Vibro axe again. (See post #129 - #132)

[Ryan Clinton]

if anyone is willing i would love it if you could make a tutorial on how to make this prop since i am starting my journey to make mine

To get started get yourself a gillett supermax hair dryer. Ebay or etsy

 

[LordHeadass]

got it

 

[LordHeadass]

Does anyone have any suggestions to make the axe able to come apart for it to be able to fit in a suit case? Im thinking of just having the main pole being able to separate to fit in luggage

 

[LordHeadass]

Also how should i go about getting holes that are straight and that line up on each side of the hair dryer

There is a tutorial on ebay about breaking down larger props for transport, I'll post the link later when I'm at my desktop.

I don't understand what you mean about the holes lining up on the dryer....

 

[LordHeadass]

what I mean is getting the the top, and bottom holes on the dryer that I will need to make line up so that the pole goes straight through and I don’t have to move it at an awkward angle for it to go through both holes

Honestly the bottom is obvious, the top, you have a center line, just pay attention to the original prop vents. Look at where the back of the pole lines up with the vents.

Or you can make a rough estimate on how close it is to the back of the hairdryer. Itll line up once you put the pole in

I measured mine according to the axe blade template I had at the time.

The tricky part about the vibro axe is the piping from the cannon connector to the pole. From the bottom pipe connection to the top would have to be one piece

 

[LordHeadass]

do you have the template for the blade?

 

[Ryan Clinton]

It's an old one and not accurate. It's not that far off.

 

[LordHeadass]

if you could help me find a new one that would be awesome

Unlimited Run - Aluminum vibro axe blade

Here's what I eventually used for the wire. Its what worked for me and since this was my 8th round of redoing this I was willing to go to great lengths to get it right. I used the tubing pictured. Cut out all plastic in-between the wire, glued it to the pole in the arrangement shown on the prop...

Looks correct you just need to cut the right side down to match the left side
