I proceeded to cut out more of the wing shapes, and tape it to the wood again, and again, and again, layering the foam board to make it less flat. Using that same lime-green poster board template I had created earlier, I cut the shape of the wings out of the foam board and duct-taped it to the wooden frame. More importantly, my 9th grade science fair project was mounted on foam board: Something about housing, and insulation, and the like. I somehow came across my 9th grade science fair project. Congrats! But what about those wings on the side? Those are still, regretfully, spectacularly flat. I did this for the other side of the wooden sword as well, so we ended up with the handle looking like this: I cut off some rubber hosing and duct-taped it to the handle part of the sword, like so: You’re going to have to excuse these poor iTouch photos, but here goes… Plus, carving it makes the little Styrofoam bits rain like snow.
As it turns out, Styrofoam is darn tricky to carve precisely. I thought maybe carving some of that packaging Styrofoam might work. Now, what to do? We have a nice piece of wood, but it’s a little flat. The handle, at least, had to be round!Īnd here’s where we get into failed idea #1: I then proceeded to smooth the edges with a file and some sandpaper… So, using the jigsaw, we cut the plywood into this sword-like shape. I cut out the design and traced it onto a piece of plywood. This guy, in addition to carving the Master Sword out of wood, also provides a nice sketch of the sword with the proper dimensions. I decided to sketch the Master Sword on a piece of poster board, using this tutorial and this picture of the Master Sword for reference. No project is good without proper planning, which is why mine turned out so horrendously. The results are passable in photos (though not inch-for-inch accurate) but looks kind of ghetto up close. Never before have I attempted to create, well, anything.ĭue to my lack of skills, I made a lot of mistakes and did a lot of guesswork during the whole process.
