Wooden Katana Tutorial Part 4- Drawing out the Katana

*Please Read This* Alright, so I decided to start over and make a new set of tutorials because of a recent change in my style. I made this switch to be more accurate and authentic, and will change the tutorials I have posted as a result. This video will cover how to draw out the shape of the katana onto the wood, and shows what a finished blade looks like. The next video will pick up after you've cut out the sword, and are ready to shape it. Be sure to save your leftovers, we use them later!!!! Things to Keep in MInd: These tutorials are designed to show you my process of making a wooden replica katana. The goal is to recreate the visual and construction aspects of the sword as a work of art. These are not designed to be used for play fights or heavy contact, rather as a showpiece or stage prop. During construction, there is going to be some risk of injury from the use of sharp knives, chisels, and other tools, AND I take NO responsibility for these risks. Be smart about your personal safety. Your best option is to wear a decent pair of gloves, wear eye protection, and a dust mask when appropriate. For you younger swordmakers, it would be best to have a parent help, and as a bonus, they may have some helpful design ideas. www.piratecaptain.deviantart.com
