Lash the different parts together by winding strong twine around and glueing? Another weapon was the mace but that would be tricky to make... Battleaxe... pike... longbow... crossbow... Good luck! ------------------

patzayz Member	posted 05-12-2006 11:56 PM hmm... i heard that it was a farming tool and a weapon? or is it just a farming tool, and weapons in other places?
Maria Moderator	posted 05-14-2006 11:39 AM It was a farming tool. But it was a sharp farming tool, therefore it was used as a weapon in, say, peasant revolts, or even wars, when there weren't enough soldiers or real weapons.
