Time for some Cardboard Sword action using the Laser Cutter at Techshop!

Sketch

First I started with a super detailed scribbly sketch of a cool looking sword that I'm going to use as a Template.

Import

I imported the sketch into Illustrator and created a vector version for the Laser Cutter.

Assembly

With the pieces cut, I recruited a good friend Elmer to help put things together.

Glue, Glue, Glue.

I glued the pieces and stacked them together according to the precise calculations of my initial sketch.
