Hey all, Sorry if I sound weird I'm still pretty new to the forums. I've been working on my Kill Bill Johnny Mo's swords for a while. I'm putting this up as a thread of:
A. Look at how cool this is.
B. Showing the work in progress and eventually as a howto.
C. Most immediately to enlist help as I'm not sure I can tell what the length of the sword is.
Sometimes I measure and have each handle being just over 15 inches long and other times its just over 18 inches. Each handle of course is the scabbard of the other side’s blade. So in grand total when they are combined the total length is somewhere in the realm of 31 to 37 inches, 2.583 to 3.08 feet.
Hopefully someone can narrow it down further for me. I’m shooting for accuracy after all. If not I’ll err on the side of length 3 feet feels closer than 2.5 but it’s difficult to tell.
I know (because Adam Savage says so) that often there are more than one prop used for different parts of the scene. It is even likely that the staff version before he reveals it as swords may be different than the two swords he has.
So here are the pics I'm trying to use as references. No judgements for the liberal use of ms paint I gotta use what is available to me. and Im trying to keep the pricetag for this prop under $200 including the tools I needed to buy to make it (Dremel, bits etc. coping saw etc.)
