1. Gather Materials:
- PVC pipe (the smallest tubes you can find)
- PVC Connectors (Click to enlarge and see the text)
- A hacksaw or other sharp, dangerous object to cut the PVC
-Something to measure with
- A clamp to hold the PVC pipe while cutting it
- Pencil tops (the metal parts and the erasers)
- Pins
- Yarn or other string
- Safety!
2. Prepare the PVC pipe.
I had about a 27" piece of PVC, so I cut it into three 9" sections. Use a clamp.
3. Assemble!
Put all of the stuff together!
4. Make darts for it.
Here's a dart making tutorial online pretty much similar to mine.
Put the yarn on the pin and push it through the eraser.
You might want pliers to pull the pin through.
5. Have fun shooting your darts at a dartboard!
Also, I'm not liable if you injure yourself, your brother, or even worse, your dog while playing with this. PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!
Here's a movie of me demoing my PVC pipe gun.
