How Do You Build A Lightsaber Handle?
Lightsabers were created by George Lucas for his “Star Wars” films. The Jedi Knights carried lightsabers to use as weapons. A basic lightsaber handle needs grips, a button and a hook. Build a lightsaber handle from a wooden closet rod. You can add more decoration to your lightsaber, if desired. A wooden handle is lightweight but sturdy and will last several years if properly cared for. Apply wood glue to one of the length sides of a rectangular piece of wood that measures 1 inch wide by 2 inches long by a half-inch thick. Press it onto the middle of the rod lengthwise. Fill any gaps between the rod and rectangular piece with wood glue. Let the glue dry completely. Put on a paint mask. Spray paint the entire rod with silver metallic paint. Let the paint dry.

You can have the rings pressed close together or spaced out. Use more if necessary. Apply
