Introduction: PVC Bo (Fighting Stafff)

About: Hey there. I'm a huge fan of video games, particularly sanbox titles like Grand Theft Auto IV. I also like games that are emotional in nature and can make me experience a wide array of emotions, games like He…

Well, seeing as there had been Instructables to make PVC weapons lately ( Tonfas, Nunchucks ) I decided to share my PVC Bo Staff. I Know that PVC isn't the best material for a Bo Staff, but if you don't have wood or metal, this is the next best thing. It is also quite durable ( If you fill it with cement or sand )
and easy to wield. So, let's get started!

Step 1: Materials

Ok, so for this Bo staff you're going to need these materials:

  • About 3-6 feet long ( The length of the staff is up to you ) of 1/2 inch PVC pipe
  • 2 PVC endcaps
  • Sand or cement ( Optional, but if you want to make your staff stronger, get this )
  • Hacksaw
  • PVC glue ( Also optional, but if you don't wanna have the staff falling apart again and again, get this )
  • Electrical, Grip, or Duct tape ( Grip tape works best, but I don't have any at the time, so I used Elctrical tape )

Although it looked like a long list, these parts are usually readily available in most homes.

Step 2: Cut the Pipe

Cut the 1/2 inch PVC pipe. A good length of a Bo Staff would be 4-6 feet long. You can also cut it shorter, and you'll have a Jo Staff ( Shorter version of Bo )

Step 3: Apply Endcap

Apply the PVC Endcap to one side of the pipe staff. If you have PVC glue, use it.

Step 4: Optional: Strengthen the Staff

Insert your sand or cement to the uncapped end of the staff. This step is optional, but I highly recommend it because it'll strengthen your staff ( It's better if you use cement, but I don't have any at the time, and sand is second best, since it works well too. )

Step 5: Apply Other Encap

After you filled the staff with the cement or sand ( or not ), apply endcap to the other side of the staff. If you have PVC glue, use it.

Step 6: Apply Tape

Apply grip, duct, or electrical tape on the handle of the staff. Like I said before, grip tape works best, but electrical or duct tape works well too.

Step 7: You Are Done!

Woooo! You are done! See, easy, right? Have fun ( yes ) and be safe ( NOT! ), LOL.
