    I'm sorry, everytime I look at the title of this thread I get dirty thoughts about the measurments of Obi-wan's saber... [face_devil]

    *sigh*

    I need to get my mind out of the gutter... ;)

    Just had to let you guys know. :)

    And did you find the info you needed?

    Shame on you, JGoC! It's all that cold air up there!

    I once had a machine shop quote the Obi EP I saber. It was around $5000. Of course that was CNC Lathe/Milling Machine and each one after that would only cost about $20. But the programming to accomplish it was gonna be pricey!

    Hope to see pics of it when you are done with it. How are you going to go about it? Lathe & Mill combo? CNC?

    I really would like one of these. Hard to find even on eBay anymore.

    I'm going to lathe it and mill the rest. It's a pretty simple design. I might have to right a program for the cnc for the slots though.

    I wouldn't call that saber a simple design - there are quite a few intricate designs in that saber

    If you can get your hands on 1 before you try to make 1 you will see that it is actually quite complicated. I have a Larbel and let me say - this thing is awesome.

    Just my opinion

    Hey, when you're finished with it, please post some pics... I'm using the same blueprint as reference for a hardware saber. I've been dragging my feet around trying to find a gear that would work for the middle of the pommel. Oh well, I'll find something. Good luck!

    I will post pictures as soon as I am done with it. It won't be too difficult to build this thing. I may cnc some of it. I don't know yet.
