How to make a wooden sword at home

First of all, the design drawings, for the time being, do not need detailed dimensions, the shape of the sword they want to be able to draw out on the good.

Then you have to start preparing materials, and drawing processing line, this time pay attention to adjust the size, before you start processing, be sure to consider clearly, the rationality of the processing route design.

That is, to avoid making the low-level error of designing a right-angle processing line inside the board, followed by the shortest path, I am purely manual, the route is not right, it is very laborious, and not so much time.

The first thing to do is the sword, saw straight line, is not easy, here is still just, relatively thin place, the difficulty is not too big

Because I bought the board is 1.7cm, so the need to cut into two pieces from the center, this time, a little inattentive, will saw crooked don't ask me how to know, so be sure to play the processing line out, in the time of playing the line, pay attention to find the reference system.

That is to say, try to use the lines and surfaces that have not been processed by ourselves as a reference, do the board businessmen are generally made by machine, high accuracy, and then hit a point every distance.

The more the number of points, the higher the accuracy, sawing, do not saw straight down, in this case there is a lot of resistance, it is easy to crooked.

Try to make the saw blade and the board surface have an angle, that is, oblique to the face of the saw, first let the saw teeth in the surface of the board sawing traces and the machining line we scratched coincide with a certain depth, and then vertically down to the saw, be careful to change the face from time to time.

To ensure that both sides are straight, this processing has the advantage of saving a lot of energy, do not be in a hurry, want to speed is not enough.

After that, the sawed surface is simply sanded to make sure that it can be placed horizontally

When machining the sword, pay attention to the cutting line, we drew the edge of the line has a certain curvature.

Follow the direction of the tangent line, and pay attention to the amount of cutting saw blade, will be cut to control the part of the part to be thrown away, and then the hilt.

After machining the two plates to size, they are first glued down with white latex, and when dry, holes are punched in them, and then a couple of strips of wood slightly thicker than the holes are cut and riveted in.

The sword grid is made because it is too difficult if the wood is hollowed out from the center, so by trickery, the grid is divided into two halves, and when it is done, it is put together.

Of course there will be gaps in this way, later I will introduce my own method of repairing the gaps, when designing the structure of the sword grid.

Note , you can't just make it look good, the sword grid is subject to lateral forces, so be sure to have a force transfer route between the sword strips and the grid.

The hilt of the sword must fit your hand so that it is comfortable to hold. But be careful to design the size with the size of the rope to be wrapped on it. I here ordinary layer wrapped two layers of the diameter increased by 0.8cm, the protruding part *** four layers, each layer ② mm.

This means that the diameter increased by 1.6cm, must pay attention to say, pay attention to the hilt here I am not chipped out, with a small chisel inside the carving knife.

To the blade part of the sword, the initial open out, meaning under the good, mainly for the following to do scabbard with, feel good students do not have to play line.

The first time to do the best to play a vertical straight line to ensure that the slope of each edge on both sides, and the size of the same.

Scabbard production, the saw straight line handmade here is very difficult Oh, we do not believe that you can try yourself first, direct vertical saw, then, not out of five centimeters, will be crooked, the blade of the saw will also be filled with wood shavings.

How to operate, said earlier Oh, chisel use and the front of the same small carving knife, beveled against the processing surface.

It is recommended to make a groove in the center, and then expand to both sides to the place where the typed line is, and then deepen both sides first to the desired depth, and then work the center after that to make the groove become flat just fine.

At this point, the basic function of a sword can be realized, sanding down the edges, making chamfers, rounding the corners, and making the lines on the sides of the scabbard beveled or rounded.

Ahem, according to some ergonomic principle, this would be quite comfortable both to look at and to touch.

The lattice should also start to be processed, making it beveled is a very good choice, and the angles in the middle of the sword will make the whole texture of the sword add a lot of color.

All in all, according to their own needs, what they like the look of what they made it, do the curvature of the small chamfering when you can use sandpaper to sand, but if you want to do more big, it is better to use a small carving knife.

When wrapping the rope, the first part of the beginning of the first reserved, and then a circle of pressure in the reserved part of the line, the end of the same, so that there will be no knots appear
