Hi 405th!
For anyone who happened to see my first Razor thread, you might know the back story to this. My ex-girlfriend (who I am still very good friends with
) loves Johnny Depp movies, her favorite being Sweeney Todd. So this year, I am making a new razor set for her as movie accurate as possible. The project I attempted to start had many problems and setbacks, mostly associated with equipment and skills that I did not have!
So instead of attempting to carve each razor handle out of polycarbonate plastic (or some sort) by hand, which wasn't a very good idea, I will be molding them. I will sculpt each handle out of no-dry clay, which is WAY easier than plastic, ans I will take silicone molds of them and cast them in urethane plastic reinforced with rigid steel wire.
The razor I will still cut and hone myself along with a daunting polishing job, but it is worth it for her!:$
Anyway, since my computer design skills have been upgraded from Microsoft Paint to SolidWorks 2010, I have been able to make more accurate and interactive drawings than I previously could. With handle details omitted, here are my designs.
If any one else would like, I will be making sldDWG files of these to scale so that you may make your own as well!
Closed Razor
Open Razor
Better angle of Open Razor
Partially Open Razor
Thanks 405th!
Oh, and to the mods, the topic I originally posted was over a year ago, so I did not see it to be out of the question to start a new topic. Thanks!
