Light Saber

I had been watching some how-to's on YouTube about making a replica light saber from plumbing supplies. Unfortunately, Lowes did't have all of the parts I needed to build what I wanted. So I went the cheaper way and just bought some silver spray paint and made one out of an old toilet float valve I had and some old windshield wiper blades.

Here are the results (the last one is they type of toilet valve I used:

Ah another Jedi builds his first Lightsaber. Impressivel; your skills are complete.  :coolsmiley:

Kreeargh:
Beautifull work there :thumbsup:. How does it feel in the hand?

intermech:
Obe Wan has taught me well.

I was a little bit worried about the high profile of the windshield wiper blades, but as it turns out, they role one way or the other in your palm and take the stress off of the glue. I was concerned that the stress of wielding the hilt would pull the blades off, but the contact area sees virtually no stress. It does not feel too bad. It would be better if the pressure was spread more evenly across the hand. My next iteration will have stacked O-rings.

Tulwar:
The old photographic flash units that were used as the origional props are very collectable.
