For Oneday we tried to make a gift for our friend. I did this with my partner Jun. we made a somewhat successful sword. First what we did was we had to gather our materials which were foam boards, files, craft knife, and etc. We found an example of the sword making on YouTube and it really did help us a lot. First, we outlined the foam board and then tried our best to get size right.
In the process of making the sword, we encountered many problems that were hard to solve so instead we went around it.
One problem we encountered was the foam board was very hard to cut mostly because our knife was blunt so it was hard to cut through the board, so what we did was we found the box where all the blades were kept and just got a new one.
Another problem we encountered was trying to make the hilt, at first we couldn’t stick the hilt on the blade so we put a ton of hot glue but then Dr. Hill came in and came up with a solution to stick a pencil in and stabilize which worked and solved the problem.
We didn’t have enough time to finish our sword so it was kind of incomplete. Next time if I could change something I would manage our time more efficiently. but overall out sword was pretty good.
