    Very nice effects to look like metal.

    Can I ask how tough the paint finish is ( ie. will it hold upto wear and tear ).

    The blade will fit right into the 1" pvc. just make sure you set LED about 3" down so you dont snap pvc, if done this way you could smack a wall and only do damage to the wall. Darth Midian gave a great suggestion about using furniture inserts for blade retention screws, i have used this method on all mine and they work great.

    I really like your designs, I never thought of using PVC piping, it would be easier to control the colouring.
