In this video we build a blow gun and darts for less than $10! Step by step instructions and materials needed down below! Blowgun Materials needed: 2 3 foot sections of ½ inch, threaded PVC pipe 1 ½ inch threaded connector 1 ½ inch T joint 2 ½ inch plugs Steps: 1) Screw the T joint into the end of the first length of pipe 2) Attach the connector into the other end 3) Insert the 2 plugs into the sides of the T joint 4) Cut second length of pipe in half (make sure to not leave behind any of the plastic shavings after the cut. Sand the area down and rinse off) 5) Drill a hole in the top of the T joint to serve as a mouthpiece. (use a file and sandpaper to clean off the shavings) 6) Take second length of pipe that was already cut and attach to the connector Darts Materials needed: Some sort of thin metal rod. Options include: Bike wheels spokes, umbrella spokes, or insulation support wires. In the video we used the insulation support wires. Pillow stuffing or alpaca fur. Something fluffy that will hold together well. We used pillow stuffing in the video. Super glue Thread Steps: 1) Cut the metal rods to desired length 2) Sharpen one end of the darts by hammering it flat and then using a metal file to fine tune the edge. 3) Apply a small amount of super glue about 2 inches from the back of the dart 4) Run the back of the dart through the stuffing to the point where the glue is. Make sure the stuffing makes good contact with the glue and is well adhered to the metal. 5) Work towards the back of the dart adding more glue and adhering more stuffing until you reach the end. 6) Take the thread and wrap it around the base of the stuffing many times by spinning the dart in your fingers. After the thread is well and secure, run a single thread up and around the length of the fletching. When this single thread reaches the end of the fletching use a small drop of super glue to secure the thread in place and then cut. 7) Coat the spool of thread at the base of the fletching with a healthy amount of super glue. When this dries this will protect the thread and make it stronger, giving it a kind of armor coating. Subscribe if you liked this and share with somebody!

The trebuchet in action for out 1000 subscriber special! Launching pumpkins, destroying forts. This backyard project is a lot of fun to build on any scale but is even more fun when launching items hundreds of feet across a field. This live event gave us all the opportunity to get some great launches! Every year in the fall a bunch of local churches in our area come together to put on a weekend retreat called Refuel. It's an awesome retreat just for young guys and they put on all sorts of awesome events and classes like blacksmithing, archery, they teach them to use heavy digging equipment (you can hear the back up beeping in the video haha), and all sorts of awesome stuff like that. And we were lucky enough to be invited to come out and hang out with some of the guys and set up our trebuchet as one of the events.

Arrows can be a lot of fun for target practice or even just carrying while on adventures. Making arrows your self can be a enjoyable and makes it less upsetting when you lose them in the woods. Make your own arrows for less than $3! Using a few simple ingredients like string, tape, and some sort of PVC box I was able to make some pretty awesome arrows that worked super well. Try this one out yourself! Be careful and respect the tool you build.

Over the last several weeks we have been hard at work peeling the bark off of a PILE of giant logs for our fort in the woods. In this video we show you our process and teach you how to do it so you can do the same for your own fort, log cabin or barn! Thanks everyone for watching and hope you enjoy!
