Saber-stuff: Makeshift Lightsaber
This is a quick tutorial on how to make a DIY lightsaber. I plan to add a torch or some LEDs to it it in the future, but for now i am content. Take note that this is a guard shoto. That means it is shorter than most lightsabers. Most Jedi who use these use them as a secondary lightsaber, but for a smaller Jedi a guard shoto is perfect.
Equipment
I made this so that there is no glueing required, and can be taken apart easily. You will need:
2 hose adapters, 1hose nozzle, 2 double adapters, duct tape, a bubble tube thing, and about 5 centimetres of hose.

Body
Put the bit of hose into both ends of the hose adapters. It should look like the pictures above.
Ends
Now connect the two double adapters together and shove them on one side of the body
Blade
Now push the bubble tube thing onto the hose nozzle and duct tape it together. Now put the nozzle on the body
Done!
Now just connect the blade to your main hilt and your done! Feel free to experiment with torches and lights to make a better lightsaber.
