Javelins..Spears and sarrissas made of broom-hair

[Phalanx]

Hi friends...
I need many sarissas and javelins for my macedonian army.
think 150 pieces. Here`s a cheap and good way to build them.
hope it`s a help for you.




1. The brooms.


2. Cut them as long as you need.


3. Then make them flat


4. and cut it as a spear-head



Hope I could help you find a cheap way.

Cheers

A very good tip and great pictures! But maybe not a good excuse for avoid using the broom.

And for every aspect of life there is always a song:

Hey Phalanx, are you married, or did you use the broom of your mother? Anyhow when they see what you have done with the broom, I announce you big trouble!

Thanks for showing

Greetings Peter

It´s a case of " the new broom that doesn´t sweep clean "
Bashing the end of the bristle with a small hammer gets it flat as well, and if you´re going to do 150, it´s faster than pliers.

yes, a hammer is an good idea.
thanks paulie.
cheers
