12. Danco Replacement Kitchen Handles (Home Depot)-$11.97-for base of lightsaber,
dont use H/C covers, rather put cotter pin/fender washer/d-ring through end
for belt ring
13. windsheald wipers-24" long-$2.97 - use these instead of "Foamies" if
you want a lightsaber handle like darth vaders
Items not shown in picture that you will need:
2-part epoxy glue (not super glue, its not strong enough), to attach wiper
blades, kitchen handle to metal pipe, and PVC pipe to metal pipe
Sheet metal, to make control box (see my lightsaber)
tin snips, to cut sheet metal
flathead screwdriver, to tighten hose clamps
Drimel drill (if you have one) to cut and drill PVC pipe, or use hack saw
(drimel is best because you can cut curves in your blade emitter shroud
spray adhesive, to attach foamies to metal pipe
spray paint (I used enamel), to paint PVC pipe whatever color you want (dont
spray metal pipe because spray wont stick well, even if its metal paint (the
metals too
smooth))
some creativity and the Force :)
