Can you make a model Full Throttle roller coaster? It's a new coaster being built at Magic Mountain.

You should be a roller coaster engineer.

Hey, I've been staring at your Katana 'ible for a while, saw the new pics just now, looking great! I plan on making a katana (by stock removal, not forging) and I'd be glad to see anything else you are going to add :D

Cool, I made a new vid for my latest blade weapon. It's really similar to a Japanese Tanto, and now I really want to make a katana :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHtlObIkojU

Understatement... REALLY cool! The one thing I was going to ask was how did you make the pommel?
the_burrito_master (author) in reply to cowscankillAug 28, 2010. 7:08 PM
my pommel was made from a radiator leg then I sawed some excess metal off and then filed it smooth. added some ridges to it so the laces would stay centered over it. drilled 2 holes in the bottom 1/4 an inch deep to align with 2 nails sticking out of the bottom of the handle. ( holds it very steady) then when I was ready to lace it on I hot glued it on for stability while lacing.

here's a pic of what I mean.

Very nice! I saw some pommels while researching, looked like there was a slot for the lacing to go through... I think I'll just stick with your method, it's much more do-able. Thanks again!
the_burrito_master (author) in reply to cowscankillAug 30, 2010. 3:50 PM
I tried to do that but it took so long to just drill through once... and I don't have a juelers saw. so for me it was pretty much impossible lots of katanas go over the pommel as well as through the pommel. the art of tsuka wrapping shows how to wrap the pommel on in several different ways.
