Boxing Clever 2024 Part 6

 Boxing Clever 2024 Part 6

Since I have to think about what I am going to do next on the Front I have decided to tackle some other bits in the meantime.

Mucky Side





I always hate the way the Glue dries when using this Material. It looks Mucky. Therefore I am going to start with the Side.

Green Side





This Side is Easy enough. I have taken a long piece of Green Material and Glued it in Place.

Peeling








It has started Peeling already. This Material isn’t very good which is why I only every use it as a Liner. Though I have to confess that using ordinary Glue instead of Fabric Glue probably doesn’t help.

Blue Band





I have a long Length of Dark Blue Band left. It can easily go all the way around the rest of the Sides. I start by Gluing it on one Side of the Box. It is a bit Uneven so I may have to add some more White.

Clip Away






Before I can do the Main Side I need to Clip a Hole in the White so I can access the Release Button.

Clip Band








I Glue to the Button. I then Clip the Band around the Button then carry on Gluing.

Pointy Pieces 2024 Part 2

 Pointy Pieces 2024 Part 2

Greetings. Again I must apologise for delayed posting. I have a new laptop and am having to learn how to use it along with the updated Windows.

Brilliant Brasso











Now all the Deburring has been done I need to Polish. So with the purchase of some Brasso I am ready to start. This tin has the wadding in so no need to look for cloths

Mucky Sword











With such a big object it took me several goes to cover it all. Here is a photograph that shows it covered with Brasso.

Shiny Sword











Above is a photograph with the Sword all Shiny along with its Sheath. Note for future. Remember to put paper down because when I lifted the Mucky Sword I had a lovely Sword Pattern in Brasso on the carpet. This is another reason why I had to Polish more than once.

Arabian Dagger











So whilst I had the Brasso out I thought it was a good time to do the other Pointy Pieces I had around. This is an Arabian Dagger that I picked up on Holiday in Tunisia.

Arabian Polish











Here is the Arabian Dagger Polished. To be honest the Blade was not that bad. It was the Handle and Cover that need the work as they had been exposed to the elements.

Letter Openers











Finally here are some Letter Openers. These Blades were in Bad Condition due to the fact they were covered in bits of Sellotape. They took nearly as much work as the Sword. 

All my Pointy Pieces are as good as new. The only thing now is to tackle cleaning the Carpet!
