    did you is that copper wire around at the top?

    Yah, I originally bought 25 feet of it to use as the grip, but decided I liked it better wound around the top.

    I like it. I like how metallic it is...it shines like chrome, not alluminum or plated copper.

    VERY NICE.

    Now, all it needs are a few extra bobbles and trinkets, and your skills will be complete. :D

    Thanks! :D
    I am a "less is more" type of person. So I am not sure how many more do-dads I'll add. Although I do have an idea...

    Wow mpfjr! Nice web page! That computer mod is pretty cool! I am thinking of adding lighting to my case to give it a cool look.

    Very cool, but it is very similar to one used in my second film ?Confrontation?. We obviously have the same tastes. ;)

    very nice, Ive been working on my for a quite some time, only problem is I need mine to have a 3/4 copper tube running throughut it so i can hold a piece of bamboo
    All i need to finish it is a bit of chrome and black paint, one more dremeled piece, and i gotta get the blowtorch out to solder most of it together
    hehe oddly enough theres a rather large bamboo plant in front of my house, an endless supply of saber props :)

    ...so i can hold a piece of bamboo ...

    Yah, I was planning on using a bamboo practice sword. I have two I bought on e-bay and the handles fit nice in the 1" 1/4 tube. Problem is that the handles are two long and too difficult to attach inside the light saber without risk of it flying out.

    So I'm reverting back to the PVC/Dowel method. :(

    Thanks, although I've been neglecting it lately. Just so much time in a day you know?

    mpfjr I would love to e-mail you a picture ?but? the film is just starting production and if you were to see the lightsaber it would give away most of the film. :( The movie is about the lightsaber, and it has some of the same design characteristics that are in yours. ?Confrontation? is being made with the help of the Sacramento Fan Force Group. Everyone is putting a tremendous amount of hard work into this film and Lord_Darth_Vader (who is a master lightsaber maker) is working very hard on the star of the film ?the Lightsaber?. I would be doing a great disservice to everyone ells on the film and spoil the elements of the movie if the pictures were shown. I hope you understand. :)
