Hi I have a question Can you give a link of the templates of the katana with the numbers on them if you know what I mean I would really appreciate it

[@blazethanos5145]

And because I have a feeling I can't find it in the description

That Katana that you made is absolutely beautiful and SuperFantastic! It looks so real especially the blade. The new vinyl materials look great on the Katana. The cold opening to your video is really nice.

[@EpicCardboardProps]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@Engineersoldiers_Spiritof76_21]

Oh yes, the opening sequence was so epical especially when you are inspecting the Katana; the music so inspiring and bigger than life.

[@heathercampbell6059]

I need to make a different sword, but this should be very helpful. Thank you. Although I think I might use rub n' buff instead of the silver vinyl because I think that shows too many flaws. You did such a great job with the underlying sword that I think the vinyl kind of cheapens at a little bit. I'm OK with giving up a little bit of shiny, though.

[@EpicCardboardProps]

Glad it was helpful Heather! 🙂

I think it will be cool to do vinyl and stuff but if you do you should probably explain how to use the normal cardboard paper just in case its someones first build, and they haven't watched any of your other videos.

[@EpicCardboardProps]

You may be very right about that, I'll take it in consideration! 😉

[@EpicCardboardProps]

[@rhysphilp6373]

That's awesome, I like you using other materials in builds it makes it look more awesome 👏

[@blademastercrafts4187]

This is great! I've made 4 katanas, and a wall mounted stand for them, all out of cardboard! And Raphael, the placement of a katana on a stand is important. It should be placed on the stand with the handle to the left, and the blade facing up. I've forgotten the reason for these though, but katanas are sacred weapons, not just to samurai, but to crafters making their own too!

[@EpicCardboardProps]

Oh I didn't know that! Thanks for the information

[@the1831]

The reason is because after wrong placement catana's blade scratches the cap of it and it becomes dull, so u have to shapener it again, again again again, and it will get broken much faster.

[@the1831]

And the meaning of putting handle on different sides i think its because of the owner who usually uses right or left hand to hold handle while unleashing the sword

[@the1831]

The my first comment is fact, second is my geposise

[@MrChainsawFX]

Yes yes, I've been watching your work for a while and I am on board. In fact I was just thinking about your videos the other day and the fact that I haven't seen any in the while. Nothing on you I mean it could just be KZbin's algorithm and we all have lives as well I can't watch everything all the time . And most especially I'm aware it takes a good month to create such props for our entertainment. But for sure you don't have to limit yourself if you want to make a cardboard inner structure and coat everything with Bondo or Fiber Glass or Resin you can. And certainly use whatever material works best to create the end result. It's called Secret wizard sorcery. Conjuring life into something out of basically nothing. And if you have to actually buy some supplies to make something shiny you can do that too...

[@EpicCardboardProps]

Thank you Chainsaw Panek! I do appreciate it!

[@luisorozco1289]

Well the vinyl adhesive I used in this video looks really great in my opinion, if you compare my Jon Snow sword that I covered with aluminium tape and this one that is covered with vinyl, the one with the vinyl is much closer to the real deal! ;)

@@EpicCardboardProps thanks!

[@bradenwilcox6504]

Just a suggestion: the modeling paste you use is a little expensive, there’s a product called spackle, it’s used for filling holes in drywall. It does the same thing and in my opinion, much easier to use. Just a suggestion, love the vid

[@EpicCardboardProps]

Spackle is great indeed, but modeling paste remains a bit flexible once dried which is helpful with such build. But you're right sparkle would be a great solution in most cases :)

Hey Raphael, how sturdy/floppy is the finished blade? I'm making a sword for my demon slayer cosplay and I don't want it bending in half at the con 🤣

[@EpicCardboardProps]

well if you put the wood stick into it as I show in the video, it is surprisingly very sturdy. I can easily do fighting moves and such very fast and it won't break or bend. For a very good sturdiness though try to put that wood stick into the blade and push its extremity into the handle as well, that's gonna reinforce the connection between the 2 parts a lot ;)
