Here are some pictures of my force pike. It was made using the following materials.

Thanks. I use the case for my FX saber as well. No worries of it breaking when it is in that thing.

Hey Derek, How long is your pike from end to end? is there a standard or is just eyeballed? i started mine today and it's seeming a bit short.

I don't think there is a standard length. I made mine proportianate to my height. I am 5' 9", so I just held it and had someone pull out the telescoping part till it was about halfway up my helmet when my arms were down, which is around what the guards were holding it at in the reference pictures. I ended up decreasing it by about 1.5 inches, so that it would fit in my gun/saber case without needing to sit at an angle.
