My dad made me one, a bit bigger than those, and cut from a 2×4 with hand tools, for a Halloween costume, cardboard and aluminum foil armour. It got repurposed by my mother and saw years of use fishing clothes out of the ringer washer. 🙂

I like the joke at the end that makes fun of your kids. Want to be on my podcast? You'd be the prototype episode.
Chris Lhamon
Why not make it into a short? 😉 I'm just joking because I saw your video about it. I hate shorts anyways.

Matt, you may be the only person who's made what I would consider a valid case for using hot snot for such an application.

would've loved to have wooden swords as a kid

Slightly disappointed by the lack of swordfight action footage
xue roger

My granddad made me a sword when I was younger, though his took much longer to make. He carved it out of a single log. Took him quite a while but it was beautiful. Unfortunately as a kid I didn't have the appreciation for this, and while playing ended up breaking it and no longer have it. I regret that now… too bad I don't have a time machine to go back 30 years and make sure that doesn't happen. 😄

I took out one of my brother’s tear ducts with a sword like that when I was 7!

Way to go, Dad…..

Alex Steele would have a 12 episode series on a blade like this.. but his would be damascus.. maybe you can make a wooden damascus version.. lol

y'know what they always say, everyone loves a quickie !

Swords and rubber band guns. Kids need more memories of them.

I don’t pronounce “project” like you, but when I read the title I certainly did.
Harrison Spain
Love how you number your kids; I did the same :-).
Scott Mew
It's a good project although I would have used a hardwood like maple. A pine sword gets chewed up really fast by children.

Remember when this guy used to post videos worth watching?

Assuming your three are similar to my brothers and I 50 years ago, it wouldn't have been long before there where smacked finger. We each had a wooden sword and a shield that was painted white with the red crusaders cross. These were made by our Dad as part of our Christmas present one year.

What a GREAT dad!

Follow-up video of when one of the kids whacks another one… because that's what siblings are for! ^_^

Hot glue huh? What's next, matching shields put together with pocket joints?
Mr. Marc G.
If the swords don't have to be taken away from the kids a few times, then the kids aren't playing with them the right way. Hahahaha.

Minor nitpick: I think the crossguard should curve towards the blade, and not towards the hand, since it's function is, I believe, to protext the hands from another sword sliding down your blade.

When you have three kids you always have to make four. 😃

Nicely done! I built shords for my kids this week two and got carried away and made an arsenal for their friends two once I'd already got the cnc gcode tweaked 🙂 I'm still learning, soo that took far longer than 12 minutes!
