How to Make a Simple and Easy Buster Sword
Intro: How to Make a Simple and Easy Buster Sword
STEP 1: Materials and Work Space
Nails (or screws if you would like to)
hammer
Drill
Thick dowel (I used 1 1/8 inch dowel)
Drill bit matching your dowel
Glue (I used gorilla glue but you can use wood glue)
wood (Desirably 3/4 inch high 5 1/2 inch wide and another at 3 3/8 wide by 1 1/2 inch high)
something to prop wood up on
saw (table or hand held you decide)
Paint ( if desired)
Tape measure (if you like to be exact)
STEP 2: Starting Off
STEP 3: Glueing the Blade
After the handle dries prop up the blade so it is at the level on the hilt that you want. Then put glue on the bottom of the blade. put it against the hilt which I would also recommend propping up. wait until glue is strong it does not have to be absolutely dry.
STEP 4: Nailing for Security
Use nails (I used 6. 3 on each side of the hilt) to put blade in a secure position nail in the handle by nailing through the wood on the side of the hilt. For extra security put nails in the wedge that the gorilla glue creates around the handle.
STEP 5: Final Touches and Congratulations
Using the drill create two holes at the lower part of the blade. Paint if desired and cut handle to desired shape if you would like. You have a Buster Sword. If you would like to put screws in the handle for design you can.

that is why i recomended making it smaller
my handle broke because it was old wood
but i still have it but I would recomend a metal or thicker handle
or a smaller overall sword
