[Jedi-Loreen]

That Sith Archives site never did finish updating the Ep III sabers. :rolleyes:

[MoonDragn]

Hmmm the Plo Koon looks very similar to half of a darth maul.

[LeMoel]

ive planned to make one 4 a while just havent had a chance

[Obi-Dar Ke-Gnomie]

It shouldn't be too hard for a machinist to do. The trickiest bit would be the pommel.

[Madcow]

Parks sells a radiator that could be used for the pommel.

Hi guys I'm new here, i've been looking for a pommel just like that for my saber project that I'm starting. So I must ask what is this "parks" that you speak of? Thanks and sorry if it's a Noob question.

[jawajedi]

Thank you! Thats pretty much what I'm looking for! Just about everything else I've been able to find here in the store.

[Sairon]

A little off topic, but parks has finally has stared on led sabers, to bad they are led strips.:(

[Hasid Lafre]

Atleast they are not EL anymore.

Just a custom sculpted Hardware version that I made and sold.

[Lord Maul]

You make some of (if not the) best hardware sabers out there psab. I don't know how you can do it :cool:

[psab keel]

Thanks!

Plo koon's lightsaber is a "Clan" lightsaber. Meaning, many jedi carry THAT style of lightsaber, Meaning, that some people should have constructed some of those types of lightsabers, meaning, they should be relativley easy to find as far as parts. http://www.nocturnearmory.com/MovieSabers/moviesabers2.html Take a look at Kit Fisto's.

[Hasid Lafre]

Actually only few members have that saber and they were members of the jedi council.

[mmafighter]

You're right sid.... I should have caught that. I didnt mean to use the word "many".;)

[LeMoel]

nocture armory makes some of the best replicas ever! soo good

[Hasid Lafre]

I wouldent say best but they make good looking hilts.

[LeMoel]

who do you think makes the best?

[Lord Preston]

who do you think makes the best?

You can't just say that only ONE person/company makes the best sabers.

[Darth_DevilGuy]

that's like asking who paints the best paintings, it's a valid question but it has no quantifiable answer...

[LeMoel]

no i meant best replica sabers

[LeMoel]

anyways darth chaos i thought you might want to see this.. I did a little fooling around on my lathe today and decided to attempt to make a plo koon Hilt, it came out alright. good for my first attempt at a plo koon.

its not finished yet as you will see .. im probly going to finish it tommorrow, anyways enjoy

its a tad hard to see cause its not painted or anything yet

make sure you post ur progress peace out

[Master Dru-Er]

Well I guess we have Tim, Madcow, Acerocket, ect...
Lathes are REALLY expensive! (last time I checked anyways!) Maybe on craigslist or something... But anyway... really nice saber!

[LeMoel]

thank you, but im probly going to do another one,didnt come out exactly how i wanted it to...

now lathes in general are expensive. Especially in Canada because the companies in my area buys them from the states so theres like a double fee.Luckly i grew up right on the BC/Washington st border so i just drove down to Spokane which was like an 1 and a half hr drive which isnt bad at all.

The only problem i ran into is almost running out of gas because the gas station i usually go to wasn't to happy about Canada not joining the war in Iraq so there was a big sign saying "we dont not serve CANADIANS. and all i had was Canadian money so haha couldnt really sneak around that and almost ran out of gas..

there are mini lathes that are cheaper altenatives and perfect for saber making and other things of that size

heres where i got mine
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=93799

also got my Mill from there also
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=47158


this company is the best ive ever dealt with heres so examples
- 1year replacement warranty
-free parts for one year from the company
-they actually sent me a brand new one to Canada for free! just cause mine got slightly damaged in shipping.

-fair prices, always having sales,great customer service

NOTE: No matter if you have a lathe or not remember that tim uses a CNC lathe so he most likely the most accurate for custom pieces and such. Not to knock other lathers at all im just saying that my experience still needs to come along way...
