This is my boffer longsword. I designed it to be used in HEMA with kids. I based the design on standard feder from Rergenyei
Being a foam blade with a glassfiber core we can minimize the need for protection.
To prevent the glasfiber tip from working its way through the foam i use a 5cm long piece of armored tube that is threaded 2.5 cm over the end of the two glasfiber rods. The extra 2.5cm protruding makes a good spring and makes the foam bend round the glasfiber ends.
From the end of the tube there needs to be a minimum of 2.5 cm of foam to be safe to use.
You will also need two short pieces of diameter 8mm glassfiber rod to use as a cross guard.
!!!! This design is NOT made for thrusting !!!!
To make one you will need additionally some meters of glasfiber rod with 8mm diameter, high impact foam and something to put as a skin on the foam (paint on liquid latex or duct tape or cloth).
