Any advice on making a giant gavel for Higuruma costume?

Wait 5 sec.

I’d like to go as him for Halloween but with an oversized gavel (3-5 feet), however I have little to no experience building props so I’m a bit lost on how to even start or what to do. I live in NYC so I think there’s access to parts but just don’t know how to even begin, has anyone made something similar or done so in NYC and has recs for shops?   submitted by   /u/kyloren42069 [link]   [comments]
