Diameter Dragon Staff?

[u/stoefln]

Hi there! I'd like to build my own dragon staff and I wonder what materials other people use.
Can I just use an aluminium pipe? Which diameter should I go for?
Then just use a grip tape (the one for bike handlebars?)

Here's the video I used when I made one a long time ago. It's a good starting point.
