Author	Topic: Your Lightsaber
Vader1029 Registered: May '02	Date Posted: 6/21/02 10:56pm Subject: RE: Your Lightsaber
	I have made 3 of the Big Yellow Box sabers and am working on the fourth. I have made slight modifications to each, some due to preference and some for lack of parts. I have also made a few totaly custom sabers from pvc plumbing parts. But, I am having a really hard time making custom sabers from metal parts used in most BYB sabers. Can anyone give me some insight on how you design and figure out what parts will work and which ones to use. I am a fairly creative person but am hitting a brick wall when it comes to this!! -----signature----- The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner. Now, I am the master.

	Hello, I'm trying to make a "Graflex" replica saber. I'm having problems getting the emitter cut-out just right. Can anyone tell me where I can find (or email me) a template for the emitter? I tried the PROJECT GRAFLEX site, but it's gone. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Kolapi Kolapi@msn.com

	No, the pic didn't make it up. Which saber is it? I really like the site; I'm currently working on a simple design inspired by Vima's, Leia's, and Darth Exodus'. Very simple and sleek. My "cheap" saber is made from a bathroom pop-up drain assembly found at Wal-Mart for $9.94 that looks surprisingly like a lightsaber as it is. I've just got to rearrange where the parts are for the pommel and emitter, and replace the bolt on the side with something smaller. -----signature----- Leia Costuming: Clothing A Star Wars Obsession (plus other things) http://www.stormtrooperprincess.com Costuming Journal http://www.livejournal.com/users/leiac

My Park Sabre is the Echelon w/ a teal blade. >> Thanks! We have duelled with them, yes. One of my fellow Kendo students and I have gone full-out sparring with them, and they've taken the abuse quite well. Just scratches on the clear polycarbonate shell is all that has resulted. My wife is just learning some basic moves, so we can't duel at full speed yet. But she's learning. -----signature----- Brendan "I swallowed a bug." - River Tam

	Thanks for the tip. it's good to hear the blades won't break. I wonder what your kendo teachers thinkwhen they see you guys sparring with light sabres? And if it ahd sound Fx, whoa. LOL I see his face now. As for kendo, I don't know off any around here I could spar with. Too bad all of us on these lists couldn't meet somewhere at onbe of the conventions.

Works for me, since I dont' do any fighting with it. . . -----signature----- "A life lived in fear is a life half-lived." -Strictly Ballroom SW Fan Art: http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=21732135&replies=2 General Artwork: http://photobucket.com/albums/b110/luen1839/

	Did someone say my lightsaber? All for a fan film. All custom-machined to custom designs. From left to right: 1) Built and used by the Jedi Knight Kai-El Masta'an after his battle with the Sith Lord Darth Sol. Having lost his saber (and his hand) to Sol, Kai-El built a saber more suitable for a one-handed fighting style, and continues to use the saber despite his having since received a bionic arm. Green blade. 2) Kai-El's former saber. The lower, padded hand-hold provided a comfortable grip while the upper grip provided a stable grip no matter what style was employed. Green blade. 3) Kai-El's apprentice and adopted brother, Kori-El Masta'an, is the owner of this saber. Built from a single piece of duranium. Blue blade. 4) Upon his return from the Dark Side, Darth Sol, formerly known as Janus Thorin, took on the name Janus Darksol to remind himself of what he had been. In a similar way, he retained the lightsaber he had built as a Sith Lord as a constant reminder, though he changed the crystals inside. Purple blade. 5) Darksol's former Sith Apprentice, now the master, is known as Darth Zhell. An agressive and dangerous man, Zhell often uses the four sharpened prongs on the end of his saber to torture his victims before finally killing them. Red blade. 6) Random saber. Unassigned as of yet. No backstory. Cool though, huh? 7 [bottom]) The first double-ended lightsaber in a millennium, wielded by a Tassek (a formidable sect of Dark Jedi which uses technological augmentations to make up for less-than-formidable Force capabilities) known only as Seether. Unlike previous double-bladed lightsabers, the center can be disengaged and reattached quickly and easily, making Seether a potentially dangerous flurry of saber blades. Though not my character's (I play Kai-El), #4 is my personal favorite. M. Scott -----signature----- Yes We Did http://www.ryanvsdorkman.com Check out my blog: http://dorkmanscott.wordpress.com
