How to Make a PVC Sword for Halloween Costume Props, Cosplay and Display - DIY Tutorial 

Damn I haven't been on this channel in a while, but Nick is looking healthy af. good for him!

Didn’t know how much I missed your content until you started uploading again. Thanks Nick

Oh snap, Backyard Bowyer is back!

Really nice result! You think this could be done with foam core to make it lighter?

Hahaha it's great!!!! I'm sure you helped more than one with this video, excellent 😁👍

The pvc master

That’s a rad idea.

Smart Moves 👍

You're the best Nick. Been following you for years now and when you disappeared, it felt like the Avatar vanished. Now you're back and wiser than ever, and at a time when we really needed you. Thank you man.

Make a PVC katana, I made it last year for my nephew turned out pretty good until he broke it 😄

Yes

Metalwork for Christmas 🙏🙏🙏

Good timing. Not just for Halloween but I was just thinking of trying to make a martial arts practice sword based on your bow-making techniques. It's not much different but I hadn't given much thought to the handle. Also I don't know how impact resistant it may be, but the style I'd be practising is not fast-pace. Not like kendo or anything. Closer to tai chi. If you combine this video with the Ghost Bow material, you could make some kind of lazer blade type weapon. Sanding it could possibly diffuse the light and create a more even spread, but it probably wouldn't look as neat when the light is off and you may need a brighter light for the effect. You could slip in a piece of lighting gel in front of the LED to give it a different color, too. That's got my creative juices goin' :P Glad to see you're posting again, btw.

Hey Nick again thank you hope all is well.

Dude, yeah!!

A suit of PVC armor is next.

Cool.

Glad to see you again!!

Very cool!

Wow.good to see you again

Hello Nick! I have been watching your videos for a few years, now. I had a hard time making the PVC bows because it takes at least your size to apply the correct amount of pressure to control your jig after the pipe is hot enough. I like the new design for your pipe flattening jig. It looks like something I could actually use. I also love your flintknapping videos and am thinking about trying that, too. I love that you use materials that aren't expensive to make your projects. Otherwise, I couldn't even afford to try them. I hope you and your family are well! Keep up the good work!

Damn you lost some weight. Looking fly now mate. Bet u feel so much better too

That's pretty nice looking Nick.

Holy cow, man!! I didn't know you have written books on this stuff!! Sign me up! I'm going to look them up online and buy a few copies... thanks for sharing with us, budd!!!

Nick, I have watched all your videos, and I have to say. You are a very smart and creative man. Thank you for all the content you put out. I have just purchased two of your books, and can not wait till they arrive. I will use them and hopefully make some quality gear. Thanks again for all you do. Gene

Is conduit stronger than regular pvc?

Nice!! Would like to see you make some Longswords/Bastard Swords bout 4 feet overall.

How resistant to impact can these be? Nice video btw.

Beautiful knife. how about a katana?

🙏❤️🙏 I'd love to see a Dao Large Chinese Broad Sword. Would need some big pipe.

Hey Nick, I was trying to make this for a friend of mine, but I want able to get the pipe to melt right. I spent probably an hour with a heat gun and then 10 minutes with a blowtorch and neither worked well. I’m not sure what to do?

What heat gun are you using?

Nick! First off, glad you're back. I found your stuff back in about 2013 and have been sub'ed ever since. I've been watching and liking everything of yours that's popped up since you decided to start posting again. The internet is truly a darker place without your presence. Anyway, Question: have you ever tried solvent welding the tips of a pipe when you clamp them like that? I haven't done much heat forming of PVC, but it seems like if you coated the inside of the last couple of inches of the pipe with PVC glue before you clamped it the solvent would bond the two sides and keep it from gapping like that when you cut and finished it. I don't know how the glue would react to the heat, so you might have to apply it quickly after you took it off the heat gun and before you put it in the jig to clamp it... do you think that would be possible, or would that cool the PVC too much before you tried to form it? If it worked, you might be able to do the same thing to the tips of your bows. Just a thought...

Yay your making more vids......could you make more knives

Can it be used for sparring.

frodo's sword? glowing ? ;)

I would love to see what you could do to make a katana out of PVC. And I think I would close the end of the knife with joint compound, caulk, or something. It kool I like it alot!

Hey Nick, do you think a hair dryer would produce enough heat to do this project?

Damn bro looking good. You on keto or what?

anyone ever tell you that you kinda look like Ilya from man at arms reforged?
