So, I'm making a new two handed sword. Half inch square fiberglass core, and I want a very sturdy solid crossguard.
The way I have devised to do this is with a sort of pipe tee to anchor more of the same material as the core sticking out sideways, which will of course be padded.
Problem is, I have absolutely no idea where to find such a thing.
Something vaguely similar in design to this:
Except hopefully "T" shaped rather than "cross" shaped so I can butt it straight up against the blade without any of it included inside the blade foam. Also, made of steel not plastic for durability.
Anyone know if such a thing exists in a size that would fit 1/2" square fiberglass rod, what it's called, and where I can get it?
And . . . in before the naysayers, yes, everything will be padded safely.
