Hello all, I have been remiss in posting my latest progress for a while. Continuing from the last progress pics I showed, I next attached the two halves together. I decided to use a long hinge here. I know that some may not like that choice as it is visible on the inside edge of each gauntlet, but the ease of getting them on and off won out for me:

Right now I'm just using a single "loop" of some of the hinge excess secured with JB weld to hold the gauntlets closed. I may choose something different when it's all said and done, but it works for now.
Now, on to the flame thrower...
