I got impatient with myself and instead of spending $30 to build one out a cheap pool cue, I bought an machined aluminum one for $150.<br /><br />I sold the costume pike later, but still have all the pieces to build one, and now I'm really tempted to go back and do it.

Well, that'..."How much did it cost?"<br /><br />Well, that's an interesting question. Walking into it I didn't have the right tools for cutting PVC or the like. In addition, as you saw with the rubber centerpiece, some ideas I had didn't end up materializing in the actual dagger.<br /><br />Also, should I include the optional bits like the doorbells? And should I include the paints?<br /><br />Theoretically, the important parts of the dagger should end up costing around $30-40, especially if you already have the tools necessary. Made all the better is the fact that PVC is actually really cheap. Each length of pipe I got was less than a buck each.<br /><br />How long did it take you per day?
