I have a question, I find my self in possession of an old steel washermachine. Not sure how thick the metal is, but it is steel and I know metal would make an awesome mando costume. Should I use the steel from that? (it is free and I am on a pretty limited budget, time isn't an issue) I'm not sure how hard metal cutting is, but I have some steel snips and I've worked with sanding, painting, and general metal work before. So basically, would steel from a washermachine make decent armor? (chest, shoulder, back, legs) I am undecided about using it for a helmet, I might make the helmet from the steel and an old skateboarding helmet.
Thanks for any help!
