More history

Make the template
Make Templates from "Kousakuyousi"(one of hard paper in Japan).
When you want to know how to make Templates of weapons, browse this page.



Building the axe


Cut material into the Templates form.
Cut out "Kousakuyousi"(one of hard paper in Japan).


"Kousakuyousi"(one of hard paper in Japan) is sold in only Japan.
It's harder than Drawing paper. The thickness is about 0.5mm.
I'm sure you can't get it.
Then, substitute various thin plastic sheets.


Mark holes on the Templates.


I finished marking.


Cut material into the Templates form.
Cut out 5mm thick EVA foam.





EVA foam is soft material.
You can process it easily.
Other names are EVA board, EVA zote, Craft foam etc.
Cosplayers all over the world use this.
It's sold in Amazon or AliExpress etc.

Introduction video




Use a sharp blade. For example, "Pro Blade".
This is so sharp.
←10枚入り ←50枚入りお得パック

I always use "Running fire box cutter","Blade breaker",Cutting mat.
"Blade breaker" can break the blade easily.


Use Standard art knife or Cushion grip art knife to cut small ornaments etc, too.

Glue with a Liquid super glue.
