OKAY, DUE TO A REQUEST FROM SOMEONE, I’M WRITING A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO MAKE HEI’S DAGGER FROM DARKER THAN BLACK.
OKAY, 1ST U NEED MATERIALS. THIS IS THE MATERIAL I USED, MDF. IT IS A TYPE OF WOOD THAT IS SUITABLE FOR MAKING SHORT WEAPONS AND IS LIGHT AND NOT AS HARD AS OTHER WOODS. BEWARE IF U ARE TRYING TO MAKE LONGER WEAPONS SUCJ AS KATANAS, THEY COULD BREAK EASILY.
NEXT, U NEED A PICTURE OF THE DAGGER AS A REFERENCE.
THIS IS THE PICTURE I USED..
OK, NOW U NEED A TEMPLATE OF YOUR DAGGER. I LOST MY ORIGINAL TEMPLATES AND I AM TOO LAZY TO DRAW NEW ONES FOR THIS TUTORIAL XD. U JUST NEED TO IMAGINE AND DRAW OUT THE LENGTH AND WIDTH THAT SUITS YOU.
PREPARE ANY TOOLS THAT U MAY NEED. E.G.CUTER, PENCIL, RULER, ETC.
U WILL NEED 2 TEMPLATES. ONE FOR THE HILT AND ONE MORE FOR THE BLADE. TAKE THE HILT’S BLUEPRINT, PLACE IT ON THE WOOD, AND TRACE THE SHAPE OF IT ONTO THE WOOD WITH A PENCIL.
AFTER THAT, U CUT IT OUT WITH YOUR CUTTER.
AFTER U CUT IT OUT, THIS IS WHAT YOU’LL GET.
NOW, USE THAT AS A TEMPLATE AND DRAW ONE MORE.
CUT THAT OUT TOO…
NOW U HAVE 2 HILTS. NEXT IS THE BLADE PART. TAKE THE TEMPLATE FOR YOUR BLADE, COMBINE IT WITH YOUR HILT AND DRAW THE HILT AGAIN.
THEN TRACE YOUR BLADE’S TEMPLATE IN THE RIGHT POSITION.
and REMEMBER, the blade and the 3rd holder is connected
jus like this
THE NEXT STEP IS TO GLUE THE PARTS TOGETHER. THE HILT-BLADE PART GOES IN BETWEEN THE 2 HILT PARTS.
NOW FOR THE HOLE. USE A DRILL THAT CAN BE FIT WITH A FILE TYPE HEAD.
OH YEAH, DON’T FORGET TO DRAW A CIRCLE FIRST.
FILE IT SLOWLY, THIS PART IS REALLY HARD AND WILL TAKE A LOT OF TIME.
BUT I REALLY FILED IT SLOWY…
UNTIL IT BECAME A NICE CIRCLE :-)
LASTLY, FILE THE BLADE.
AND YOU’RE DONE!
FOR THE COULRING, USE WHITE POSTER COLOR AS A BASE. PAINT IT ON THEN WAIT FOR IT TO DRY. NEXT, SAND IT GENTLY WITH SANDPAPER TO MAKE IT SMOOTH. LASTLY, PAINT IT WITH SPRAY PAINT.
