I wouldn't use wood glue. Wood glue and duct tape or something around the outside helping support it.

Thanks for all the tips!
For the pole, do they make wooden dowels long enough? I've only seen the short (2-3") kind, not ones 6" tall like I need.
And yes, I'd like the shell part of the hammer removeable from the pole for easier trandport and storage. Any ideas on how to make it so I can take it off when I need but so it will stay on when it is on?

I'm thinking maybe PVC pipe (lightweight, sturdy), but I'm afraid it might bend, even though it won't be too long (under 6') and the hammer portion isn't all -that- heavy (though still unfinished). I'm afraid that a wooden pole might be too heavy for me to carry around half the day. Any advice?
QuoteOnce I get a pole, I want to attach it in a way that it can be removed easily for transport. I was thinking that I could just make a chamber the same size as the end of the pole on the underside of my hammer, but I'm scared of it slipping off too easily. Any advice for that? Could I maybe pad out my pole on the top in order to give it a tighter fit but still make it removeable?
QuoteAs for the clay, I want something that is air drying but very lightweight. I already have the three main ridges on the shell (built up out of my craft foam), so I just need to define them slightly and build up the spikes. I don't have a lot of clay experience, so I'd like some advice on that, as well.
Quote...and speaking of clay (haha, I have too many questions!), I just thought of another problem. I was going to make the spiraly bit coming off of the bottom of the shell base and wrapping around the pole out of clay, as well. How would I attach that, and would it be sturdier to attach that to the pole itself or to the bottom of the shell? If I attatched it to the shell, it would help hold on the pole, I would think, but would be more delicate once I removed the hammer from the pole. If i attached it to the pole, I'm afraid of it falling off.
QuoteOh God, and I have to figure out how to make those spikes on my armwarmers without poking myself in the eye with them. ;o;

I spent a good amount of time watching the stream today...it actually was pretty entertaining at some parts.
The only bad part was when the /b/-tards came out to play and insulted/made pedo comments about everything. If they came to Fanime and asked me to show off my cosplay, I'd probably run in the other direction rather than see the trolls bash it.
Other than that, it really was pretty good. I do wish we could have them come to Fanime, because I think this definitely made people more interested in attending Sakura-con. I think it'd have the same effect for us.

Not to rain on your parade, but, this does not constitute Serious Business very much...
