Hey if you really wanted the, "metal feel" you could always make it out of a burning barrel, no clue how strong it would be. Considering the thickness, but they are pretty resilient. Also, that Pauldron looks wickedddddd. Also also, whatcha gunna do for 1K subs?

I thought about that! Actually I realized after making this that these barrels are kinda pricey. I couldn't find one for under $70 bucks. The metal drums are literally like $10 more. Not sure exactly how thick they are but I think that would be a very good idea. You can get a pretty good amount of armor out of one, so I think it would be one of the cheapest ways to get steel for it. I honestly have no idea what to do for 1k subs. Can't think of anything creative that i could pull off in enough time. And to be honest, pretty much every build i do is better enough than the last one to classify as a special project. I think im just going to a 2018 wrap up vid around new year though.

you know you could use a heated metal nail or rod to cut through the plastic. it might be easier than a jigsaw.

Could you make a knife sheath out of that stuff? It looks kinda like KYDEX. Might be a little thick though... run it through a planer?

Don't know if a planer would work but yeah, you could make a sheath out of it if it was thinner. It feels just like the stuff a regular five gallon bucket is made of. Kydex is more, well, less plasticy if you know what i mean. I think a five gallon bucket or pvc would be a better choice for sheathes cause they are thinner and cheaper though

I mean it can burn if you get it too hot. Just be a tad careful. It’s pretty forgiving.

I know this is an older video but I'm about to attempt this with some thick broken plastic pipe I found. It's most likely PVC and the walls are just shy of a centimeter thick. I suppose that titanium would be better but it's too damned expensive! I'll let you know if this works.
