Shop under the LED section or the EL section not both.
I do not currently have any blade holders or kits for LED sabers but I will within a week.

"The coolest looking double bladed lightsaber" isn't going to be cheap if that's what you really mean. Otherwise it costs around $100 each saber maybe less if you go no frills and just want them to light up. Add all the components in your cart. Just because they are in there doesn't mean you need to buy them right away.[;)]

We can't give you a list and that seems a hard concept to grasp for people just coming here. Read the tutorials and if you understand the process of building one then the list should be easy to come up with yourself.

You don't need two sound modules. Unless you want double the sound.[:p]

You'll need 2 battery holders. 12V is enough for one blade but for two blades you'll need a second one. It's going to be a battery hog.[:p]

You will need two thumbscrews. Those hold the blades in. You don't want them flying out do you?

<hr noshade size="1">
Now we'll run into an issue. You'll need two inverters (these make the EL light up) because one inverter can't power both. The easiest way will be to use a single SPDT momentary. (Read the EL sound thread to figure out why)

You will need two mono plugs. These are what the blades hookup to inside.

We CAN spoon feed this to you but if you read it'd save many more posts when you don't know how to put it together. You'll come posting not understanding how to wire it because we told you the parts you need without you understanding why you need them.

I for one will not spoon feed this to you again. GO READ.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that there are two parts you will need to buy seperatly from here to get the sound working properly but you'll have to read the EL sound thread to figure it out.[:p]

Hint: Go to the Saber Sound forum. It's up there near the Misc Topics Forum. You've posted there so I know you can get there.[;)]

BTW, thanks for being cool.[8D] Sometimes people get nasty when we tell them to read.

well, may i say, welcome to the forum then, and i wish you well in your saber buiding. we all start someplace. mine were simple sinkpipe replicas of a graflex, each one i made i got better, thats how we learn, from experience and a lil helpful info along the way, thats why i really like this forum, so much knowledge here, if you added it all up, it would be older than yoda. lol

you give up to easily. nothing is worth trying unless its challenging. best way i see to make a DBL blade saber is use 2 of tims mhs hilt and join the bottoms togehter by a bolt or something. thats a start.

You just started! It's not too hard, it took me 3 months to get my first saber right, and even then..... Take time to look at what you need, think things through, draw pics and visualise then problem solve.

If you build 2 seperate sink tube hilts, you can just connect it with the double blade connector. Dunno if LED might be less hastle to do on this one?

Less talk, more action........

Never give up! Never Surrender!
... Wow, when I satrt quoting bad Tim Allen movies, we've got problems.

The best thing to do is to draw/sketch/doodle it out. See what you have to have, where you should place it, etc. It all depends on how complex you want it to be, how much money you're willing to spend and how much time/effort/blood/sweat/tears you're willing to put into it.

I'd be glad to help you in what little ways I can, but the most important thing is to not let go of your dream. Starting small might be a good idea, though. ^^;

Dude, don't give it up. I have been planning on doing a Knights of the Old Republic Bastila double-saber for a couple years now, and it's going to be a while before I get to it as well since I am just doing this a little as I can. I have been thinking through so many ways to make a really strong double hilt that my wife has said one night I was talking about it in my sleep. With the knowledge and support of the folks on this forum I reckon there really isn't anything that can't be done, just have patience and plan out what you want and it will come.

If you've seen my pile of Mistake tubes youd probably tell me i shoud have quit. LOL A great idea for building; is somthing i do on custom bike tanks; is to use 2inch auto masking tape on your tube and draw on it with a sharpy where you want to mount thins and shade in cut ou areas then BOOM you got a instant pattern. You won't waste a dime that way. If you don't like it peel and retape. Another building idea (tellin all my secrets lol) use an xacto blade for sharp lines. Then (here he goes with the sand blaster again) pull off the desiable are abd leave the tape on the rest and glass bead; pull off the tape and instant etced designs. It's only art if you call it art. LOL Don't get frustrated having fun thats for youe 9-5

987654321a tenacity is the key. I started working on my first saber in September last year, and while life gets in the way of hobbies and all that i only just got a blade about 2 weeks ago. I am still toying around with diffusers and such and i have several ideas i want to try. So going on 6 months and if my wife knew how much money... well ill just have to lay low for a while before i start on the double saber that has been brewing in my brain. Anyway i suppose the point is to keep thinking, and playing things out in your head and try what you can when you can with the resources you have available. Stick to it, it will make the project more fulfilling when you finish.
Cheers

The one you are talking about is a concept sketch. The blades were atached on either side of a gauntlet. Much more duelable than trying to one hand that little pic he made with the text.
