Creating a Sword for Class Demonstration Purposes To make a functional and safe sword for a class demonstration, you will need to gather materials carefully. First, choose a strong, flexible metal rod as your blade's foundation. The ideal diameter should be between 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch. Next, select the type of wood that fits your budget and design requirements. Maple or Ash are popular choices for sword handles due to their durability and strength. Cut the handle material into a long, thin piece, approximately 36 inches in length. The width should be about an inch at the thickest part, tapering down slightly towards the end. Now it's time to attach the blade to the handle. You'll need to create a socket at one end of the rod and another at the opposite end of the handle. Use a drill press or a hand drill for this task. Insert the rod into the socket on the handle, ensuring it is secure. Finally, apply some grip tape to the handle for better control. Safeguarding yourself during the demonstration is crucial. Wear protective gear such as gloves and safety glasses. The sword should be light enough to be easily maneuvered, yet still have a substantial weight to make it feel realistic. Practice swinging the sword before your presentation to get comfortable with its balance and movements.
