How to make a Wooden Bastard Sword

Step 1 ď‚— Draw a bastard sword on paper. More likely draw the

outline of the bastard sword which you want to make. ď‚— Use stencil for straight lines and use a length of

butcher paper or buy oversized sheets of crafts paper from craft store.

Step 2  Cut and copy the stencil  Cut the sword stencil out of the paper and then put it

on the wood which you plan to use.

 Now mark the sword onto the wood and then copy

the hilt of the stencil twice more.

 The hilt will thicker then the blade, so cut three pieces

of the hilt and glue them together.

Step 3  Cut your wood- Use jigsaw and cut three pieces of

wood which you have outlined- two of hilt and one of complete sword.

 The cut show be little wider rather than a little

narrow: wide can be sanded down, but narrow can’t be fixed easily.

Step 4 ď‚— Glue the pieces- In this step take a strong epoxy wood

and make a strong mixture of glue.

ď‚— Spread it evenly on one side of each hilt and glue them

firmly to the center piece.

Step 5 ď‚— Sand your sword- Start from the hilt and take a fine

girt

sandpaper to make the edges smooth.

ď‚— Once the hilt is even, use your sandpaper to bevel

each side of the blade.

Step 6  Check your hilt and make final adjustment :  Check to be sure your sword hilt isn’t too thick to

hold easily. If it is make use sandpaper to make it more fine.

 Sand down uneven parts until you will get the fine

sword.

Step 7  Begin with the painting of the sword.  Use duck tapes or leather to cover the handgrip

portion of the sword.

 You can also make a scabbard with hard paper and

paint it with appropriate color.
