Hello All,
Looking to have a Forcepike made from steel and made to be dismantled.
Does anyone make these or does someone have drawings so I can get one made at a local workshop.
I live in Australia, if anyone else from the land down under a looking to have a forcepike we might be able to get a few made.

thanks Peter :forcepike:

Any chance you would be willing to share the drawings/plans with me? I'd be interested in making one for myself and could use a good set of plans to start from.

Thanks,
Madighon

What style of pike do you want, and how much does it need to split apart?

Cabbagefarmer pikes are good, however there is a guy in Aus who makes ROTJ pikes. They are a very high quality item, and he doesn't complete many, however by the time shipping comes in to play anywhere from overseas to Aus, it may work out cheaper to go through him (it also may not). I have a pic of the pike in my build thread from when I joined.

This guy won't share the plans with you though. So if you want to make it yourself contacting him won't help.

I've drawn blueprints for a force pike, please let me know if anyone has anything to add/subtract etc. I plan to make the entire thing out of aluminum exept the rasp witch will be out of Brass. I will then paint the pomell and grips black. I'm interested in any comments or suggestions everyone has. These are not final drawings as I drew them in Microsoft Excel and so there are no true radius where there will be a couple in the final product. Total length of the Force Pike with these dimensions is 48.5 inches.

Please remember that this is all based in inches, so 1/16 inch = .0625, 1/8 inch = .125, 1/4 inch = .25 and 1/2 inch = .5 etc.

Would a cheap plastic POS work for this? (for now)

Weapons aren't part of the approval process so technically yes. You want to make sure though when you hold it in your hand next to your body it'll go a few inches above your head. Nothing major, just a few inches.

Madighon's blueprints look great. Another force pike maker in the Detachment!

Thanks man, its cheap so thought it would be good.

do you by chance have a link to good red boots that I can wear that are relatively cheap for the ROTJ?
