I am the music director at church. I can't count how many batons I have broken over the years. I decided to make a baton that collapses so I won't break it.Here is my design.
The baton is based on a Jr. Gent kit with a double long cap. the 'baton' is made from holly while the rest is Ambrosia maple. It is a little heavier than I would like, but I build more arm muscles that way.

Here is a shot of the baton safely stowed until next Sunday. It is about 1/2" longer than a standard Jr. Gent pen, but fits nicely in the pocket of my suit coat. If I did it again, I would make the cap just a little shorter.
