This project began with a short youtube tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwkIOSUNpVM) on making a sword in tinkercad.  I followed a number of the steps involved in the process and learned how to create this object using a variety of different tools.

Once I printed the sword I spent some time removing the support since I did not want to break the thin blade.  I carefully pulled the support off without damaging the blade.  The bottom side of the blade was not as smooth as I thought it would be.  As I brushed my finger over the bottom side I punctured my thumb and drew a little blood.  If I teach this in a classroom, I will mention the danger of exposed plastic parts to students.
