Our teacher in charge of our club decided to take the above route and find a local store that might sell us a length of blade. It turns out that we have all the equipment for joining the ends of a blade! Thanks everyone for all your suggestions, we will use them when choosing our blade specifications. Thanks Dick Linn for your link to the manual, it will be invaluable when starting this thing up.

Thanks again.
