Here is a quick explanation of the PVC crossbow I built. A full, more detailed video will be posted directly after this one.
This is only the first design, so hopefully a second one will have less issues and be more comfortable.
Thanks to Backyard Bowyer for the idea to use PVC.

This is a simple, cheap sword I made for about nine dollars and a few days of work. Not that hard at all to do and all the materials were sold at the hardware store. This video also includes a quick put together of the sword and description on why I made it, etc.

Looks? great :D By: CondemnedGraham. on 22 Apr 12, 22:03:48 Looks? great :D
I don't just make and design weapons, I do other things in my free time as well, like food challenges. After doing the milk challenge, some more friends wanted to try a couple. This group joined Sean and I for the marshmallows, doughnuts, and peppers.
I wimped out on the peppers, but that's okay because I don't have that much pride.
Made some "Greek fire bombs" by hand using air dry clay. It was pretty easy, though molotov cocktails would've been easier/faster to make. Only filled up about half way with gasoline and would dust because I didn't know how volatile it would be.

first? and cool. By: etwangboy. on 23 Feb 12, 01:38:15 first? and cool.
Handwoven, using only U1O1 weave pattern for all parts of the whip. This was my first try and I made it with no handles since I did not have materials. My next whip will definitely be a bull whip.
All cracking info and such is in the video itself.
Do you guys like the subtitles? I might put them in future videos to specify information.
The cracking whip ... By: jacqueshewitt. on 24 May 12, 20:13:58 The cracking whip us actually a sonic boom when the whip breaks the sound barrier? ;)

You'll need closer ... By: spinafire. on 31 Jan 12, 21:04:18 You'll need closer to 200ft to make a 6-8ft whip. I probably? used more than 200 due to screw ups.
Ah, I see. Now that ... By: DoctorSteamPhd. on 31 Jan 12, 02:11:54 Ah, I see. Now that I think about it, I've seen some here? and there. Definitely something to try since I got 100 feet of para cord for Christmas.
Hmm... probably not ... By: spinafire. on 31 Jan 12, 01:33:05 Hmm... probably not, just because I actually made it from tutorials I googled. I made it very inefficiently too :P?
That's really? cool ... By: DoctorSteamPhd. on 31 Jan 12, 00:53:12 That's really? cool! Any intentions on doing a tutorial of sorts?
Based off of a nail bat, this thing is pretty menacing to hold. 2x4 base and tempered rebar spikes. Made in an hour or so with some quick working.
Additional inspiration from Fallout.

The whole thing cost $100, including the burner, furnace, propane, and fittings.

Still, you're doing some bloody good work. Keep it up mate.
Based off of some kind of pantera claw I saw a while ago, this is a project I had sitting in a drawer for some time and finally decided to complete. Works like I planned it to.
Flaming sword may or may not come, it's hard planning multiple things over a short period of time.
Just made this. My first magazine, true trigger rifle from pretty much my own ideas. It's smaller than I expected, which is what I was aiming for. Posting this video so my friends can see how my stuff works.
Plans for the future (if I get moneyz):
Roman Scorpion
Greek Fire Bombs
Shishkebab from Fallout 3 (flaming sword)
Made this Dec 13, in about 4 hours.
