Number #1 grandson brought home the sword he made at school and number #3 grandson wanted it so grandad had to make to make him one. Obviously number #1 grandson then decided the new one was better than his and wanted it so the play fights became a little more heated. I have now made a second sword so they can have a matched pair. Somehow the irony of making a weapon each so they can fight to stop them fighting over their weapons is probably too true to life.

Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.
