Three Short Swords - With Authentic Battle Damage

[I am Groot!]

After seeing all the great knives being made I thought I would get into the action. I already have three satisfied customers.

Good work! I'd be afraid of the one in the red shirt. He looks very focused.

I have already made about 10 others for neiborhood kids. No lost eyes or screaming moms yet. Made them out of pine construction stakes, five min each. Best thing about them was a Saturday with not TV with my boys.

Nice!  Years ago I made swords just like that for my boys.  They got a full summer of use out of them, and always seemed to be the elected leaders of their packs due at least in part to the quality of their equipment.

The one in the middle will just kill you with cuteness..... :) Good job on the swords. A few years ago my son was all about the original Land of the Lost. I ended up making him one of the sleestak crossbows.

Crossbow is a great idea. We make bows and arrows, slingshots and fake guns. My favorite is a PVC bazooka.
Crossbow is now on the list.

I'd be afraid of anyone who chews on a 20g shotshell

Use PVC pipe for the crossbow, it's effective and inexpensive.

Hey, I did a short bow out of PVC once. I split a lemgth of half inch and drove it into a length of 3/4". It was NO TOY! PVC can make a dang fine bow or crossbow.

Yes, your correct a PVC bow or crossbow can be powerful, you just have to choose the correct diameter for the application. You can make them stout or far less powerful. Even better you can tip a shaft with a round ball to reduce throw distance or possible impalement.
