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.
