text: what's the correct gauge metal for wolverine claws? i got bored the other day, so i drew up plans for a set of wolverine claws like he has in x-men. i've got measurements, i'm just not sure what gauge metal to use, or even what kind of metal to use. the metal pieces will be the claws themselves and the plate i will attach them to, which will sit on the back of the hand. suggestions? i would suggest that you find another activity to relieve your boredom ...
