This was very fun to make, and I could not have done it without help from a friend with a Lathe. >w<
Good luck with your costume
>w< I think I have described how I made it in previous replies here...let me see if I can find you some explanations..(I didn't copy all the links...but if you look down in the comments you can find the real ones.. ^^)
*************
Oh! Major note on the spear...Either use good thick wooden dowels and wood glue to join the pieces or (preferably) metal joining screws...(One of these thingys... [link] ) I found this out the hard way since the very moment we got to the hotel room and unpacked at AWA... the spearhead broke from the spear shaft
** when asked about the gold ornament on the spear's end**
I made the little ornament out of sculpy molded over an aluminum foil armature formed around an ...um...eye screw? I don't really know what to call it...it is a heavy metal screw with a loop at the end of it...
the screw end is sticking out and is used to attach the ornament to the wooden pole...
the loops are reinforced with wire (that I wound around the screw (like a theta) before I put on the foil and sculpy...
the only flaw I had with this design is that if you twist it too hard...the metal screw within will compress the foil around it and cause it to wobble a bit..(but it does not effect the tightness of the attachment)
you can see it unfinished in the next to last panel here...[link]
**********
As for the spear head I carved it from a single piece of wood using a jigsaw to take away most of the wood and a motorized wheel sander to get it more the right shape...and then I did the rest by hand *sanding...loooots of sanding
Ah good luck
Use double-ended screws like this [link] they are very strong
oh and be sure to paint it WELL in advance to let the paint dry completely ^^ spray paint stayes sticky forever
