Sword Training

Fiberglass dowel is my preference

I'm just going to list the weapons I have, so if anyone wants to expand on information, I can. This would be a departure greatly from lightsabers shaped weapons, but if someone is interested, I can assist.

80" greatsword, 60" greatsword, 48" longsword (2), 6' carbon fiber glaive (yari), 8' spear, 8' heavy glaive, bow/arrows, 33" heavy blade short sword, 31" short sword (2), 32" bat (omni-blade) (3), 15" daggers (2), Thrust only dagger, Heavy Flail, Javelins (3), bucklers, small round punch shields, a 33" round punch shield, large strap kite shield, tarzan strap heater shield with straps, tarzan strap teardrop shield with straps.

And materials to make more. Lengths are important because weapons have to fit the person's body and fighting style, which is why I have so many different lengths of weapons. They are tools, and each one has a use. If people become interested in learning armouring and the like, I also have 2 butted chainmail shirts, SCA grade hem, leather helm, and one full SCA grade plastic armour set along with 1 rattan stick and 1 SCA grade shield. I also do leatherwork, so if people are interested in getting videos on how to do that, it can be done as well. For fun and for armour.

Attached is the weapon core chart.

For awareness, this is a something that gets passed around the Dagorhir/Belegarth community, I did not make it.

That's pretty useful! I'm going to regret this but I want to make a curved hilt for my self build saber. It'll help with my Makashi until I can save up the $260 for the one I want for dueling.

Regret it? Why? Curved hilts are amazing (and ideal for Makashi tbh. ) Would love to see the process of how you build it tho!

That's the tricky part. I'm thinking about a low angle steel pipe elbow with double male threaded ends.

Why not get a pipe bender? (Or use on in the store if they let you)

If necessary I am willing. It's on my list of options haha. I have a piece of steel now that could work but it's not threaded and threads would be helpful.

You can also get a pipe threader! Or, borrow someone's.

Haha is suppose. I want to see what size feels good in my hand as well.
