rough up and tape together 2 rods the total length of the weapon you're building. epoxy them together and come back tomorrow. build a normal blade so that the striking edge is on the 2-rod side of the core, as this gets rid of a lot of blade twist. use the excess fiberglass from cutting down the cores to build up the handle. this also gives you an oblong grip and more for the pommel to grab onto. my first attempt at this build design lasted 3 years before first repair and weighed exactly 1lb.

THEY SUCK AND WILL BREAK.
iF YOU MODIFY THEM NOT TO BREAK, THEY COST MORE THAN GOOD 1/2" SOLID FIBERGLASS.
AND THEN THEY STILL BREAK.
This has been an Uruk-Hai public service announcement.

I can build 8 oz sticks on .524 kite with barley boxes and 2# MC. That's finished weight. I don't, of course, because I like fat handles and counterweighted sticks.
Just buy some kite and fries.

scottsman wrote:fill them full of fiberglass resin and they will last along time I have using mine for over a year now and have had no problems what so ever.Even when you fill them full of resin they are exstremely fast it doesnt really add that much weight to them. Like I said befor I stll have to add weight to make weight. I prefer them to fiberglass. good luck.

I like the FL-524L because I can cut them in half and get two 34.5" swords out of each piece OR cut them 34/30 and get a 32.5 and a 36.5from each stick.
The .602 is good for shortish (4-5 feet) javelins.

Good video, just not for omni-blade swords.
