Take your
piece of couch foam, and curl it up loosly, to make a tube as shown below.
Cut a strip
of the white furniture foam, and cut it as wide as the tube is long, this piece
is mostly to keep the end caps on, you will find the tape doesn't stick well to
the couch foam.
Trace two end
pieces onto white foam, cut them out and tape them onto the tube made around the
couch foam by the white foam, you won't have to seal it in, only to tape it in
four or five places.
Measure the
halfway point in the tube you've got of foam, shove your core through the foam
all the way leave about three inches on top to add a stabbing tip.
Secure a
strip of white foam as wide as the space you left above the tube, it will need
to be about 8 or 9 inches long.
Wind the
strip of white foam around the core tape the end down, tape at the base near the
tube that will be the head of the hammer. Trace the end of what will be the
stabbing tip on a piece of white foam, cut out about three layers, tape on top
of the end.
Trace the
end again onto couch foam, cut it out to secure you will have to tape all the
way over the end, from white foam to white foam.
Secure a
strip of white foam a couple feet wide by only about 5 inches long, below the
head of the hammer, tape down the end, tape at top and bottom, this will help
keep the head on, adn be courtesy padding.
Secure a
strip of white foam, much like at the top, on the bottom of the weapon for a
pummel.
Trace the
bottom end of the pummel onto white foam, use about 4 thicknesses, tape down
heavily for ballance, but be carefull not to over compress.
Last thing,
to ensure the head of the hammer doesn't wabble, or move, take strips of tape,
and criss cross them over the head of the hammer, near the core secure tape to
the stabbing tip and courtesy padding to support the head.
