something something gorgug’s “mindless rage” ability negating the charmed and frightened effects and returning him to clarity and how said clarity matches up with the themes of rhythm and concentration and the “a-ha!” moments that are all too characteristic for an artificer. i love you forever gorgug
Today I heat-shaped and sealed the two halves of my hammer head together and made all of the tin details!
This is actual tin from either roofing or siding, pretty thin but definitely sturdier than foam. Each piece has to be cut with tin snips, the edges turned in with pliers and pounded flat with a hammer, then spray painted silver. The screws and metal are actually structural pieces that support the hammer. If I have extra time I'd like to weather them.
I'm going to add a big flange in order to attach the PVC handle, which still needs to be cut and painted. Actually getting that flange to sit solidly will be a trick and I'm planning on adding washers or a nut in there to help support it. But, the most important part:
IT IS POSSIBLE. IT IS DOABLE. IT WILL BE DONE IN TIME. IT WILL BE COMPETITIVE.
