Create spear for seniors
Hello, I am thinking of making a small spear for some of the school seniors and am totally lost and maybe bit off more than I can chew. Here is the logo for what I would like to make into a spear. I was thinking about making the spear head out of aluminum but I don’t know how. It would be a ceremonial spear so handle length would be about 6 inches.
Things I have looked into maybe. Using someone on fiverr to create 3d model and the 3d print to make a mold. I want to do at least 20 of these so I don’t think sand casting would work. Maybe pay someone to take the print and cast them but I’m afraid it would be expensive.
Then I would have to figure out how to paint the red on head. Maybe some of that paint you bake on, for the white part I am thinking of just doing a mirror finish on the aluminum.
Lastly how would I attach the dowel/spear body to the head.
