Boon Bounty: Boffer Construction Guide

Submitted by Thad (He/Him) on Thu, 6/2/2011 at 10:44am

The game is in need of a new boffer construction guide. The guide will need to include detailed instructions on how to create basic boffer weapons of different sizes (short swords, long swords, staves, and spears/polearms with stabbing tips, at a minimum), as well as packets and shields. Pictures of each step in the process are required; video would be even better. The guide should include detailed guidance on preferred materials (and where to find them), common construction pitfalls, and what safety marshals are looking for during an inspection.
 
Thorough boffer weapon construction expertise is required before accepting this bounty. Multiple players may collaborate and divide the bounty, if desired. Boon will be awarded to coincide with the quality of the finished work (at least 10 to 15 is expected for the amount of work involved). If you would like to take this bounty, please say so in the comments below.
