvil before taking Dremel (grinders and sanders) to it. I'd say it's about 50% done. . .

• Sword grip (tsuka) roughed-in with MS. At this stage, it is removable, allowing me to assemble the sword fittings as in real life.

• Tsuba roughed-out from a scrap piece of PUR and tentatively fitted to blade.
