About: I build props. I've built props for theatre, including Broadway, off-Broadway, off-off-Broadway, regional and educational theatre. I've also built props for opera, retail display and exhibitions.
This is a sword I made. I constructed the guard, grip and pommel from scratch, and put it on stage-combat rapier blade. Everything was made of steel, shaped with an oxy-acetylene torch, MIG welder, grinders and various files. The grip is a piece of wood with a carved design which was wire-wrapped, and then hammered to reveal the design.
