How to make a nice sturdy lightweight keyblade by Legofanatic
IMGP4076.JPG
This is my instructable on how to make a nice life size replica of a kingdom hearts keyblade. This replica can be swung and played with a lot before it will brake. This will also be great for cosplaying. Hope you all like it.  Oh and please leave a comment about what you think.
Thanks,

~Legofanatic

Step 1: Tools and Items

These are all the tools and items around the house you will need to make your keyblade. The only thing I did not picture is spray paint because you can chose what color you want it to be.

Couldn't you use foam board instead of card board? It's much more sturdy.

hey this looks like an awesome tutorial but I can't seem to view the pictures in the hand guard step in a larger size. It seems to work with every other step. I really wish I could make it but I can't view it :(

hey instead of sawing 2 times on the pipe, you can just put the start of the tape measure on the good end. just a suggestion.

My PVC was bent bad so I had to cut twice but yes you are right, you can do that.
eli241 says: Aug 19, 2010. 2:09 AM
about the handguards, what is the exact distance between the two lines? i have a picture below.. can you tell me what are the distances betweem the yellow arrows? (sorry about the bad drawing)

hey nice keyblade! can u put a drawing of the handguards? cause i dont know how to draw it, your drawing is not that specific...
Legofanatic (author) says: Aug 18, 2010. 9:27 AM
Thanks a lot. Now, what exactly are you wanting me to do??? I gave all the deminsions for it so you should be able to draw it very easily.

very nice, i shall make this asap :D
Legofanatic (author) says: Mar 26, 2010. 10:08 AM
Cool. Be sure to put lots of hot glue and tape on so it will make it super sturdy. Within the next few days I should be posting how to paint it if you want to wait for that. Thanks
Fox-san48 says: Apr 20, 2010. 5:03 PM

i remember playing that game
Legofanatic (author) says: Apr 2, 2010. 8:37 PM
yeah, it's a cool game.

Nice, I like the hilt on this one it looks a lot more like the kingdom key. Thats the same way i did my hilt and put that ring on the hilt. You should get yellow and silver tape and make that either Mickey or Sora's Key, I recomend Mickeys cuz i dont see many of thos and i linke his
Legofanatic (author) says: Mar 26, 2010. 1:04 PM
Wow that's crazy. Before you even posted your comment I was talking to my mom about getting yellowish gold and silver spray paint to do Mickeys keyblade. I guess we both really like mickeys keyblade. When I paint it I will do an instructable on that.
FFVIIBOY says: Mar 26, 2010. 1:12 PM
Yeah to late for mine, although i could cover it with yellow tape i like it like this, actually im makin an instructable on my Keyblade right now
FFVIIBOY says: Mar 26, 2010. 2:25 PM
Awesome i finished the Keyblade tutorial
Legofanatic (author) says: Mar 26, 2010. 2:47 PM

FFVIIBOY says: Mar 26, 2010. 3:04 PM
Yep and its up
Legofanatic (author) says: Mar 26, 2010. 6:39 PM
I know I already saw it.
FFVIIBOY says: Mar 26, 2010. 6:50 PM
cool. it was kinda hard to do cuz i didnt have the supplies to make it
Legofanatic (author) says: Mar 26, 2010. 7:56 PM
yeah. Oh by the way, I got the spray paint to do mickeys keyblade. I am going to paint it tomorrow. When I do, I will make an instructable. 
FFVIIBOY says: Mar 27, 2010. 4:36 AM
Or you can put a picture of it when its painted at the end of this instructable, and then make an instructable on it
Legofanatic (author) says: Mar 28, 2010. 4:17 PM
Yeah, I think I will do that.
FFVIIBOY says: Mar 28, 2010. 4:42 PM
