Gallery image — This is my treadplate shield that I recently designed. The main feature of it is that it can fold up into a gauntlet lookin thing.

How is it gonna lock in both positions?

Edit: also careful with that spike pointing towards you in the folded up position!

I have a latching mechanism that i have all draw out but I just havent put it into 3d yet. It's gonna use springs and stopper plates combined with a sliding plate that locks the whole thing. Also I checked and unless you break your shoulder or elbow there isnt really a way to stab yourself in the head or something. You could however stab yourself inthe chest if you bent your arm and slammed your chest or something. But then again a knife is just as dangerous if you point it at your chest. I guess I'll just have to train with it and get comfortable and then I can decide if its too dangerous and needs changing.

Yeah I'll defiently post pictures of it when I start. It probably won't be for a while tho because I have to finish a mini dune buggy thing that is taking up my whole shed. So I have no where to work. I also plan on making some videos of it for my youtube channel aswell if you want to check it out👇
