project you’re going to need some maker

project you’re going to need some maker pipe this is a really cool fitting made

pipe this is a really cool fitting made

pipe this is a really cool fitting made specifically for 3/4 inch metal conduit

specifically for 3/4 inch metal conduit

specifically for 3/4 inch metal conduit tubing which is a really an expensive

tubing which is a really an expensive

tubing which is a really an expensive building material that can be found in

building material that can be found in

building material that can be found in almost any hardware store you can buy 10

almost any hardware store you can buy 10

almost any hardware store you can buy 10 feet for less than $4 maker pipe is what

feet for less than $4 maker pipe is what

feet for less than $4 maker pipe is what allows you to connect the handle to the

allows you to connect the handle to the

allows you to connect the handle to the tonfa and a tea joint so this is really

tonfa and a tea joint so this is really

tonfa and a tea joint so this is really important if you want to have a

important if you want to have a

important if you want to have a streamline barrel for the blowgun the

streamline barrel for the blowgun the

streamline barrel for the blowgun the 3/4 inch conduit tubing needs to be cut

3/4 inch conduit tubing needs to be cut

3/4 inch conduit tubing needs to be cut into 28 and 3 inch sections

into 28 and 3 inch sections

into 28 and 3 inch sections I’d recommend buying a pipe cutting tool

I’d recommend buying a pipe cutting tool

I’d recommend buying a pipe cutting tool seen here you will also need 3/4 inch

seen here you will also need 3/4 inch

seen here you will also need 3/4 inch PVC pipe which can be bought pre-cut in

PVC pipe which can be bought pre-cut in

PVC pipe which can be bought pre-cut in two foot sections for the handle you’ll

two foot sections for the handle you’ll

two foot sections for the handle you’ll need to cut a two-inch section a heat

need to cut a two-inch section a heat

need to cut a two-inch section a heat gun is also necessary and I’ve also

gun is also necessary and I’ve also

gun is also necessary and I’ve also created a really jerry-rigged heating

created a really jerry-rigged heating

created a really jerry-rigged heating trough and I’ll show you that shortly

trough and I’ll show you that shortly

trough and I’ll show you that shortly sandpaper and a rotary sanding wheel

sandpaper and a rotary sanding wheel

sandpaper and a rotary sanding wheel will also make your life much easier and

will also make your life much easier and

will also make your life much easier and don’t forget these heat resistant gloves

don’t forget these heat resistant gloves

don’t forget these heat resistant gloves these are a life saver ok so right now

these are a life saver ok so right now

these are a life saver ok so right now I’m going to be heating up the PVC pipe

I’m going to be heating up the PVC pipe

I’m going to be heating up the PVC pipe inside of what’s called a heating trough

inside of what’s called a heating trough

inside of what’s called a heating trough which is just some scrap metal and some

which is just some scrap metal and some

which is just some scrap metal and some C clamps that I made a little sort of

C clamps that I made a little sort of

C clamps that I made a little sort of device that you can reflect the heat

device that you can reflect the heat

device that you can reflect the heat back at the surface you’re trying to

back at the surface you’re trying to

back at the surface you’re trying to heat up so it’s basically recycling the

heat up so it’s basically recycling the

heat up so it’s basically recycling the heat and it takes way less time to make

heat and it takes way less time to make

heat and it takes way less time to make your PVC pipe nice and soft and then

your PVC pipe nice and soft and then

your PVC pipe nice and soft and then we’re going to jam it onto this pipe for

we’re going to jam it onto this pipe for

we’re going to jam it onto this pipe for the handle and the striking surface now

the handle and the striking surface now

the handle and the striking surface now one thing that I would recommend is

one thing that I would recommend is

one thing that I would recommend is trimming down the edge so that it’s a

trimming down the edge so that it’s a

trimming down the edge so that it’s a little bit easier to insert into the PVC

little bit easier to insert into the PVC

little bit easier to insert into the PVC so I’m just going to do that by using

so I’m just going to do that by using

so I’m just going to do that by using this disc sander

this disc sander

this disc sander going to bring it in at this angle and

going to bring it in at this angle and

going to bring it in at this angle and just twist to see if we can get that

just twist to see if we can get that

just twist to see if we can get that nice little tapered edge not bad

all right so sorta and go in get in

all right so sorta and go in get in there really get in there

see how hot this is getting it actually

see how hot this is getting it actually burned the PVC let’s go okay so this is

burned the PVC let’s go okay so this is

burned the PVC let’s go okay so this is still very hot so I can’t really grip it

still very hot so I can’t really grip it

still very hot so I can’t really grip it but I had to kind of smash the one end

but I had to kind of smash the one end

but I had to kind of smash the one end in in order to force it down and I used

in in order to force it down and I used

in in order to force it down and I used those gloves those if you want to try

those gloves those if you want to try

those gloves those if you want to try this are 100% necessary because you

this are 100% necessary because you

this are 100% necessary because you can’t feel the heat and you have a grip

can’t feel the heat and you have a grip

can’t feel the heat and you have a grip on this will like plastic give the grip

on this will like plastic give the grip

on this will like plastic give the grip and I would not have been able to do

and I would not have been able to do

and I would not have been able to do that so I went ahead and did this one

that so I went ahead and did this one

that so I went ahead and did this one because very simple you only putting it

because very simple you only putting it

because very simple you only putting it in a couple inches and then at the end

in a couple inches and then at the end

in a couple inches and then at the end just going to cut this off using one of

just going to cut this off using one of

just going to cut this off using one of these tools and hopefully I won’t have

these tools and hopefully I won’t have

these tools and hopefully I won’t have to jam it because that that’s going to

to jam it because that that’s going to

to jam it because that that’s going to make it

make it

make it flare out so I’m probably what I’m going

flare out so I’m probably what I’m going

flare out so I’m probably what I’m going to do is wait to trim this off and that

to do is wait to trim this off and that

to do is wait to trim this off and that way if it’s gets damaged I don’t really

way if it’s gets damaged I don’t really

way if it’s gets damaged I don’t really care because most likely it’s not going

care because most likely it’s not going

care because most likely it’s not going to already break down to past where the

to already break down to past where the

to already break down to past where the conduit tubing is so yeah we should be

conduit tubing is so yeah we should be

conduit tubing is so yeah we should be good and I think this is going to turn

good and I think this is going to turn

good and I think this is going to turn out nice

so here is what I have so far and you

so here is what I have so far and you can see that I left a little bit at the

can see that I left a little bit at the

can see that I left a little bit at the end here not exactly sure what I’m going

end here not exactly sure what I’m going

end here not exactly sure what I’m going to do with that yet but I’m thinking I’m

to do with that yet but I’m thinking I’m

to do with that yet but I’m thinking I’m going to flare it out and make like a

going to flare it out and make like a

going to flare it out and make like a mouthpiece so first I’m just going to

mouthpiece so first I’m just going to

mouthpiece so first I’m just going to use a dremel tool to cut this off and it

use a dremel tool to cut this off and it

use a dremel tool to cut this off and it doesn’t really have to be clean because

doesn’t really have to be clean because

doesn’t really have to be clean because I’m gonna be grinding away a lot of it

I’m gonna be grinding away a lot of it

I’m gonna be grinding away a lot of it and I’m gonna be using these little

and I’m gonna be using these little

and I’m gonna be using these little guides here five one four ninety and

guides here five one four ninety and

guides here five one four ninety and then this is a little bit more than

then this is a little bit more than

then this is a little bit more than thirty I’d say about thirty four degrees

thirty I’d say about thirty four degrees

thirty I’d say about thirty four degrees so a little tapered angle on the front

so a little tapered angle on the front

so a little tapered angle on the front there so we’ll see what we get

the pipe is flushed with the PVC and

the pipe is flushed with the PVC and when we clean it up it’s going to look

when we clean it up it’s going to look

when we clean it up it’s going to look pretty nice

so while the other one is cooling off

so while the other one is cooling off you can see it’s nice and flush I have a

you can see it’s nice and flush I have a

you can see it’s nice and flush I have a feeling that this is going to definitely

feeling that this is going to definitely

feeling that this is going to definitely hold up I mean this is very strong PVC

hold up I mean this is very strong PVC

hold up I mean this is very strong PVC pipe is very strong I don’t know so I

pipe is very strong I don’t know so I

pipe is very strong I don’t know so I think I’m going to add some of that

think I’m going to add some of that

think I’m going to add some of that carbon fiber vinyl and that will give it

carbon fiber vinyl and that will give it

carbon fiber vinyl and that will give it a really nice finished look so I left

a really nice finished look so I left

a really nice finished look so I left this little piece of plastic here so

this little piece of plastic here so

this little piece of plastic here so that I can make that into a mouthpiece

that I can make that into a mouthpiece

that I can make that into a mouthpiece so you need something Kona cool that you

so you need something Kona cool that you

so you need something Kona cool that you can heat up like metal and I found this

can heat up like metal and I found this

can heat up like metal and I found this piece from a curtain rod and I’m just

piece from a curtain rod and I’m just

piece from a curtain rod and I’m just going to see if this works so first

going to see if this works so first

going to see if this works so first we’re going to start by heating up the

we’re going to start by heating up the

we’re going to start by heating up the PVC make sure you don’t burn it you just

PVC make sure you don’t burn it you just

PVC make sure you don’t burn it you just want to get it so it’s pliable

then I think that works really well what

then I think that works really well what do you think of that so here are the

do you think of that so here are the

do you think of that so here are the blow darts and they’re really simple to

blow darts and they’re really simple to

blow darts and they’re really simple to make you’re going to need a metal wire

make you’re going to need a metal wire

make you’re going to need a metal wire tray you can buy two of these for a

tray you can buy two of these for a

these wire cutters as well as some super

these wire cutters as well as some super glue and scotch tape so to create this

glue and scotch tape so to create this

glue and scotch tape so to create this we’re going to start off with our metal

we’re going to start off with our metal

we’re going to start off with our metal wire trays and I’ve put little marks

wire trays and I’ve put little marks

wire trays and I’ve put little marks here and here to show you where you’re

here and here to show you where you’re

here and here to show you where you’re going to cut not take

you sort of bend it like that

you sort of bend it like that take a post-it note and use it as a

take a post-it note and use it as a

take a post-it note and use it as a stencil and then you’re going to fold

stencil and then you’re going to fold

stencil and then you’re going to fold this into a cone shape and don’t be

this into a cone shape and don’t be

this into a cone shape and don’t be afraid to use too much tape it something

afraid to use too much tape it something

afraid to use too much tape it something like this now I’m going to sharpen these

like this now I’m going to sharpen these

like this now I’m going to sharpen these darts I like to wear one of these face

darts I like to wear one of these face

darts I like to wear one of these face shields using the conduit tubing as a

shields using the conduit tubing as a

shields using the conduit tubing as a guide take the cone and stick it then

guide take the cone and stick it then

guide take the cone and stick it then you want to mark a line and that’s where

you want to mark a line and that’s where

you want to mark a line and that’s where you’re going to cut the cone and test it

last thing that you want to do is take

last thing that you want to do is take some superglue and press this through

and then since it’s so tight there it’s

and then since it’s so tight there it’s going to gather right there at the at

going to gather right there at the at

going to gather right there at the at the end there and if you want to add

the end there and if you want to add
