Every Thursday, Shelbi Roach of The Bronze Kettle guides you in creating WoW-inspired crafts using real world mats with World of WarCrafts.Ever wanted to wield an epic weapon from the game in real life or at least put one up on display to promote your geekdom? With a few simple supplies from your neighborhood hobby merchant and a bit of elbow grease you could be the proud new owner of your very own Cataclysm's Edge... replica. Or you could just spend close to 4 Benjamins and order this fine piece of weaponry.
Here is what you will need:
- Balsa Wood x2
- Wood Shapes (squares)
- Spray Paint (black, red, silver, orange/yellow)
- Acrylic Paint (black, brown, silver)
- Paintbrush
- Xacto Knife (with new blades)
- Ruler
- Wood Glue

This is the most awesome thing that has ever existed in the entire run of human existence.
Well, okay, it's number 22. But considering how much stuff is on the list that's still pretty good. Make a Sulfuras!

The Bulwark is pretty sweet, but I'm gunning for a Gizlock's. Hey, its the shield so nice they didn't bother to buff when they upgraded all the other dungeon loot. Plus, who can resist its hypnotic spinning?

Well, I may never see Mt. Hyjal (more due to my own time constraints and Fiancee aggro radius than anything else), but I may just get to equip Cataclysm's Edge. Nice!

I don't want to be Mr. Asshole, but when I wanted to make swords I went out and bought an anvil and forge.
Just sayin.
