My last scythe was made out of a curtain pole and part of a for sale sign. Some students from Dundee said it looked shit so it has been in the boot of my Volvo ever since.
I thought making a new one in Tokyo might be difficult. A visit to ‘Tokyu hands’ solved everything. Using to jumbo length postage tubes and some wood, blue foam and wood and metal effect parcel tapes I managed to make a scythe in a morning using my bed and bedside safe as a make do workstation. The scythe is collapsible and should safely make it through reception without attracting any undue attention. My only worry is that the chamber maid may have seen my messing around with it in my white wig as she passed the door.
