Cheap N' Easy Stage Sword

lets face it, swords are cool, expensive, and hard to make. so, with a 6$ piece of weldabul steel,(take a note of this, Watson) a thin brass rod, a wood dowel, and a mind full of sharp and pointy objects, i set out on my quest for over-sized letter openers.

like i said,you need a Piece of 1/16 inch weldable steel (the width that you want your sword.) A dowel that fits in your hand comfortably, A 1/16 inch bras rod, A 6 by 1 inch Piece of 1/16 inch steel For the hilt.

sand the paint, rust, and edge off your blade.then cut the end how you want it to be.t

hen cut the dowel in half.hold one half of the dowel on each side of the blade, then Trim the blade so the dowels are flush.

drill two 1/16 inch holes through the dowels and the Blade. then pound the rod through the holes and sand it flush.Flush.take the little hilt piece and drill several 1/16 inch holes rite next to each other, until you can tightly slide it down Your blade. then weld, solder or glue the hilt on.

now give it to the biggest D&D nut in town, or your son! (that's what i did!) its not a real sword, so its safe for kids.
