I'm working on a fan film and i need alot of help from alot of different people. More importantly sabers. I'm looking for someone to design a number of sabers for the project (5 in total, 3 jedi and 2 sith). They need to be made to hold wooden dowels for the fighting sequences. Your contributions will be credited in the film and website. E-mail me at greenweeze@yahoo.com if you are interested in contributing.

Your sabers look amazing

Those look great, Brood! The preview pics look funny because of their demensions. They looked like marshmallow sabers or something. Very nice work.

Thanks, Joe. I think it looks funny too. Makes the real picture look too long and skinny. tongue

JediDragon, I used the thinner 1.5 in. PVC pipe, not the SCH40 crap. I mitred the end to a 45 degree angle and then cut another 45 degree angle, but not all the way through. Then I used a rotary tool (dremel, wizard, etc.) to cut the other parts out. It's cheap (around $1.50 for 10ft.) so you can screw up a few times like i did and it doesn't matter.

I just took the Style VI saber from the Big Yellow Box site and changed it to meet my needs.

Thanks again...

and Dice, I like your yoda saber.

I just finished my lightsaber handle today. Purely decoration, not a dueling one.

It is made out of plastic canvas, yarn, a 1 3/4 inch wooden dowel, and a keyring.

I wish I had a picture of it, but I don't have the means, so I will describe it.

It has a red button, and around that is a black diamond shape. there is also an off-white square around the button.

On the lower handle, I have three black 'grips' with arrows on both ends. The bottom 1 1/2 inch is off white, and there are 3 inlaid 'jewels', blue, red, and green, lined up with the arrows.

The dowel is inside to help keep the shape.

I have worked so hard in it and I am glad I got it done in time for Halloween.

Kids sure grow fast.
My first baby turns 7 in April.
My second one turns 5 in May.
And my new baby girl is a 16 month old teenager!
How do they get so big so fast?

What are you guys using for buttons? I used a button from an old NES controller, and I love it.

I use Furniture Tacks. Easy to paint what ever color you want and you can glue them or nail them on.

I'm just really anal and I like having a button that actually presses down.

Unfortunatly, I have no talent what-so-ever in lightsaber building, so I'm just gonna save up for ages, and ages, and ages, and ages, and buy a good one.
