Cardboard boxes mate. Surely you can find those anywhere?
omg... I can only find 1mm cardboard at dollar tree, if I don't want it to be deformed... reduced size- 30 cardboard pieces, origin. size- 70 cardboard pieces...
They actually let you do that? I only know that Costco let you do that... alright will do
does it have to be straight or can it be all cracked and stuff?
It honestly depends on the person you get at the time. Some employees might not have the time or the inclination to help you out, but others would be absolutely happy to let you take some cardboard from them. If all else, just see if you can't talk to some of the people who are responsible for procurement and processing of deliveries, they'll point you in the right direction.
True story: I work at a local hospital, and (should the fancy take me) I'm more than welcome to go home with as much cardboard as I can possibly, physically carry. It's all about knowing the right people to ask - so, pop on over with your parents, load up the car, and enjoy cost-free cosplaying resources.
What if I use cardboard and fiberglass between layers?If you alternate the direction the corrugations run in each layer and use pva wood glue, your weapon will be super strong, very rigid and less likely to warp over time.
