Build a Lightsaber

Step 8 Intergrating the MHS with the sink tube

Now you have a sink tube that does not look like it should be connected to the bathroom sink anymore. You should have something that looks like a work of art, or at least a piece of machinery.

Take your Sink Tube Adapter(s) and slide it inside the sink tube with the threaded section facing towards the edge of the sink tube. With your sharpie pen, mark the sink tube with dots in the locations where the screw holes are going to be.

Remove the sink tube adapter. Drill holes a little larger than the screw being used in the sink tube.

The sink tube adapter comes predilled and tapped for 10-32 machine screws. All we need is two holes on the sink tube to secure the adapter to the sink tube.

Put the adapter back in the sink tube and secure with the screws.

Test fit the hilt parts.

Collect random parts. Keep them in a bin. Go get some thumb screws, LED bezels, leather studs/spikes, machines screws, etc. What ever you can think of to dress up your hilt body.
