I didn't want these pictures to get lost in the general shuffle of the intro thread, so this thread will be all about the blade putter and what it goes through from concept to finish.
I had a tough time staying asleep, so I'll get some pictures of the transformation up for you guys to check out. It is one of my favorites, by far and will really fill a niche that SSB has been missing out on.
I'll try to choose the ones that you really want to see, but it is a crap-shoot, LOL.
Here are a few that show what the putter went through to get to the stage that it is at, right now, ready for a hosel.
THE DESIGN STARTS AS BLACK LINES ON A MALLET
EXCESS METAL IS CUT AWAY TO GET THE HEAD CLOSER TO THE DESIRED SHAPE
HEADSHAPE TAKES A MAJOR STEP TOWARDS THE GOAL
WHEELWORK AND SOME BELT TIME REVEAL THE BEAUTIFUL HEAD THAT WAS WAITING TO BE PULLED FROM THAT SWEET LOOKING MALLET.
COMPARISON, BEFORE AND AFTER
This was far more exciting for me to see come to shape than these pictures suggest. The hosel will be made by early on Saturday and I hope to get the welder to do his thing, by afternoon.
Remember, this is just the first prototype, also. I may do a little altering to the shape of the next one until I get EXACTLY what I am seeing in my mind's eye, so to speak.
Thanks for checking in and keep yer eyes peeled. This is going to be one gorgeous piece, all done up.
