WIP He-Man Power Sword

[rougewelder]

Well, in case nobody knew, I am a Welder and have been doing it for about 21 years. I work in a steel mill (the one Henry Ford built) and for years I have wanted to make a sword similar to He-Man's. After seeing the picture of the sword from SDCC from 2009 or 2010 I knew I had to make one. Now I don't have fancy automatic cutting equipment so I have to do everything by hand. I am going to make it one sided for display purposes only because of my limited machinery so here is what I have so far:



Now, if I get caught making it by the wrong people I could get fired so I can only work on it when nobody else is around so it may take a little while to finish but I want to get it done as soon as I can. Just wanted to share my work.

Looking Good!

Take your time and don't get caught man! Jobs are too hard to come by these days. Looking forward to what you come up with though!

This on both. It looks great, but don't risk your job over it man.

Don't worry about my job. My boss has seen what I'm doing and it's cool with him. I just can't walk out of the plant with it because of security. I will get someone to drive it out. It looks good so far though.

Looks promising.

Phase 1 complete. Next will be the blade and then the handle. I think it's going to be pretty sweet.
