Johanna Report post Posted November 30, 2007 Where is Freak? I can picture him in one of these! Nice work, welcome, here are some chocolate chip cookies. Never eat the doughnuts here. How do you make the horns stay on? If someone pulled one, would it come off? Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daggrim Report post Posted November 30, 2007 Thanks for the good comments, people. The horns are on solid! I use Bondo to set a wooden block inside, then run a wood screw thru the bottom of the horn and into the block. Then I use 2 long wood screws to fasten the horns from inside the helm, and they also penetrate into the wood. A piece of plumber's tape acts as washers. The wood blocks are just a coarse fit...no real precision needed, but I tap 'em in, and then use the bondo. Thanks for the cookies! Why no donuts?

MikeG Report post Posted November 30, 2007 AWESOME helmets! But is that a hood ornament from a '63 Buick? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daggrim Report post Posted December 1, 2007 Ha! It's from some superfunky 50's retro streamline table ornament I found at a thrift store. It's about 2 pounds of solid brass...needed the leather lobster tail as a counterweight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
