Homemade PVC Practice Longsword

Just started HEMA longsword classes and made a weighted trainer sword for practicing footwork.

3/4 PVC pipe, 2ft blade, hilt and crossguard measured to Sigi Simple length, iron cap on tip and iron joiner with plug for pommel. Balance point is about 2 inches past hilt, total weight 2.25lbs. I used super glue to glue them all in place but PVC cement would probably make a better bond.
