I wasn't planing on doing a white one, but now that I've broken the dome on my amber one, I'll be ordering a replacement, so I might just get one of each. I'm not sure how I broke it, I must've put the tubing cutters down on top of it by mistake.
I finished up two more: These two are longer than the rest for bigger hands and will have longer blades:

I still need to add the grip marks to these two.
The above pics were taken using blades from my MHS/hardware sabers. All of the blades I made for the pvc sabers so far have a single wrap of Corbin's film and about 4.5 feet of cellophane, for the "Dual-Core Blade Diffuser" look that I like.
I finished the last one that I parts for:

This one is the last of the curved hilts I have, and uses an Amber Lux I Star. The blade is borrowed from one of the other hilts, as I don't have any more made yet. Need some more parts from the store....
And a group shot of the finished sabers:

Haha, that's great. It's like an armory of lightsabers...for jedi troopers or something, when they lose their sabers in battle and don't have time to build a new one before the next fight begins.
Boy, you could decorate your house for Christmas with all those sabers!
I have one more to add to the completed list:

It also seperates into two by unscrewing the coupler (the batteries have a tendency to fall out, though):

a couple form fitting ear plugs can help on the battery problem there, good looking double by the way
Good idea there SuperT. If that doesn't work, I was thinking maybe some really big cotton balls.
Hey jay-gonn. What size drill bit do you use when you drill into your pvc pipes (preferably for 6-32 screws)? Do you still use the one paired with it on the store site? Or a smaller size?
