I found this video explaining how to make a hotwire bow using PVC pipe, D-Cell batteries, and nichrome resistance wire:

Ha! That clip was funny as hell to me. Probably b/c he's burnt the h@ly fnck out of himself before and was speaking from experience.

That was a great find! Thank you for posting that. If I get the nerve, I'll have to try and make that. I'm a total nOoB when it comes to creating electrical items.

Thanks for the help!

Thud, I don't know if you are still looking for something to help cut styrofoam. I myself am looking for a hot knife cutter. I found this thread on here. Hot-Wire Foam Pro Tools For Cheap!.

I'm thinking of trying to make it.
