Quick and Dirty Daggers

For this project, you'll need the following:

DAP
3M Spray Adhesive
Scrap 3/4" PVC Pipe
PVC End Caps 1/2" Evalite
2" Unifoam
Scissors
Foam Knife

Step One: Prepare the Core, Closed Cell

This design is for quick, dirty, crappy daggers. They take minutes to make (most of the wait is dry time) and you can easily make a dozen in an hour. The design isn't the greatest - it's not intended to be. It's intended to be fast as hell. If you do not cut the open cell very well, it will compress to the side. Most of my designs take imperfection into account already so they're very easy to duplicate, this one doesn't. :)

First, DAP your end caps on. After they're dry, wrap and cap both ends.

Step Two: Stabbing Tip

Cut a piece of open cell foam at least 2.5" across. (Your 3M cap is about that size...) 3M it on. The open cell will overhang immensely. After it's dry, duct tape around the whole end 6-10 times. If you're really clever with your duct tape wrap (but poor with your open cell cut), you can fix the compression problem, by the way. Use diagonal strips to pull the direction differently. But anyway, add a sock and you're good to go.
