hi guys just wanted to introduce myself and have to say i am happy to see a community that takes part in this. i was first introduced to this by my friends and have been psyched to get started, i will be seeing you all for the first time this sunday at namaqua park, i live about two minutes away lucky for me and will be ready to see it all. i also have a couple of questions to ask you guys and have been running around all day to grab materials for building a sword and shield but have decided to make a video instead to show you all. XD
edit:will post a video later tommorrow cause its going to take all night to upload, but here are my questions,
my sword is made right with camping foam, its covered and stuff but the 1/2 inch pvc pipe tends to have bend about 2-3inches when i try to bend it or whack something really hard with it. do you think its going to big of a factor or will it just be my disadvantage?
instead of cutting up a couch or going out to buy open celled foam, i have about 200 yards of the puke colored carpet pad, yes you heard me right, its a 1/2 inch carpet pad that i was wondering could be used instead of the couch foam, its fairly dense and comes in sheets rather than blocks, could this be used on my shield combined with closed cell foam as long as its covered?
thanks again
