"What are you guys using for buttons?"

For my plastic canvas lightsaber, I stitched 3 squares of plastic canvas together and stitched it onto the hilt.

But you probably meant the other sabers, huh?

Kids sure grow fast.
My first baby turns 7 in April.
My second one turns 5 in May.
And my new baby girl is a 16 month old teenager!
How do they get so big so fast?

JD, you can get the stuff at Lowe's. I don't have any right now, but it's thinner walled. The thicker stuff is SCH-40, the thinner stuff has a Max PSI of like 160 or so. SCH-40 has a Max PSI of 320 or so. It's cheap and easy to cut with a rotary tool.

To paint it, I was originally going to use this stuff (also at Lowe's) called Plasti Dip. It's used to give a nice rubber grip to tools and stuff. It is really nice, but it had a draw back. I could only find the actual dipping stuff, and it worked great with a little trimming, but because of the process, it coats the inside as well. That made it too thick to go on the sink pipe. After several tries and different attacks (painting it on) I gave up and used a flat black spray paint. If you can find the black spray Plasti Dip, I would use that. You'll get a great look and can prevent the inside of the tube from getting thicker.

If you can finde the spray kind, that's great, but you'll need time and patience to work with the dipping kind.

cool, I think a friend of mine has some of the spray stuff, so he should be able to tell me where to get it. If nothing else, I might be able to jury rig something w/ the dip...

thanks!

Well, my Lightsaber could be seen in "Brains and Steel". I am not sure if I have a picture of it online, but if you saw the movie, there it was:)

(I was in there, alongside Clay Kronke, and the saber he holds while saying "I´ve never seen its equal" is mine)
