Hi all. I would like to build a (small) saber for my two year old. I have a hilt made out of a 1.25" sink tube, and it is too large for him to comfortable hold. I'd like to figure out how I can make a hilt that is as narrow as possible.... without doing any machining of my own (I don't have the equipment or the timel but I'm willing to pay...)

I'd go with a LED hilt with a 3/4" blade, a simple resister for the LED (white + filters), and the tube ideally would be just slightly larger...

Would anyone be able to help me navigate what parts might work? Would the LEDs even possibly fit; or is a 1.25" sink tube the limit for them?
