Cut your wooden broomstick or dowel to thirty inches in length. The diameter of it doesn't matter too much. Mine is one inch thick.

Print up the template and cut out the pieces. There are four pieces labeled A, B, C and D.

Also cut out the patterns in the middle.

Tape pieces A and B of the template together and place that on cardboard. Not foamboard. Cardboard is preferable for this because it is thinner.

Trace around it and trace those hole patterns in the middle of it too. Cut that all out of cardboard.
Make two of these. One for each end of the polearm.

Now tape together template parts C and D. Also cut out the big slot in the middle of it. And trace this onto foamboard. Make four of these.

Okay! You end up with six parts like this. Four foamboard parts and two cardboard parts.

Let's put this polearm together!
