"I might on my next one but for this one I want to keep it as is. I figure it's heavy enough and the extra weight would just throw off the balance and make it more tiring quicker."

"Remember it isn't the size of the hammer but the skill of the swing. Heh, heh..."

"Do you mean a kanabo? That would be bad*** as hell"

"as far as shaping the wood, it wouldnt be that hard, but most kanabos have iron studs going down the length of the club, if you can find someway to keep the studs in the wood, you might be able to make one.

"Thank you white76knight for giving me that rather creepy mental image, I'll send you the therapy bill. Sadly only welder I have atm is an arc welder, but I am in the process of building a small gas forge for knife making. Trust me all suggestions are welcome and will be taken into account in the final design."

"Back in the day, I had this length of pipe I kept as a weapon behind the seat of my truck. It had good heft to it as it was. One day my dad and I were working with concrete, and I packed it full with some of the left overs, ram-rodding it all the way down and getting out any air bubbles with a straighten-out piece of coat hanger. That added a NICE little bit of heft to the pipe, and didn't involve melting metals or any other potentially dangerous activities.
By no means dissing the lead idea, it's quite sound. Just tossing another option out there."

"really a Zweihander, i hope you know German caus that means a two handed sword, most are around 5/6 foot, think of Zigfried on Soul Caliber and your about right, now most 1/ hand and half (bastard) sword are desinged for thrusting, where as two handed swords are used for slashing, in medival times they would leave about 6 or 7 foot between each person useing them so they didnt hit any of there mates, and you realy think you can swing that in a 1 meter wide corridor, good luck,"
