Today I helped my son make a bow and arrows.
Plastic conduit, duct tape, string and a heat gun.
Oh, and a YouTube video showing us how to do it.

awesome looking bow, did you fill the pipe with sand?

No just bent it by heating with the heat gun and squashing the end 3rd flatter toward the end and putting a curve in as it cooled.
One end of the bow can be removed to make it a take down bow. It's pretty powerful as is and there is more flex to be utilized however, I will let him get used to it before we strengthen it and go for better arrows.
Sand would have been a good idea though to keep the conduit round for most of its length.

i was only watching a you tube video last night on ow to bend pvc and they showed the difference with sand vs no sand. makes perfect sense as its acts like a mandrel.

There is an easier way to bend electrical conduit its called a bending spring, all electricians should have havem
or you can buy them from electrical wholesalers

Hey Yournutz,
I like those springs, would make bending much easier, especially when the conduit becomes quite soft. Would hold the shape nicely.

when you use those springs you don't need to heat the conduit up, there made to use on the conduit cold (as is) they work a treat

Was getting annoyed with my B&Z booster and how to mount it on my F1A4, nobody wants wires hanging everywhere, didn't want it to be a hassle to remove when I want headphones only, didn't want the speakers falling off while fumbling around in the bush. So I had a spare couple of hours this morning and this is what I made from a few scraps of aluminium, some nuts and bolts, a bit of drilling, hacksawing and filing, some Velcro scraps to hold the booster. Now I can angle the speakers however I need straight back to my ears!
Thought id share if anyone else has the same problem!

That's pretty cool. I reckon speaker oscillation could be an issue for really loud targets on a big coil but an awesome solution.
Where are you plugging the coffee machine mate??
