lightsaber craftsman

Here's the deal. I grew up on Star Wars and now I want my kids to enjoy every aspect. Recently I bought the entire vintage figure collection piece by piece. Now I feel the need to keep them inline with a lightsaber. Anyway I am looking for some advice on where to have a sharp looking/quality saber made. I have been surfing the net & ebay with a little knowledge, but it is much more complicated than I had anticipated. What I am looking for: traditional solid hilt that has some weight to it with an evenly bright blade that is durable. Also sound. All at a reasonable price. I've looked at EL, luxeon, graflex, Parks just to name a few terms. I am lost and would like some direction please advise !!

or you could have one machined at your local metal shop.
you just need to buy some T-6061 aluminum with a half-inch hole in down the center.

Then you can put in blades to fight with.
