For a second I almost went "I want to know too!"
Then I remembered that I already know:

:P lol


The only thing I can think of off the top of my head that I would change is the belt clip, since tCSS acually has the real belt clip.

Yeah, that's all based on a tube so yes both are possible.

yeah, but its more satisfying if you get the materials it lists and make it yourself. just get times led lens and holder, and his blade holder along with the adaptor for sink pipe. a switch, if you wanting sound, get his sound board. if not, then youll need a resistor. he sells them too.
oh, and the blade too.

I agree with Lan. This is a place for building sabers. If you want one built for you I refer you to: www.google.com and enter in lightsaber and any specifics you want.

Hey this is a place for building them but just thought I'd ask... Well how much do you think it would cost to make an obi-wan episode 1 stunt lightsaber?

It's hard to make a stunt saber resembling the Obiwan ep. 1 version because it involves so many parts. I reccomend starting with a solid aluminum tube and building on to it.

i found someplace some instruction for making a obiwan ep 1 saber. someplace on the net. try a google for obiwan saber and do somelookin. thats how i found it. took awhile, but i found it and it is more like the movie show saber, not the stunt one. but im sure you could make the mods there to do that, probably just less dodads on there. its known the stunt sabers ususally were stripped down a bit for ease of handling in the fight scenes.

It has an El Blade and is fully fightable, but you could easily install an Led as well, at the time I bought the parts Tim hadn't started carrying Led's yet.[:)]

Is there a machien out there that can mold the medel. Because I am interested in making a mace windu (All LIGHTSABER FROM EPISODE 1), adi gallia, ki-adi-mundi, obi-wan and various others. I'm starting a film so i need stunt saber or durable el/led.

You should look into getting resin sabers to paint. Making accurate EL/LED sabers to look like theirs will run you too much money/time/work. Afterall in the movies they used resin hilts with carbon fiber dueling rods a lot.

You could edit instead of making multiple posts?

Resin is like an extremely hard rubber or plastic. You make a mold yourself or from an existing piece. It is then poured in the mold to harden. It is cheap but work intensive to get right if you are going for accuracy.

Like all sabers you'd have to drill out or incorperate the holder into the mold. You'd just insert the blade in and have it held with a screw like all of us do.

Look around though. A lot of your questions could be answered this way. It seems you are jumping into this way too fast. I certainly hope this film you are doing doesn't have a time crunch because the chances of you learning how to do this or even buy one is not in your favor.

Especially in fan film getting the right hilts isn't so important. Just get some sink tubes and slap some blades on. Rotoscope the blades the right color and no one will care.
