Retractable Hidden Arm blades

Buy 2 equal sliding drawer mechnisms at any local harware store

a Package of Gorilla Glue Expoxy-Resin Tube.

2 pieces of 18 guage metal that can fit on the end of the sliding arm.


THIS WAS A PROP MADE FOR A karl ruprecht kroenen FROM HELLBOY 1 SO PLZ STOP BARKING AT ME SAYING I RIPPED OFF ANOTER PAGE.  SO STOP AND LEAVE ME ALONE THIS IS JUST FOR THE CONTEST!!!!!!!!!!

Step 1: Prepare the mechanisms

to avoide cutting yourself when you place the blades on your amr it would be good to use a bench grinder or a metal file and grind down all points on the drawer slide. This way you don't cut yourself and its comfortable for you to move around with ease. Make sure you wear eye protection as well

They sell them at Homedepot they are very cheap. It only costed about $10 and they are stainless steel. If you can't find them there Im sure Lows has it or Ace Hardware. Let me know you need any more help. ^___^

[Blechmen]

ok thank u

[tinker234]

wow simple but effective if it locks perhaps you should add a step this then

[freeksho_lo]

yes they are very cool but they are not actually hellboy accurate his were not hidden blades they were like police clubs with sword blades attached insted of the club. but still a very cool design want to make a set for my costume next year.

Thank you but these are for when he is in his SS uniform in the begining of the movie I have not made a tutorial on the 2nd style of blades he uses later on in the movie.

If anything, THEY all ripped off the movie "Taxi Driver". In the movie, Travis Bickle used the same drawer device to throw a gun in his hand from up his sleeve.

Thanks for your Instructable. Does the hat hint at you using this for a Cosplay event?

PS., *cost

I recreated the taxi driver effect, that actually locks in place. This instructable lacks.

[GHOST66]

Blashfmay This one does not lack this one DOES LOCK!!!

[mg0930mg]

I can bolt on different things, knives, gun, claws onto this, for different effects. :) It also locks into place. :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fp7hbsCNdUo

Not from what I see in the instructable it is just a drawer slide, it's not even cut down, to fit well on the arm..

[GHOST66]

It worked perfectly on my arm for MetroCon.

[GHOST66]

No problem gald to be of some help. Yes the hat was for one of my many cosplay's karl ruprecht kroenen the Nazi Assassin from HellBoy 1. It came out pretty well!!!
