This genius hour I couldn't bring in my big sword that I made last genius hour so I brought in a smaller sword that I never got to finish (galaxia sword from the Kirby games). I already knew the paper mache but I wondered what was the best strategy to put it on the sword. Overall it was quite enjoyable and I think I made the most of my time.

Tody's genius hour I started carving a large chunk of foam into a sword.
I learnt that expanding foam is not as strong as normal foam and it is quite labour intensive, but it is still quite fun to carve! I carved the foam with an exacto knife and didn't get hurt despite hoe clumsy I am I wanted to finish the carving in one session but that obviously didn't happen. I know that I need to paper mache it for the next stage s it will be stonger and hard. I still wonder how I will be able to create the dome in the middle of the sword. Next genius hour I will apply the paper mache |
