for this project I’m going to show you how to make exploding tip blow darts
how to make exploding tip blow darts
how to make exploding tip blow darts throw them in a hard surface and these

let’s start this project with a pack of
let’s start this project with a pack of ring caps some paper snow cone cups and
ring caps some paper snow cone cups and
ring caps some paper snow cone cups and number six machine screws the screws I
number six machine screws the screws I
number six machine screws the screws I found are 2 inches long and come in a
found are 2 inches long and come in a
found are 2 inches long and come in a pack of 5 for about a dollar and if you
pack of 5 for about a dollar and if you
pack of 5 for about a dollar and if you got the same pack I did you’ll find 5
got the same pack I did you’ll find 5
got the same pack I did you’ll find 5 hex nuts in there as well which should
hex nuts in there as well which should
hex nuts in there as well which should come in handy in just a minute ok let’s
come in handy in just a minute ok let’s
come in handy in just a minute ok let’s set a snow cone on the table pointy side
set a snow cone on the table pointy side
set a snow cone on the table pointy side facing up then tear off a small strip of
facing up then tear off a small strip of
facing up then tear off a small strip of duct tape stick the tape on the cone so
duct tape stick the tape on the cone so
duct tape stick the tape on the cone so the edge is a little higher than the tip
the edge is a little higher than the tip
the edge is a little higher than the tip then wrap the ends around one at a time
then wrap the ends around one at a time
then wrap the ends around one at a time I’m using duct tape because it will help
I’m using duct tape because it will help
I’m using duct tape because it will help reinforce the paper and make it a little
reinforce the paper and make it a little
reinforce the paper and make it a little more weather resistant now if you don’t
more weather resistant now if you don’t
more weather resistant now if you don’t have paper snow cones handy it’s no
have paper snow cones handy it’s no
have paper snow cones handy it’s no problem

problem you can always make your own cones out
you can always make your own cones out
you can always make your own cones out of paper or sticky notes like we did in
of paper or sticky notes like we did in
of paper or sticky notes like we did in the laser blowgun project okay let’s
the laser blowgun project okay let’s
the laser blowgun project okay let’s push the tip of the cone into a piece of
push the tip of the cone into a piece of
push the tip of the cone into a piece of half-inch PVC tubing and you’ll see the
half-inch PVC tubing and you’ll see the
half-inch PVC tubing and you’ll see the edges mark a little indent at the top of
edges mark a little indent at the top of
edges mark a little indent at the top of the cone the same size as the tube so if
the cone the same size as the tube so if
the cone the same size as the tube so if you flatten the cone and cut along the
you flatten the cone and cut along the
you flatten the cone and cut along the inside markings of the tip you’ll end up
inside markings of the tip you’ll end up
inside markings of the tip you’ll end up with a little stabilizer cone the
with a little stabilizer cone the
with a little stabilizer cone the perfect size for your darts while we’re
perfect size for your darts while we’re
perfect size for your darts while we’re here let’s cut a small piece off the
here let’s cut a small piece off the
here let’s cut a small piece off the very tip as well because we’ll need this
very tip as well because we’ll need this
very tip as well because we’ll need this small hole for the screw to fit through
small hole for the screw to fit through
small hole for the screw to fit through in just a second I made four more
in just a second I made four more
in just a second I made four more stabilizer cones in just a couple of
stabilizer cones in just a couple of
stabilizer cones in just a couple of minutes and now that we have improvised
minutes and now that we have improvised
minutes and now that we have improvised fletchings for each of the five screws
fletchings for each of the five screws
fletchings for each of the five screws let’s get busy putting these cap darts
let’s get busy putting these cap darts
let’s get busy putting these cap darts together to set the dart cones in place
together to set the dart cones in place
together to set the dart cones in place simply pull a screw through the hole to
simply pull a screw through the hole to
simply pull a screw through the hole to tip until the head catches on the inside
tip until the head catches on the inside
tip until the head catches on the inside of the cone and to prep it for gluing
of the cone and to prep it for gluing
of the cone and to prep it for gluing try threading a nut onto the very tip of
try threading a nut onto the very tip of
try threading a nut onto the very tip of the screw you’ll see this way the darts

which is really cool because now we can
which is really cool because now we can easily squirt a dab of hot glue in the
easily squirt a dab of hot glue in the
easily squirt a dab of hot glue in the top and seal the two together you’ll
top and seal the two together you’ll
top and seal the two together you’ll only need to fill the cones about
only need to fill the cones about
only need to fill the cones about halfway with hot glue and give them a
halfway with hot glue and give them a
halfway with hot glue and give them a couple minutes to cool and set
couple minutes to cool and set
couple minutes to cool and set now to finish the darts off we need to
now to finish the darts off we need to
now to finish the darts off we need to add a little weight to the tip so
add a little weight to the tip so
add a little weight to the tip so they’ll fly straight and you can see
they’ll fly straight and you can see
they’ll fly straight and you can see that shifting the center of gravity is
that shifting the center of gravity is
that shifting the center of gravity is as easy as threading a second nut into
as easy as threading a second nut into
as easy as threading a second nut into position at the top the nut should sit
position at the top the nut should sit
position at the top the nut should sit about a quarter inch back from the tip
about a quarter inch back from the tip
about a quarter inch back from the tip and if you want to make sure they don’t
and if you want to make sure they don’t
