To make an original miniature sword yourself, you will first need to draw it on paper. This will allow you to determine the main dimensions and shape of the future homemade. If you can’t draw, then the finished drawing of the sword for every taste can be downloaded on the Internet.
In general, for the manufacture of swords steel grade 65G is excellent, which is then hot forged. However, since we will be making a miniature sword, a piece of a saw blade for metal for a pendulum saw machine is quite suitable as a blank for a blade.
Such a homemade sword will be a great souvenir or gift. Only it is necessary to make a sheath for him so as not to accidentally get hurt, because the blade will make it very sharp, like a real sword. After you have drawn (or printed) a sketch, you can begin to make a sword.
The main stages of work
We cut out the template from paper and glue it to the surface of the saw blade. Then we clamp the workpiece in a vice and cut out the "silhouette" of the sword with the help of a grinder or dremel. Also, it will be necessary to make the descent of the blade using a grinding wheel for this.
In the next step, we sharpen the blade. Then from the aluminum plate you need to cut the guard. You can think of an arbitrary form. We draw contours with a marker, and then we cut it out with the help of a small grinder. We are finalizing the file.
At the last stage of work, we make the handle of a brass or copper tube, suitable in size. Then we collect all the details together. We also recommend watching a video where the master class is shown in detail how to make an original miniature sword with your own hands.
