The lad wants a pirate party for his sixth birthday next month, a plastic sword will just not work as the one Jake has in the Walt Dysney Junior Magazine, its on on page seven and eight, is all wood, can I make him a wooden sword was the question.
We had the pictures in the comic, so that was the basic thing to copy, what was made came out as a close enough sword and the lad was happy.
Ben with his sword before we glued it up, the hand cover was made from two pieces of 3mm bending plys, slotted to fit over the sword handle, it worked a treat. I can think of a number of toy items you can make with bending plywood, a trains boiler tube for one, how aboat the bonnet on a Bugatti car?
Superform bending plywood is available from selected outlets in Cape Town.

Cut shaped and assembled in around one hour, we can make more?
Ben is kitted out and ready for his pirate party!
