So it's that time again when a bunch of firefighters get together to participate in The Mustache Bash! A little background, the past 8 years we get together and have a mustache growing contest and donate the money to a burn camp for kids. So far we've raised about $30,000 over the years. We have a big costumed party at the end of the month. This years theme is pirates. So naturally I chose The Dread Pirate Roberts!
Lets to start off with the fun part, the sword. I wanted to do it on a budget because the sword prop is expensive and the sword prop is expensive ha!
Here's the materials list
- Flat aluminum bar
- Aluminum rod
- Drawer Knob
- Wood Dowel
- Plumber epoxy
- JB Weld (because I don't have anything to weld aluminum)
Pictures!
I cut the flat bar to a point and sanded down the edges. I also bent the rod to start the hilt!



More to come!
