i had to goto the dentist yesterday and my whole head was numb til 9PM lol

cheers
a little bit of both, but more hobby i guess.
its come to a grinding halt today as i cannot find my keys !!
RB have you never thought of doing these cases to order? You could make some good money doing these i reckon, looking on these forums people seem to be closely obsessed with what there case looks like! and having case looking as cool as yours do would be mint!
I know its time consuming doing them, but i know i wouldnt mind waiting for one if i had the money! lol.

some possible reference: a drawing i done back in school :O
random google image reference:
blade so far:
i might take the idea of the metal bands and socket on the hand grip though

the brush, over time gathers dried paint and other stuff so sometimes you need to test before usign it on the acctualy piece !
or if i need to set a line width up right ill test it down there.

Sorry for being a nit-picker but the scale of the sythe (and especially its grip) is all wrong - makes it look like a sickle 
The 'stem & grip' should be much lower down (out side the visable area) But there nothing wrong about holding the 'snach' (shaft to most people) when holding a sythe upright on it's end.
Image of real one - note that due to the curve, a stem is not required to ofset the grip
That said I still love it

lol i just made it up :O
a such shaped stick is very hard to position right on a piece like this, so one must use a certain degree of artistic license just to make it look pleasing or normal.
i aggree the grip really is a long long way down the snatch, but it just wouldnt look right without it i think.
then again i could photoshop it and see. but i believe in order to make soemthign look 'right' to laymen, you have to use artistic license.
hell a dentist would FREAK if he saw this !
the skull shouldnt look like it does. skulls dont look like that !
the last one i did i had the blae coming out the top of the shaft, like on those 2 pictures, but this one i wanted a more hand crafted look so made it with rope bindings, so i know that wrong ><
i do know what your saying though and i appreiciate your honesty and oppinion. but i think i will go with what i think works with this one
form a head on angle id looks better i think:
some more work on the blade. im going for an old crooked luck, a one which would not slice a head in one cut but a few hacks... lovely ehy ?
no harsh comments on that part yet loo its under construction
