My first lightsaber (unfinished)(image heavy 56k beware)

[valeon]

This is my first attempt at making a lightsaber. Still waiting for my electronics and blade from the store so I'll update pics when I'm done.
I finally decided to take the dremel to it.

Very Dark Forces style. I like it, in a cobbled-together kinda way.
Can't wait to see it Lux'ed up!

[valeon]

Yeah, I have alot to add to it, but Im waiting till I get my electronics in before I do any more additions cosmetically. :D
Also, because of my limited experience with this, it's gonna be an EL blade. Sorry guys didn't know any better when I ordered.

[Hasid Lafre]

Well you could alwase take the el stuff and setup it up for a display kinda thing.

:P

J/K...Good luck

[valeon]

I was thinkin about makin this one just display hehe, or make it a lamp lol. My next endeavor should look cooler, and it'll be LuxIII.

Love the mini-shackle for the belt hanging hook. Great idea.

[Jetsi]

Nice cuts for a first-timer :lol: . I hope mine look that clean when I do my first saber.

[Hasid Lafre]

Is that a wire connection block in the hilt?

[valeon]

Why yes...yes it is. Hehehe.

[Hasid Lafre]

I knew it!

[Jedi-Loreen]

I recognized the terminal strip right away. I figured most everyone would, so I didn't mention it. :P

[Hasid Lafre]

Took me a bit to remember what it was.

[Jay-gon Jinn]

That's a very nice use of hardware store parts! It looks good!

[valeon]

Thanks Jay. Im so proud of this thing.

[Barmic Rin]

I'd be abit flashy with the EL & maybe run abit through the terminal blocks, that could really work!

[valeon]

I was thinking of taking short pieces of blue and red wire along the sides ,and doing sort of a weave pattern. We'll see what happens.

[Hasid Lafre]

That might be pritty cool.

[valeon]

Just got all my EL parts in today. I'm gonna start putting everything together a little later. I'll post pics in about 3-4 hours or less. I have things to do. lol
