SciFi/SteamPunk Binoculars Prop by xxgearzofgrindxx

Step 2: Cutting the PVC

The first step in actually making the binoculars is cutting out the body, using PVC pipe.
-I cut the 1 3/8 inch piece to be about 6 inches long.
-I cut the 2 inch piece to about 4 3/8 inches long.
-In order to make the handle/decoration I took the 2 inch piece of PVC and cut down to 2 inches in length. Next I cut that in half lengthwise. Use the picture for reference.
-I took the other half and cut a thin strip off. I then cut than into four equal pieces.
-File down the edges to remove any excess PVC, and to make the edges smoother.
