Normally I do a cad drawing when I make something.
This time I am kinda playing it by ear.

I got the body milled out for the most part. weights 113 g
There is a bit more milling to do but It will probably only be a gram or two lighter then what it is now.



Rectangle block of steel at top will be cutting blade.
It will be much smaller but thats the stock I have to start with.

Being a cast block of aluminium of low/unknown grade, I'd be very worried about it cracking or shattering in combat.

It might shatter but if that's the case it will be a crowed pleaser Smile
I plan on running it as an overhead bar but it should be able to run either way. it wont really undercut when flipped though.

Fair enough. You could call it Violet Crumble and claim that "It's the way it shatters that matters!"

As long as it still drives ok when it's flipped should be all good.
