Well, in my continued quest to fiddle with stuff probably best left alone..... I'm formulating a plan.... wanted to run it by folks and see what they thought....
am I just crazy or....
Plus some harvester knife sections from the tractor shop... they are 3 inch by 3 inch... hardened steel.
would make a very serviceable and modern material made version of.... A Macuahuitl ( obsidian edged Aztec war sword )
I'm thinking the Liverpool assassin has the flat back on it, that will allow me to stand it on edge and run it down the table saw with a fine tooth blade to " mill out the slot for mounting the blades " using the table saw's depth adjustment on the blade and the straight line gate as a support to control slot placement, it should work almost perfectly!
Mill the slot, set the blades in place.... drill press the holes in the blade sections thru the poly body and attach with some quality bolts and washers to keep the stress points from wallowing out the plastic...
seem legit?
