no, it's a part of a drain, and the heat sink from a hair dryer

the pictures dont do my weapon justice. stupid webcams *grumble*

 

nice work aero-! I just dug up my Parks saber from a box because I recently moved. It's now sitting on my tv!

 

Nice work, aero!

And to think, you made that yourself, and I paid Parks Sabers $200+ for mine!

 

no, it's a part of a drain, and the heat sink from a hair dryer

Ah, I see. Very nice work!

Lookin good man, scratch built sabers are one of the most fun things you can do in the SW universe. And even more valuable that your toys cuse you built it.

Oh and I dig the thread title, hehehe.


Here is the scratch built saber I made for an online contest. The contest was to build it from only parts found at a Dollar Store:

Dollar store parts only, eh?? Awesome work Kenny!!

Impressive, most impressive!

 

wow man, are you sure all those parts came from the dollar store? the on'es 'round these parts have crud for selection

 

Merced has 3 different Dollar Stores within a mile or so of each other. And yes all the parts on that saber came from one of those stores. Check the link again as I had to save all my reciepts and scan them for the contest that saber was in.

I actually took the dollar store saber with me to C3 and spoke about it on a panel, "building SW props at home."

 

wow, last ime I clicked that link I never got to the bottom of the page... that's insane man! very hard to beleive... but it's all right there

 

Merced has 3 different Dollar Stores within a mile or so of each other. And yes all the parts on that saber came from one of those stores.

Isnt that due to the fact that Mercedians cant afford anything else??!! Property Values eating up all the income in this town!!

 

amen to that! i bought my home in september and it's already jumped in value close to 60 grand!

man, that dollar store saber owns so much. i'm almost tempted to beg you to make me one if i bought you the material haha
