Building The Blades (if building your own)
Alright, so you've decided to take the plunge and build your own blades. This page will cover building pvc and wooden (coming soon) blades. You'll need some tools for this step which we'll go over, but you'll feel a real sense of accomplishment when you're finished... I know I did.
We'll first start out with showing you how to build PVC blades. So what tools do you need to build PVC blades?
- PVC pipe (either 4" or 6")
- Jig saw, table saw, or handsaw
- two different colors of marker
- tape measure
- piece of string (you'll see why)
