Leather and Foam Crafting Tutorial Runeblade
This is the digital pattern of an cosplay runesword. This is more of a mixed form between foam and leather build with a medium degree of difficulty. It is easy to exchange leather part with foam. So far I can only recommend it as a cosplay weapon, as I have not tested it as a larp weapon. Quite a lot of glue is used and several waiting times are involved. The core is made by a smalle piece of wood wrapped in foam and leather. This makes it stable, good to handle and save. The overall weight is about 750g, it still has a strong swing, so it still is unpleasant to be hit by it with it, so be carefull when handling. Difficulty: medium Tools needed: basic to advanced Recommended materials 2, 5 mm (6 oz) veg. tanned leather soft leather usually used for cloth (2 straps 6 cm 2 2, 5 inch wide, 1 m 3 foot long and wrapping for the handle) soft drying glue (wooden glue) Ultra high density EVA foam Low high density EVA foam (2 straps 2 cm 4, 5 inch wide 1 m 3 foot l
