How I Make Wood Swords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong> We buy 3″x8″ unfinished boards and then outline using a template on each board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> Then we cut out rough cut sword sections using a miter saw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.<\/strong> My parents help me with the routing table to get the edges rounded on each cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.<\/strong> Then we cut out the handle\/grip using a jig saw and then do a final with a router table to keep the handles straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.<\/strong> Next, we use the miter saw again to create the 45deg point on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.<\/strong> After that the only thing left on the swords is sanding all sides down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.<\/strong> Back to the unfinished boards for the guards. Just like the swords, first we rough cut them using a miter saw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.<\/strong> Next, we use a template to rough cut the center rectangle using a template. We start the hole with a spade bit and then use a jig saw to make it wider. It is later sanded down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.<\/strong> Both sword and guard are then painted and left to dry overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10.<\/strong> To finish up – the guards are screwed into the sword and then I wrap a paracord around the handle for a stronger grip. Parents help me burn the ends on the paracord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
