A friend and fellow DMS member has a cosplay event in the very near future. His character carries a sword. In the not too distant past he thought to himself, “Hey, making one out of wood using the MultiCam seems like a good idea.” But, he is not yet trained to use the MultiCam. Having successfully built a few things with that machine he asked me for help. As a perennially optimist I told him, “Hey, no sweat!”.
Well, there has been sweat. Lots of sweat. Fortunately nothing has stopped progress. Just slowed it. Until Friday. Argh! I had no idea the Woodshop had stopped stocking end-mills. The entire inventory consists of three 3/8" flat nose end-mills. While they are certainly useful they are a terrible choice for something with a curved hilt, handle, and pummel.
TL;DR: So, this is a call for help. Anyone willing to loan / sell / trade me a 1/4" ball nose end-mill for a one to two hour MultiCam job please let me know.
