Sword (Light Saber)

Intro: Sword (Light Saber)

This is a cheap way to make a sword, light saber whatever. Kids love it!

STEP 1: Supplies

1. 3' of 1/2 PVC pipe
2. 1 colored Pool noodle
3. 1' of 1/2 foam pipe insulator
4. Duct tape (not shown)
5. 10 minutes
6. Tape measure (optional)

STEP 2: Foam Pipe Insulator

First, you need to slide the foam pipe insulator up the PVC pipe about a 1' so that when you finish, it looks like pictures 2,3, or 4.

STEP 3: Noodle

Then, you need to slide the noodle down the PVC pipe so that it meets with the foam pipe insulator. See pictures below.

STEP 4: Duct Tape

Finally,0 you will need to tightly duct tape the foam pipe insulator like in picture 1. Do the same thing with the noodle like picture 2. The finished product will look like picture 3.

It looks a little like a cricket bat.

omg, i love that game. i finished it with lvl 99 ultima keyblade and the best armor for everyone, summon 7 and all forms 7 to. i am now trying to get my hands on kh1. aside from that, nice project im going to try and get the materials (twice, then i can battle with my brother)

[foxtrot4697]

you could make it a larp style weapon! then you still can hit ppl

[foxtrot4697]

i dont now why but hitting people with wood seems to bring pleasure to me and those watching

[geek27]

When you whack somebody with this, does it hurt?? I mean, like a FAST whack. Will it hurt?? Because I really want to make one of these, but if battling with my friends means pain, I'll pass.

[whitish]

nahh not really, i guess it depends on your pain threshold

[ThinkBeforeYouSpeak]

beating the hell out each other is fun, me and my friends love those metal rulers in shop, battle scars

[armorwaxer]

Unless you aim for the head you will be fine.

[Travelsonic]

That happened to me, with a latex katana nonetheless... I actually bled. ~_~ I'm sticking to foam boffers.

[geek27]

Thanks! Maybe I'll try it!

[The magical duct tape kid]

You are very welcome.

[starbucks starwars and lotrs oh my]

the foam swords are great for birthday presents

[gbosbiker]

add some LED lights to make it a real light saber

[The magical duct tape kid]

That would be cool!

[PKM]

Seconded- if the pipe has enough space, a mini torch (yeah ok flashlight if you insist) in the handle would make this a whole lot cooler.
