Step 1 • Draw a bastard sword on paper. More likely draw the outline of the bastard sword which you want to make. • 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 • Glue the pieces- In this step take a strong epoxy wood and make a strong mixture of glue. • Spread it evenly on one side of each hilt and glue them firmly to the center piece.
Step 5 • Sand your sword- Start from the hilt and take a fine girt sandpaper to make the edges smooth. • 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.
