Hacking up a sword
Sir Brian:
lol No apology necessary amigo! :)
My sword has a very basic metal chape or tip that appears to be pressed
and probably glued on. :-\
I feel fairly confident the sand scheme will work but I will take a few precautions
and do some preliminary testing by filling a similar void and evaluating the weight
distribution prior to firing up the drill! ;)
Sir Edward:
Yeah, this is a good point. I haven't hacked mine up yet (haven't had time), but I was thinking about this. I might try filling it with sand before gluing it all together. I may look into it next week.
Dragonlover:
Or, if you're going to put a wooden slab into a leather sheath,
fill the end full of sawdust and wood-glue first.... ;)
Sir Matthew:
If you are hacking up a sword, what about glueing the cut off blade part into the scabbard? That way you will have the same amount of weight still in the scabbard as you would have before. I'm actually looking into having a custome made hilt with a small amount of "blade" to secure into a scabbard. The only thing I have to find is a scabbard then to fit it into.
Dragonlover:
Not a bad idea..... :)
