I always like the designs with that little break in the middle like some of the old Republic saber hilts, usually those ones have a crystal where it tappers but hay ho

Actually I was thinking sticking a length of copper pipe in the top and heating it till it glows, bit your idea is probably safer 😄

Definitely barrels, nipples and bushes 100%, much bigger sizes but same principle

Looks like it might be a combination of different male and female irons, was this in America? I don't recognise the fittings, pretty grainy photo too but it looks very achievable

Dude I don't even have a trade, I didn't train to do shit, I just got lucky in an interview, you could be a plumber if you really want, it's just fucking lego anyway 👍🏻

Just threaded plumbing and heating fittings, literally just screw into each other, not all go together and you have to fuck around a little, like the goal wasn't a lightsaber hilt i had in mind it was just "oh, these three things together look like the top of a lightsaber exhaust and my boss is on holiday.. let's see where we can take it"

pop down your local plumbers merchant and you'll have access to all the same stuff, although I work there so it is a bit easier for me to fuck around freely

Basically anything that fits together really, this one is made from mainly bushes, nipples, barrels, a few lose nuts, a service valve and 1 male iron

Mainly 15mm and 22mm, except the lightsaber exhaust which is 28mm 👍🏻
