Make a Captain America Shield

[ysabetwordsmith]

 On Instructables.  This version calls for a heavy-duty plastic dish sled as the base.  If you want a metal shield, just buy a metal sled; most of the instructions will work, although you'll need stronger tools for the drilling and etching.

the geeky youngest did not want to make this one.

Really shocked.

(And there goes the idea of getting him to make it for /me/.)

Totally cool!
It seems like some double work could be avoided by detailing the star and attaching the handles before painting (or at least, I know I'd have scuffed the paint while applying handles).

That magnetic rig is really clever.
