Hi everybody,
I am currently building a proton pack and am running into a few difficulties. I bought a neutrona wand kit from Throwing Chicken, and am unable to locate a PVC or aluminum pipe for the handles. Any suggestions on where I can find something locally?
home depot or lowes, or any local hardware story really, is usually a good place to start.
What up man! Nice to meet you at the con,
I was looking at KagaSaki build thread (Mark's NEW Pack/Thrower build! Round Two! Hero Pack! - Proton Packs - GBFans.com) and looks like he used a 1-1/4" (thin wall) x 10’ aluminum closet rod - looks pretty good!

Onlinemetals.com & Speedymetals.com have the right stuff for thrower handles, PPD, Vacuum tube, etc. If you’ve got welding equipment, I’m sure they’ve got what you’d need for other cylindrical aluminum bits too 
I used this thread as a reference for what to buy: DIY Metal Proton Pack Parts (A Shopping List) - Proton Packs - GBFans.com
If you’re in the Seattle area, OnlineMetals is on W Ewing St in Interbay. I ordered online last year and was able to pick up stuff in a few hours. I didn’t have the right power tools, so I cut down everything by hand; IMO, it was super easy to do if you’ve got some patience & one of those cheap miter boxes you can pick up at Home Depot / Lowes.
