See below for templates and the Instructable! I wanted to try something different in this build, so I laminated the blades from contrasting woods so the edge profile would show up in an interesting way. It didn't have quite as much contrast as I hoped for, but still makes for an interesting result.
These aren't a build for practice or sparring, just a fun project.

I know this is an older post but I have been coming across Tube videos of people putting blue painters tape on both side then using super glue dabs to hold them in place. Everyone I have seen these people swear by this and say it's way better than double sided tape. Just a thought. Pat

it's leaf, for "Life", it to take life, I kinda like Ron Pearlman s weapon in Season of the Witch, it's totally outta line for the period, a full diamond cross section with, short, upturned cross gaurds, (wouldn't call them quillions, ) and it just looks like an old cartoon rendition of a sword.

Awesome job Tyson, I really liked that video. Now I really want to try making a sword! On a side note, my wife and daughter were watching this with me and were cracking up laughing at the tosses to the trash can. I do that every day from across the shop. Many times a day, but I never make a single shot.

is that a standard 15 deg panel routing bit? and is the bearing extension to eliminate the flat part of the panel a custom thing or did you just get a larger bearing to put on it? Thanks
@GeeksWoodShop
@GeeksWoodShop 7 лет назад
Yep, panel bit as you say. You do need a larger bearing to keep it from getting that ridge on the bit, however a bearing still leaves too large of a gap between the bearing and cutters, for the width of these blades. I ended up using a few washers as the bearing, and I make sure they are tight on each time I use it. Good eye.

just a nitpick, but it looks more like a bit short spatha, which is a long (can be long as european arming sword) gladius. But it's only my opinion

What thick ness wood are your swords I was going to use 2x4 and make multiple blades at once how thin would you go for children to play with
@GeeksWoodShop
@GeeksWoodShop 2 года назад
2x4 would be fine, but my guess is that you'd want to make them ~1/2" or thicker to beat around. These are thinner, but also made from denser wood. That's just my guess. Good luck, sounds fun!

The leaf shaped one would be called a greek xyphos
@MSh-vx3zv
@MSh-vx3zv 5 лет назад
Not true, many forms of gladius featured a leaf shape or “waisted” design, widening at the tip. If it had more of a cross guard, rather than the typical wooden one of a gladius, and no large sphere pommel, it would be. They are very similar swords though, I’ll give you that.
@saintbread5080
@saintbread5080 5 лет назад
But most gladiuses were straight
@MSh-vx3zv
@MSh-vx3zv 5 лет назад
S4Plays True, I wasn’t saying they were not. I was just saying that a leaf shaped gladius is still a gladius and not a xyphos, as it lacks too many features. The gladius was in use for over 600 years by the Romans, and had many variations.
@IckerRyuga
@IckerRyuga 7 лет назад
a Wooden gladius is basically a Rudis, isn't it?
@davidshattuck1639
@davidshattuck1639 6 лет назад
They're the same shape. In the actual Roman times a gladius was an actual metal sword used by gladiators and roman soldiers. A rudis was a ceremonial/symbolic sword, made out of wood, and given to a gladiator once he had fought long enough to earn his freedom. But they looked the same besides metal vs. wood.
