You'll see the crossguard is thicker.
This technique keeps the blade stronger and provides better hand protection.
While I was at it, I made him a dagger and replaced the crossguard on Theron's sword. It was done it with the old technique, because there's no way for me to change it now.
Then we went into repainting mode. Shane got his whole set repainted in black and red, but used a metallic black on his sword.
Collin liked the look of the black and yellow contrast on this "kite" shield with his new sword and dagger.
Here is another shield in the standard "Heater" shape. I haven't repainted this one yet, because I wanted you to be able to see all the battle scars. They take a beating and keep on going.
Here is how I make the back. There is an adjustable strap that uses two rings and a web strap, and a sturdy handle for a solid grip. They are both bolted on so there's no worry about losing your shield in the heat of the battle.
Hopefully this gives you some new ideas on what is available. I look forward to hearing from you.
