The force is strong in Odin. I would really love doing this Lightsaber build as a kid, since I used to build things with my toys. I might give this a build a go.

[@EduardoSpaki]

Ow, nice to have u back... keep going!

[@tamalghosh7974]

It has been so long nice to see you Odin i miss your videos now you are back glad to see you.

[@sentinelmoonfang]

From someone who did a lot of contact LARPing when they were younger, spiral wrapping with tape tends to harden up the foam even if you try not to crush the foam. Vertical strips tend to keep it softer.

[@Dlutheran]

Was thinking this would work better

[@Horror_Hero]

You're back!!!!! Ok so many things you gotta make.

[@aaronwarrior]

Welcome back Odin, you have been greatly missed ❤️❤️❤️

[@lyonstyle]

Welcome Back! its been so long since the last upload, happy to see you're doing well Odin!

[@shaemus013]

F@%k yeah - welcome back, Legend!!

[@kaloethina]

So good to have you back, Odin, and thank you for the SCA shoutout! There's more than just fighting in the SCA - there's period crafts, opportunities for service, and a chance to hang out with people much like you.

[@steveparkes]

Lovely, glad to see the classic get stuck in and make something videos are coming back :) it's strange to me how these weapons are still used in the US Larp scene. They were banned in all the events I went to in the UK in the early 90's.

[@DJWildBillSC]

So glad you kinda talked about the Larp community I was part of the ECS ( Empire of Chivalry and Steel) we used live Steel weapons but I did join the SCA for a bit.

[@weaselwolf]

Worth noting, authentic SCA style would be a solid rattan stick wrapped in tape with no padding LOL SCA required full armor though. That said, this is how we made boffers for kids to play with.

[@kamilozaur0]

Yes Yes Yes I don't remember when I watched your videos but I love everything you put out

[@adrianbrooks686]

Hey Odin Great to see you back doing videos. As much as I love the Ghostbusters live streams, it's great to see you back making different stuff. Many thanks from Ady

[@Apophis324]

An edited Odin Makes video on a Saturday?! Has the world gone mad?! Was fun to watch though ^^
