Hacking up a sword

<< < (9/13) > >>

Sir Wolf:
if it doesn't work re think it. you may need to look for period examples if you can. it would be easier than reinventing the wheel. sorry it didnt work out how you liked though. its always a bummer to work on something and then be, EH about it :(

Dragonlover:
Ah yes, but I suppose thats how we learn..... ;)

Sir Edward:
I don't have a shot of the finished product yet, but here's the shot after cutting:



I also scored the remaining blade, as you can see, to help with the epoxy. The cuts were made using the dremel, and it went very quickly. It seems to have gone well, though the blade piece I used for weight rattles around inside.

Dragonlover:
Will just that piece of blade give you enough weight Sir Edward?
I had to add quite a bit, but your sword probably isn't as top-heavy as my 15th.....

Sir Edward:

Yeah, it's balanced enough with the frog I'm going to use that it'll sit nicely, even with half the blade material gone. It's not as top-heavy as it looks. I suspect the pommel isn't solid all the way through.
