PVC Bo (Fighting Stafff)

Well, seeing as there had been Instructables to make PVC weapons lately ( Tonfas, Nunchucks ) I decided to share my PVC Bo Staff. I Know that PVC isn't the best material for a Bo Staff, but if you don't have wood or metal, this is the next best thing. It is also quite durable ( If you fill it with cement or sand )
and easy to wield. So, let's get started!

Materials






Ok, so for this Bo staff you're going to need these materials:
- About 3-6 feet long ( The length of the staff is up to you ) of 1/2 inch PVC pipe
- 2 PVC endcaps
- Sand or cement ( Optional, but if you want to make your staff stronger, get this )
- Hacksaw
- PVC glue ( Also optional, but if you don't wanna have the staff falling apart again and again, get this )
- Electrical, Grip, or Duct tape ( Grip tape works best, but I don't have any at the time, so I used Elctrical tape )
Cut the Pipe

Cut the 1/2 inch PVC pipe. A good length of a Bo Staff would be 4-6 feet long. You can also cut it shorter, and you'll have a Jo Staff ( Shorter version of Bo )
Apply Endcap

Apply the PVC Endcap to one side of the pipe staff. If you have PVC glue, use it.
Optional: Strengthen the Staff
Insert your sand or cement to the uncapped end of the staff. This step is optional, but I highly recommend it because it'll strengthen your staff ( It's better if you use cement, but I don't have any at the time, and sand is second best, since it works well too. )
Apply Other Encap

After you filled the staff with the cement or sand ( or not ), apply endcap to the other side of the staff. If you have PVC glue, use it.
Apply Tape

Apply grip, duct, or electrical tape on the handle of the staff. Like I said before, grip tape works best, but electrical or duct tape works well too.
You Are Done!

Woooo! You are done! See, easy, right? Have fun ( yes ) and be safe ( NOT! ), LOL.
