Hey guys i'v been away from the board for couple of years,and I'm trying to get back in the hobby.I just wanted to know what is the best way to weather the copper and brass and what is the best metal to make the blades from.And how do I get the blade shape right. T.I.A Keith,

look up copper and brass patinas on google and try lots of different ones. You'll need to make sure the metal is clean of oil/dirt/fingerprints.As for the blades, 0.9mm polished steel is best if you can get it laser/waterjet cut. otherwise it's a kitchen knife and several hours on the bench grinder!

I hear the Liver of Sulphur is good for weathering copper and brass...

It depends on what glove you're building. It's no good for a part 1 and it doesn't work on brass either, only copper. basically tuns it black or dark if mixed with water. Good for a part 4 style...
