Yep, the idea is open up the possibility for someone to wield it IF he/ she wants to, advisable or not! In addition to having a strong handle, he said he would cast heavy duty threaded rod in each handle that'll allow the handle sleeve in place and thread/ screw in position.Theoden said:I'm still wondering something : The main body of the sword( with grain and texture ) is bothering me. How will it be attached to the handle ? I mean, If we'd like to "swing" the sword, just for fun let's say, will it be attached strongly enough ? Or maybe once the mold is done there will be some specific things about that?
He said he was gunning for no more than 10-15 pounds, maybe lighter, since it's being made out of fiberglass, which's both lightweight and strong.Maiku said:What is the material? Any estimates on weight?

*chopchopchop*Theoden said:Can't wait to see the final result, painted. And the bloody version of course
Yeah, he's going to make it possible, so it can be wielded. Weight is uncertain right now, but we'll know soon judging by the quick progress he's making on the project!Master of the Obvious said:Fuck yes.
With one provision and I assume this is a given, but the thing needs to be able to support it's own weight by the handle. I don't expect to be whacking things with it, but it has to be sturdy enough to be held by the handle for pictures. So long as it'll do at least that, Im in.
