Sink tube Staff

**darthdan** · 01-30-2007, 11:55 PM

OK folks, I know some of you have to have done these at one point... How would one go about making a sink tube staff that breaks apart in the middle without having a bulky connector? every connector I've seen for joining two sinktubes basically consists of a thick ring that would make it very uncomfortable(and unsightly) to handle.
God knows, I'd rather just find a MHS solution, but the wife is already

over boxes from Tim showing up (You spent $60 on that little box?)
So for now I'm going the cheap route(still from Tim, just cheaper) so if anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it.

P.S. My stripped down Vader/katana saber is now done!

And as soon as my camera is fixed I'll have pics up... On that note if anyone wants the cosmetic Vader stuff(everything except the shroud) PM me with your address and I'll just send it to you. I have no need for it.

I know of 20some" Sinktubes at minards but your best bet is to use tims m/m connector.

For a pair of 1.5" sink tubes you could also just take the double-ended female connector and the 2.5" extension tube in the MHS components, then bolt the female into the end of one sink tube and the male into the end of the other.

or 2 sink tube adapters and the male/male connector.

well what I was thinkin but one end would be open. maybe I can explain it right. like on my grandma's walker, to fold it you have to push this little button thing so one tube can slide in the other, what if you used it to put and take apart the 2 halves.
