More from ~lyrabardock

Counting you down Last night you told me
what I'd waited
16 years
7 months
and
5 days
to hear:
You were proud of me
You said I'd done a good job
But tonight I know
You    lied    to    me.
You'd never admit that you didn't mean it.
That you could do something I could do;
That you could lie.
That you're imperfect.
Never catch yourself making a mistake.
But its clear to me you lied to me,
Since tonight the screaming starts again,
The momentary flaw in my imperfection cast aside
In favor of tradition:
Your words ripping me to pieces
Declaring my irresponsibility
Over neglecting to put the napkins on the table.
Victory shunned
In favor of d

I built this kick ass sword from cardboard, a bamboo pole, and some metalic duct tape for a convention last month. There was only one thing missing... a counterbalance. I quickly through one together from a plastic cup, some rocks, and some more duct tape today, for the fun of it... and through some miracle, its now perfectly balanced, as demonstrated on the left.

The right hand photo is a bad shot taken in the mirror, meant to show the size of the sword... its a full 7 feet tall with the counterbalance, and thus perfect for me to hold like that... Which allowed me to discover I have short arms.

The weapon as a whole weighs just over 8 lbs now... If it were really cast of metal, it'd be more like 200. No wonder they call it a heavy blade.

Don't get in my way, I've got a score to settle.
The blood I hunt is stain enough on my hands and I don't wish to add yours to it.
Now move, insolent dog, lest your name be added to my list of murders.

Lift I could do. I'm not that weak. Swing... thats another story. The cardboard ones a lot easier to swing now though, with the balance... *grins*
