Here I
will try to show how I make a oval guard with round
balls on the ends...
First thing I do is make a pattern
for the oval,I leave the ends flat and a little wider
than I think that they need to be at first.I finish
the shape to the point after I put the balls on.HerI
am using 1/8 inch stock for the guard.
Now I center the ends for drilling
.
Drill a 1/16 inch hole as deep as you
think it should be to hold the ball in.Somewhere 1/8
to 1/4 inch will work fine.If you dont hit exactly center
its ok as you still have to finish shape the oval later.
Take two pieces of scrap cutoffs here
I am using 1/4 inch thick stock and aproxiametly 1/4
inch square maybe a little over.
