FFVII Buster Sword Tutorial

Step 2: Getting the materials together

Materials:
Wood (plenty, pine will probably work best)
Ply wood (like 2 of those big sheets at the hardware store, make sure they are not broken!)
Gorilla Glue (recommended!)
Wood Glue (any, Elmer’s is good)
Elmer’s White School Glue
Fabric (I used white, I suggest it since it has no dye in it)
A couple of long, thin, wooden dowels
On big dowel (for the handle)
Nails for nail gun
Sand paper (both for the sander and just some sheet sand paper)
Wood Filler (like the white wood filler)
Water (hopefully you don’t have to buy this)
A roll of large brown craft paper (or some other large paper you can draw the whole blade on)
Expanding foam
Paint

Tools:
Power Drill
Air compressor + nail gun (or just an independent nail gun)
Saw (various different types will work, as long as it works for what you need – look at tutorial)
