Intro: How to make a duct tape battle axeThis battle axe is perfect for a backyard battle or a game of LARP (Live action role play) in the nearby forests.It is easy to make, and with adult supervision kids can make there own.

This is the first instructable in a series about how to make weapons and other equipment for LARP.My main focus is that the weapons have to be safe, so kids can play with them without direct adult supervision, without getting hurt. And secondly so easy to make thabig kids, with help, can make it them self.

Next edition to my duct tape weapons guide can be found herewww.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-duct-tape-sword/

1. The pad is hollow and idle for padding the handle.

Step 2:The design and research faseStart by finding some pictures of "real" battle axes. Ex. do some google search.http://images.google.com/images?hl=da&sa=1&q=battle+axehttp://images.google.com/images?hl=da&sa=1&q=dane+axe

Now you have enough inspiration to make you own design.Just draw some quick sketches. They don't need to be beautiful, it is just so you will get the idea about how your axe will look like.

Image Notes1. this is the design I will use.

Image Notes1. this is the design I will use. A so called DANE AXE.

Step 3:Cardbord templateNow draw the design of your choice on the cardboard. This will be your template so be careful and take your time to make it perfect.I start by making the drawing with a pencil, and when I'm satisfied with the drawing, I make the final drawing with the black marker.


5/19


Image Notes1. Pencil drawing.

Image Notes1. final drawing, outlined with the black maker.

Step 4:Marking and cutting the foamNow draw the axe 3 times. And the smaller pieces 2 times on the foam. Pay attention to the placing of the pieces so you don't waste to much of the sleeping pad.If the stick for the handle is to long, now is the time to cut it into length.To be sure the pieces ends the right places I put numbers on them.In piece 2 cut a hole for the handle.


6/19


Image Notes1. Pay attention to the placing of the pieces so you don't waste to much of thesleeping pad.

Image Notes1. 3 inner pieces cut and stacked.

Image Notes1. in the middle piece ( number 2 ) draw the outline of the handle.

Image Notes1. bigger numbers so i don't misplace the pieces.


7/19


Image Notes1. the two smaller outer pieces.

Image Notes1. all pieces cut and ready to glue.

Image Notes1. cut the bamboo stick into the right length.

Step 5:Reinforcing and gluingOn piece 1 and 3 I put a cross of reinforcement tape. This will stabilize the axe to ensure that it will not break or be ripped apart at the thin part.

Now apply glue to one side of piece 1 and 3. And apply glue to both sides on piece 2. Also apply glue to the end of the handle. Let it dry for 10-15 minutes, and press pieces hard together.

Now apply glue to the two small side pieces and the outer side of piece 1 and 3. Let it dry for 10-15 minutes, and press the pieces hard together.

Be careful the two pieces glue together very quickly, so be sure that they are aligned you will not be able to correct it. The only way to correct it, is by cutting away on touter side.

Now cut the sitting pad into strips. I need two pieces for this axe. Normal I use pipe insulation but it was sold out the places I use to buy it. But they had this sitting padand that will do the job.Cut a triangle grove that fits into the triangle of the axe. And slip the pipe onto the handle.

Safety note

If your using the same glue I use you need to have good ventilation. If it's not to cold it's best to glue outside.It's possible to get waterbased contact glue if you make this with kids, I recommend using that.

Image Notes1. the vulnerable part of the axe. The reinforcement tape prevents the axeheadform being ripped apart.

Image Notes1. glue2. dull blade used for spreading the glue.

Image Notes1. I use a thin and even layer of glue.

Image Notes1. glue on the end of the stick

Image Notes1. The middle part is glued on both sides. I put it on a glass so it won't get glue tothe table.

Image Notes1. After drying the layers are stacked and pressed hard together to make astrong bond.


9/19


Image Notes1. The outside is glued

Image Notes1. Cut between the pipes.

Image Notes1. while the sides dry I put on the handle.

Image Notes1. I draw the triangle shape that match the triangle on the axehead.

Image Notes1. perfect fit.


10/19


Image Notes1. both top and handle is cut and fit to the axehead.

Image Notes1. The small side pieces are now glued. And the axehead is ready for finalshaping.


11/19


Step 6:Cutting and shaping the edgesTo make the foam look like a real battle axe you need to cut the edge. If the layers got unaligned when gluing, this is the right time to cut that edge also.

Image Notes1. cut the foam to make a even surface.2. cut here to indicate a sharp cutting edge.

Image Notes1. first side done.

Image Notes1. both sides shaped, and ready for the duct tape


12/19


Step 7:TapingPut strips of duct tape on the axe. Be careful when applying the tape special around the corners. Take the hobby knife and cut the tape into strips so it will not getwrinkled. When applying a new strip of tape, don't make the overlay more than 1 cm. If you put on to much tape, the axe gets hard and heavy, making it dangerous toplay with.

Image Notes1. start by putting a strip of tape all the way around the edge.

Image Notes1. cut the tape into strips.

Image Notes1. the strips now folds perfectly around the edge.

Image Notes1. Next strip of tape.


13/19


Image Notes1. be careful around the edge so the tape don't get wrinkled.

Image Notes1. more strip cutting.

Image Notes1. the finished battleaxe ready for decorations.

Step 8:DecorationI use the black marker to draw some decoration and to highlight the edge to give the axe more depth.

Image Notes1. Thors hammer.2. Text in rune.

Image Notes1. Mark of Ulfberh+t a very famous weapon smith from the iron and viking age. Hmade swords but who cares it is just for fun.2. Ulfberh+t logo


14/19


Image Notes1. here it is the finished battle axe. Ready for battling...

Step 9:Happy kids with there battle axe.Now make you own axe and start battling!

Image Notes1. Two more of my duct tape axes ready for battle.2. Wait for the instructables to come, for a description of how to make a sword.

Image Notes1. ATTAAAAAAAAAAAACK .......

americaneagle says: Feb 28, 2010. 5:35 PM REPHow can I start a LARP group in my area?I want to have a club or group in my area. Also can somebody tell me the rules of LARP? How can I have a battin a park near my house? Any instructables for LARP weapons or armor would be appreciated.

jwhalen523 says: Feb 22, 2011. 6:36 PM REPif you just want to get some people together to spend a day boffer fighting then its no more complicated than throwing a party. just keep things safe andwrite up some simple combat rules

if you want a more complicated role playing game then i recommend you find one in your area. there are groups that have weekend long events a fewtimes a year with a continuing plot. each one has its own rule unique rules system, most of them loosely based on D&D rules. there is most likely a gro

like this within a two hour drive from where you live. ask around check online for any in your area. they will have websites where you can register for anevent and read their rules. its a lot of fun

Veve Tech says: May 11, 2010. 12:43 PM REPNot sure if you are aware, but your axe says"A-I-T-A-W-D-U-I" in Viking Runes. Not sure what it means though.

morfmir says: Nov 28, 2009. 7:11 AM REPLooks good, it looks a lot like my bearded viking axe.

But you should consider padding the handle also, if your planing to fight with it. It can hurt a lot it you get hit with a unpadded wooden handle.

/Thomas

Pryo Chain says: Feb 15, 2010. 10:11 AM REPAmen to that, I have one boffer that I made, It's really heavy, a war hammer with an enormous head. I decided to not pad the handle. One time, Imissed my brother with the head, and whacked him in the side with a PVC pipe with a lot of inertia.

Abbey_Lad says: Dec 3, 2009. 3:22 AM REPI like to foam sitting pad, any idea where these can be picked-up?

morfmir says: Dec 3, 2009. 6:59 AM REP

I just bought it in my local hardware store.

/Thomas

red-king says: Nov 26, 2009. 2:26 PM REPawesome!

morfmir says: Nov 26, 2009. 3:11 PM REPthanks, I'm puzzled why it isn't featured. I can't see any consistency in what is and what is not featured.

I'm just working on the next instructable, the elven duct tape sword.

/Thomas

Clonebear says: Nov 27, 2009. 8:17 PM REPI eagerly await the Elven Duct Tape Sword!

AresPredator says: Nov 21, 2009. 1:21 AM REPGreat instructable!I run a boffer/LARP group and we focus mostly on swords and cudgels, since the prototype axes we built were fragile where the blade

joins the haft. I hadn't thought about the inner reinforcement cross tape that you mentioned in step #5, that was just sweet!

Guess we'll be seeing some axes in the battlefield soon! Thanks!

morfmir says: Nov 22, 2009. 5:12 AM REPI have made a lot of axes before I came up with this design. And it seems to be a durable design.Many of the first ones I made got ripped apart. In the heat of the battle the axe easy gets stuck in the opponent and when you pull the axe it gets rippedapart.If you make some after my design I will like to know your experience in your group.

/Thomas

AresPredator says: Nov 22, 2009. 7:43 AM REPWe'll probably have a couple of workshops in December and I'm planning to include your design in it. In the meantime, if you want to take a look atsome of what we do, feel free to come to our website (www.swordplay.com.br ). The site is in Portuguese (we are based in Brazil), but just scrolldown the screen to see some pictures of the group. Also, there's a link called "Arsenal" on the right sidebar where some of our weapons are ondisplay.

Thanks again for the great project idea :-)

corey_caffeine says: Nov 20, 2009. 4:12 PM REPNICELYDONE!!! was this your first try? It's possibly one of the best axes i've seen.

morfmir says: Nov 20, 2009. 5:15 PM REPThanks, no, it is very far from my first. I have made a lot, at one time I make 20 axes, 20 swords, 20 shields and 2 hammers. You can see some of themon the last pictures. It is the ones on the pictures withe the kids in war paint.

I have also been working in a youth club where I had a workshop where kids came and played tabletop RPG and LARP. And made there own weapons

/Thomas

roblin90 says: Nov 18, 2009. 11:05 AM REPVery nice! A 5 star for sure!

P.s. What's that duct tape thing in the bottom right hand corner of the last pic?

morfmir says: Nov 18, 2009. 12:09 PM REPBTW. How did you find this instructable?I can't see it on the recent page. It is 24 hours ago I completed it, I don't understand why it takes that long to show up.

/Thomas

roblin90 says: Nov 18, 2009. 1:03 PM REPSince I have subscribed to you, it showed up on my RSS feed to your page. I have no idea either. When I posted my first Instructable it never turneup on the main page.I don't know quite how it works because if you look at the dates on the most recent pages they are fairly recent (within hours) and have seeminglyskipped out many earlier submitted Instructables.

But it stillexists anyway.

morfmir says: Nov 18, 2009. 2:05 PM REPokay. I will give it 24 hours more. If it don't show by then I will write a admin.I searched the forum and I can see that it is a common problem, instructables not showing up, or being very late.

/Thomas

roblin90says: Nov 20, 2009. 1:37 PM REP

I saw this Instructable on the recent page 5 minutes ago.

NOW it exists!

morfmir says: Nov 18, 2009. 12:03 PM REPHi Robin

Thanks for the good rating.

It's a big duct tape warhammer. Later I will make a instructable about how to make it.

My daughter made her first website. It is a review of Beowulf. She's just a youngster, but Ithought that you, as the master of Danish lore and craft, mightenjoy it.

The hammer is the hardest weapon to make. So I think that will be the last one in my duct tape weapon guide.The hardest part with the hammer is to make it durable with out making it hard and heavy.

morfmir says: Nov 19, 2009. 8:39 AM REPFunny web page your daughter have made, very interesting drawings. I love the tale about Beowulf. Did you know that the place it supposed to havetaken place is i Lejre? Only 25km from where I live.

Tetrafish says: Nov 19, 2009. 7:58 AM REPILove it! :-D

Ikinda made stuff like this when I was a kid back in the mid 80's. My inspirations were video games like Golden Axe, Rastan, and Gladiator
