I made the template for the blades today using a box that one of my swords from Barringtons came in - mainly because that was the longest piece of cardboard I had.
Template: Balsa and cardboard, template (mechanism & handle outline), template (full length).
The length of the balsa planks is 36" inches, but it's actually a bit too long to have the blades at.
The mechanism needs to sit under my forearm and it makes them too long if kept at that length. So, the template is drawn at 32" inches which is plenty long enough. Don't forget, when I bend my arms, they will stick out anyway so I need to be careful on that front.
I can't say when there'll be more updates on the blades as I need to rely on my father on that side of things. I will update on them as and when I can, so be patient those of you who are reading this.
