you can think up all right the first

you can think up all right the first thing we need to do with this foam board

thing we need to do with this foam board

thing we need to do with this foam board is chop the templates down into

the paper that’s really cool because it

the paper that’s really cool because it leaves us with a really smooth and

leaves us with a really smooth and

leaves us with a really smooth and professional-looking cut now hopefully

professional-looking cut now hopefully

professional-looking cut now hopefully you didn’t cut the blade out yet because

you didn’t cut the blade out yet because

you didn’t cut the blade out yet because there’s a cool little trick I’m going to

there’s a cool little trick I’m going to

there’s a cool little trick I’m going to show you for doing that next move the

show you for doing that next move the

show you for doing that next move the arm of the styro-slicer’ to the side of

arm of the styro-slicer’ to the side of

arm of the styro-slicer’ to the side of the cutting base then slide the wire

the cutting base then slide the wire

the cutting base then slide the wire back into the center of the work surface

back into the center of the work surface

back into the center of the work surface and you’ll see you can adjust the angle

and you’ll see you can adjust the angle

and you’ll see you can adjust the angle of the wire how cool is that

of the wire how cool is that

of the wire how cool is that this means that now we can give our

this means that now we can give our

this means that now we can give our blade a nice beveled edge so set the

blade a nice beveled edge so set the

blade a nice beveled edge so set the wire around 45 degrees and double check

wire around 45 degrees and double check

wire around 45 degrees and double check it’s pointing away from you then lay the

it’s pointing away from you then lay the

it’s pointing away from you then lay the sword flat on the cutting base and trace

sword flat on the cutting base and trace

sword flat on the cutting base and trace the blade

the blade

the blade keep the wire is perpendicular to the

keep the wire is perpendicular to the

keep the wire is perpendicular to the lines of the template as you can then

lines of the template as you can then

lines of the template as you can then carefully trace the edges in four

carefully trace the edges in four

carefully trace the edges in four separate passes when you made it around

separate passes when you made it around

separate passes when you made it around to the other side of the hill then stop

to the other side of the hill then stop

to the other side of the hill then stop and pull the sword straight back to warn

and pull the sword straight back to warn

and pull the sword straight back to warn you to release the wire go ahead and

you to release the wire go ahead and

you to release the wire go ahead and peel the styrofoam off from around the

peel the styrofoam off from around the

peel the styrofoam off from around the edges and take a look at that cool

edges and take a look at that cool

edges and take a look at that cool beveled blade and now that you got the

beveled blade and now that you got the

beveled blade and now that you got the hang of it go ahead and do the other

hang of it go ahead and do the other

hang of it go ahead and do the other sword the same way so we can move on to

sword the same way so we can move on to

sword the same way so we can move on to modifying the thickness of the handle

modifying the thickness of the handle

modifying the thickness of the handle next now for this next trick you’re

next now for this next trick you’re

next now for this next trick you’re going to need to adjust the blade of the

going to need to adjust the blade of the

going to need to adjust the blade of the styro-slicer’ so it hangs horizontally

styro-slicer’ so it hangs horizontally

styro-slicer’ so it hangs horizontally over the cutting base and just like that

over the cutting base and just like that

over the cutting base and just like that you’ve got the ability to cut foam bits

you’ve got the ability to cut foam bits

you’ve got the ability to cut foam bits in half the blade can adjust to any

in half the blade can adjust to any

in half the blade can adjust to any thickness you want but for simplicity

thickness you want but for simplicity

thickness you want but for simplicity we’ll just be cutting a few select

we’ll just be cutting a few select

we’ll just be cutting a few select pieces in half the only parts that

pieces in half the only parts that

pieces in half the only parts that actually need to be downsized are the

actually need to be downsized are the

actually need to be downsized are the two small blades and the two handle

two small blades and the two handle

two small blades and the two handle grips which you can see leave us with

grips which you can see leave us with

grips which you can see leave us with four of each but you can scrap the ones

four of each but you can scrap the ones

four of each but you can scrap the ones with paper glued to them because we

with paper glued to them because we

with paper glued to them because we won’t be needing them anymore

won’t be needing them anymore

won’t be needing them anymore alright the pieces are all cut to shape

alright the pieces are all cut to shape

alright the pieces are all cut to shape so let’s peel the paper templates off

so let’s peel the paper templates off

so let’s peel the paper templates off the foam and if you’re careful not to

the foam and if you’re careful not to

the foam and if you’re careful not to rip the paper you can actually use the

rip the paper you can actually use the

rip the paper you can actually use the templates again to make another sword

templates again to make another sword

templates again to make another sword now before going any further it’s a good

now before going any further it’s a good

now before going any further it’s a good idea to lay out all the pieces on a

idea to lay out all the pieces on a

idea to lay out all the pieces on a table to make sure they’re all there you

table to make sure they’re all there you

table to make sure they’re all there you should have 28 pieces altogether and if

should have 28 pieces altogether and if

should have 28 pieces altogether and if you do then let’s get busy gluing them

you do then let’s get busy gluing them

you do then let’s get busy gluing them together there’s a little diagram on the

together there’s a little diagram on the template that shows how the finished

template that shows how the finished

template that shows how the finished sword is going to look so start

sword is going to look so start

sword is going to look so start assembling it by laying one of the base

assembling it by laying one of the base

assembling it by laying one of the base blades flat on the table and gluing the

blades flat on the table and gluing the

blades flat on the table and gluing the hilt to the top take a little time to

hilt to the top take a little time to

hilt to the top take a little time to adjust the bottom and the sides they

adjust the bottom and the sides they

adjust the bottom and the sides they match up with the base plate on the

match up with the base plate on the

match up with the base plate on the bottom then simply follow the pattern

bottom then simply follow the pattern

bottom then simply follow the pattern for the rest of the pieces and you

for the rest of the pieces and you

for the rest of the pieces and you should end up with two completed sides

should end up with two completed sides

should end up with two completed sides of the sword that look identical now

of the sword that look identical now

of the sword that look identical now simply add a generous amount of glue to

simply add a generous amount of glue to

simply add a generous amount of glue to the flat sides on the bottom then gently

the flat sides on the bottom then gently

the flat sides on the bottom then gently but firmly seal them together that’s

but firmly seal them together that’s

but firmly seal them together that’s pretty much it all that’s left for
