  • Hey! I tried to make sword following the same steps, but each time, I failed to get the dowel inside the taped sword blades. When I did manage to get the dowel in, the tape ripped. :( I was wondering if maybe the cardboard I got was too stiff? Or would it be possible that I taped the blades together too tightly? Should I try not to tape the edges together so tightly? Otherwise, this is such a great tutorial!

  • @rynris The same has happened to me before. It could be like you mentioned, cardboard too stiff or tape too tight. But for me, it was mostly because the blade was too small thus making the 'tunnel' even narrower. I would suggest not to tape it together as tightly?

  • Do you think that this would work for a slightly curved sword, if I were (which I am) able to find curved dowel?

    And thanks for the tutorial, it's super awesome x3 My Kusanagi and Excalibur are thanking you ^^

  • @Valitseuusi I'm honestly a little doubtful it will work for curved swords. But you could always try and let us know :D

  • can this be done for a 2m/7ft sword orz

  • @mankin15 If you get cardboard that long ? =)

see all
