Doright, those sabers rule!!!! And you've finally given me a solution for doing rotocasting without a blade!! But, how do you do it? Because I saw a reflector in both of those, and I'll be having a reflector in mine too!!

Awesome job, that motivates me to try PVC too, or maybe a PVC/Chrome Sink Tailpiece Combo, that makes it look machined. You have mastered that effect.

I'm not from the US, so I can't help you there. However I read in a thread about it a long time ago, and the guy bought it at Wal-mart I believe.

It's also possible to make one yourself from sheet metal. I tried it and it works quite nicely.

cool, thanks man. I thought that's what he'd said (wal-mart) but the clip I got was the only one I could find. It works great for keeping the d-ring style clip on there, but it still takes 2 hands to release it.

Oh the blades in those pictures are done with photo shop and are not real. they are just hilts I made. I put a plastic jewel in the emitter for the color of choice. I like to add a fake blade to the picture so people can get the old imagination going on how they would look in use. happy


I do occasionally put an acrylic rod in a saber for a blade but I don't have away of doing it so it can be removed yet.

I just make 2 sabers. one with and one without here is an example of that.

clicky clicky

Just curious, but where does everyone get their D-rings. I went to Loews and couldn't find any. I asked someone working there and they looked at me like I was crazy and making up products.

look in the section for hanging pictures on your wall. I found a few really nice one's that are actually made to use on the back of a frame or photo.

my saber that has a d-ring was machined by a buddy of mine, I'm not sure where he gets his from (possibly orders them online, but I can't say for sure).
