Like most of my weapons, kayak foam. There will be something stiffer on the face of the hammer to give it some "smack" when it hits. It is much lighter than it looks too. It will be tool dipped instead of duct taped. Hoping to have it done tonight...

I was not intending that to bash knights, and if it came out that way I really apologize.

My old one said "Don't Panic" across the top on the inside, and "Prey should know when it's prey" below that.

The new one says "when the game is over, the pawn and king go back in the same box" in runes.

I got it cut into plates, I had to round the corners and punch holes. I have a steel distributor just down the street from me. That was for a 4x8 sheet cut up... I paid $50 for that, $10 or so for cord, and $10 or so on drill bits. buckles and straps I had around.
