how to make grips

[obikenobi]

hay i wil show you here how to make grips for your sabers
i find it difficult to find a wiper that i can use for grips so i make them meself. here's how it ko's
we take a piece of pvc pipe 80 mm long, that's how long the grips wil be and some plastic strips .i took my from a broken cd rack. and cutt it in smal strips of 3mm

the we take a piece of tape and we measure 12 a 13 mm on it 6 or 7 times
then we stick the tape around the pipe, and cut the pipe in parts (12 a 13 mm)

then we glue the plastic strips (3mm) in the middle of the other parts (12 a 13mm)
and spray it black or any color you want

I'm not sure what kind of plastic strips you are talking about, but that's a great idea! I wasn't sure what I could do for the grips I wanted to make, but now I know what I'm going to try. Thanks!
