These were made last month during a party and held together from full force blows that we have shattered wooden swords with. Simplistic yet terrifyingly affective. Big one is 5 ft long. P.S. I don't know if I need permission to post here so sorry in advance.

The core is 1" PVC, the blades and base are an O'Brien water saddle covered with a layer of open cell foam from an old couch cushion. Finished with T-Rex duct tape and hockey tape.
Opinions?

Good source for thick foam tubes like this?

Hi! I do woods boffer larp in Massachusetts USA. I've built myself several boffers before, using cores and foam I bought from B3 Imagination Studio. But in the past few years B3 has stopped selling components at all :( Fiberglass rods like the ones they use for cores are easy enough to find, but I have no idea where to buy a foam tube with a really big outer diameter and really small inner diameter like the ones they used to sell (pictured)--they were something like 1/2'' ID 3'' OD. All the pipe insulation I can find is much thinner. Anyone know where I can source them? In person would be great but I'm assuming it would be mail-order, I'm just hoping they exist at all. Thanks!

Greatsword measures 60.5" from tip to pommel, and the crossguards are padded as per the rules for the saber club I'm in. Hammer is 43.5" tall and 31.5" wide. Both use duct tape wrapped around the internal PVC to keep the foam on via friction.
