I made a little baseball bat years ago for that purpose and recently had fun making more different ones for friends. As you can see I used a piece of rebar for the bat. I “turned” it using a drill and angle grinder then going through different grains of sanding: [https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/ca6ba6db-bb1a-42e8-abe6-e2f9daeaefbf.jpeg] The lightsaber’s hilt was made the same way, using a dremel tool to get more control on the details. The “blade” is made of Corian, a synthetic stone commonly used for countertops. The sword required a lot more precision to make and ended up okay but looking closely nothing is really symmetrical or straight… I grinded it from a random stick of metal, the pommel is made from aluminum and the grip is two layers of sewing thread soaked in superglue, sanded, then superglued again. A cross-guard would have added a lot of character but I didn’t find a nice and easy enough way to do it, and I was short on time…
