Flanged Mace

Introduction

This is a rudimentary guide to constructing a flanged mace, and it is assumed that the builder has had experience with building at the very least a blue class sword and so understands the basics of weapon building. The flanged mace is an easy weapon to build and should prove to be a sturdy and reliable choice in combat. The included design is inspired by those once found on Brother Nolan's Book of Maces (a webpage that is now defunct). It can be applied to red weapons, as well. If you have alternative designs for the flanged mace, please add them.

Materials Needed (For a blue class weapon)

• 3/8" fiberglass rod for up to 27" overall core (beyond 27" risks failing to flex)
• For over 27", use 1/2" fiberglass or 1/2" PVC core
• DAP Contact Cement
• Blue camp pad
• Duct Tape
• Black cloth tape
• Carpet tape
• 1/8-3/8" rope
• Cover fabric, preferably trigger
