ooh, Spiffy!
I went looking for parts tonight but being the highly uninformed person concerning all things construction I am, I only managed to find a pipe, a shower head and one kind of screws and some funky looking brass tubular thing.
I"m thinking I'm gonna need tons of help!!

No problem, Anwelei. I've built several sabers using everything from the piping used in the most recent online tutorials, to rifle scopes, to flashlights.
I'm also going to bring my blaster prop (a work-in-progress).

Several people had mentioned going Saturday, 30 march as a day to get together for that. We can gather at my place if we want, I don't care about the time. I'm in between 1 lowes and 3 home depots.

I have found that Home Depot and Ace Hardware are the best for finding everything you need to build any of the sabers from bigyellowbox.com. Those two also have the best costumer service (at least in my area.) I am all up for a mass shopping trip (for saber parts and fabrics.) on the 30th. So lets nail down a time and a meeting place. However be prepared to spend at least 6 hours on this treasure hunt.

Brother Mobius ask for this link http://www.amazing1.com/plasma.htm
They are plasma blades that are either sold as lightsaber units or as emitter units that you can drop into your own home made lightsabers. The details are in the page and they have a couple of good demo videos for download to show how they work.
And if we are talking for about 6 hours for parts gathering then I suggest we gather wherever at noon at the latest. I'm still putting up my place as a gathering point if we want and I can pick you up Anwelei if you need it unless somebody closer to you wants to. Where do you live ???

Cool. Thanks, Void. Unfortunately, their website says the blades are not good for fighting. I'll let poeple know if I find one that is.

I can get you Anwelei since I'm at price and guadalupe, but Sideshow is a mile and a half from you roughly, may want to try and coordinate with him.

As a followup, I checked on the Larbel Lightsabers, and it's actually Lightech Industries www.lightechindustries.com that sells the blades. $125-$135, depending on color. Plus Lightech sells their own sabers and parts, as well.

Woo Hoo!. I just got off the phone with Lighttech. I ordered my red saber blade kit. It's gonna be SWEET! It ended up costing $175 for the blade and an adapter designed to fit it to my hilt. If I can get the cash, I might order 2 more, to complete my double-bladed saber, too.
On a side note, if we can get several peolple to commit to a group purchase, we can get a discount. The guy at Lighttech said he'd have to discuss the exact amount with his partner, but it would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-15%.
