Fixing my Broken Training Sword

[Anonymous No.2739026]

I spent 500 bucks on this meme only for UPS to fuck it up during the shipping process. The Blade weighs rough 20lbs with attachments that can increase the weight to 30lb. I can neither get refund, replacement, or repair. How the fuck do I get this handle back on and have it strong enough the force of 20lb blade being swung. Wood glue? Mending plates? FUCK!

It's a 2x12 the guy cut with a jigsaw and ran over the edges with a router. From your pic it broke on a knot which means he didn't even bother to do the minimum amount of effort to make sure the board he used didn't have a knot where the handle would be. It should have been stronger if he just glued 1x2 oak boards to the rough shape and routed it bit then it would take more than an hour to make because he would have to wait for the glue to dry.twrhn

Is that what these training swords are for? If so, why is the weight important.

But OP paid 500 bucks for a simple board, and he calls it a training sword. I'm fucking at a loss to understand what is going on here.

Your best and only bet would to be what first post said.
I would tell you to cut the breaks off flat and straight, drill the largest diameter hole that the handle can manage to fit inside, make the hole as deep as possible too, even up into the blade area, you may have to buy a special long bit for that, and you'll have to be super careful not to blow out a side while drilling it. Buy a hardwood dowel, and wood glue. Fill both holes with wood glue. Pound dowel in as deeply as possible and don't worry about glue all over the place. Then attach the second half and clamp if you can. Allowing a few days dry time, but make sure to wipe away your excess glue, or you'll be sanding it off later.

I’m the seller. I’d like to address a few things. First, the sword was $299, not $500. OP payed $337 including shipping. It includes the attachable weights and hardware for them. That’s what the holes are for. All swords cut, planed, routed, drilled, sanded, branded and are given multiple layers of stain and protective coating. I have stood on the swords between sawhorses to test the strength and they don’t break. UPS throws the boxes around, even with fragile stickers on them, so when I send out hundreds of swords, breaks are inevitable.
I have replaced every single sword broken by UPS for free.
I’m not scamming anyone, I sell exactly what I advertise. Giant wooden swords. I’m not forcing anyone to buy it, and plenty of people make their own. Mine are the best.
The price reflects the cost of materials, gas for transporting everything, time it takes to make them, cost of renting shop space, tools and misc supplies, and paying my employees a fair wage. Not to mention making just enough profit to feed myself. Oh and everything is taxed.
If you’re mad about the prices, blame the federal reserve for printing so much money that the dollar isn’t worth shit anymore, not me for pricing accordingly to the market.
Same reason your $5 footlong cost $18 now.
As for the Asta sword, it’s called preventative pricing. The sword took 3 days to make, and I don’t want to do it again.
OP thank you for giving me the chance to make you another sword, I hope you enjoy training with it.

It's just made for swinging around not striking things. But usually the handles hold up really well. I've had my original one for almost 5 years and I've beat the hell out of it, turned it into a skateboard, dropped it, etc, and I don't think that handle will ever break. But every piece of wood is unique, so sometimes breaks happen.

However if you are going to fix it you'd have to use a metal plate on both sides of the handle drilled and bolted into place, but again there's no reason to eat the cost. But looking at the design I have to say it's likely to break right there anyway. I don't know why they made it flat. The force of a sudden stop or wind resistance is going to snap it regardless.

You won't be fucking the ultra hot ones with crazy getups because they have an ego the size of the moon but there are plenty of others who are less attractive and they know it.

this. you can also try runing a couple bolts through metal brackets on either side (one through the handle the other through the blade) on top of that to add extra support but it might make it really uncomfortable to use and there's no guarantee it won't just break again even more catastrophically.

I actually made a pair of Indian mace clubs from a piece of tree I found army a wildcat dump ( where people start just dumping trash, broken furnitur, any kind of old appliances TVs , matresses n boxframe, clothes etc.) on edge of town.
I actuallyhad a HF woodlathe gifted to me years ago but never used.
Well I used it and just mostly eyeballed it and came out with a great set of clubs. I just watched a few yowtube videos on how to use woodlathe and pow, now I can do basic shit.
I also made a very heavy club out of a very dense mesquite log I had that had cured in the sun for a few years.
Just used a handsaw, hatchet, woodchisels, big cabinet file, and sand paper.
Fileing and sandpaper took the longest. It was well worth it. Some places want to charge thousands for a pair not including shipping.
I am way beyond what I used to be in strength and agility and flexibility before I started club training four years ago

You are all just jealous and intimidated by OP's rugged manliness.

1. Start a hipster pandering business.
2. Profit obscenely.

Don't listen to this fag. If wielding a sword like guts does inspires you and moves you to your dreams, do it.

I'm praying that you take this loss as a lesson to put more thoughy into what you are purchasing, the skill you are learning, and what healthy performance from said skill's required tools looks like.

Research properly what you are paying for and wielding, and do your due diligence in regards to what a reasonable price actually is for whatever product you are interested in. Compare prices. Look at reviews. Search for reviews in different places. If the product is on Etsy, look for the seller's reviews on other places too. If the product is on Amazon, look for reviews on reddit and YouTube.

I hope my comment is helpful and I hope you ignore the fags putting you down for making a mistake. It's okay to make mistakes and I too want to wiels a sword like this. I hope you refuse to give up and heed the words I shared above.

Here king, you dropped your crown:
