You can sometimes get decent sized scraps from ebay, Tandy or other leather sellers too. Tandy sells upholstery leather remnant bags but they also have it by the square foot on their website. Most of...

You're going to basically want something garment or upholstery weight, because even a lot of chrome tanned you can get from Tandy will probably be too thick. One cheap way to get the leather you need...

Thanks. I must have missed where he said that.

Just out of curiosity, does the nice US 2.0 with battery pack and speaker combo fit inside?

Greetings! It's not exactly the same thing, but I have several pieces of stainless SCA armor that I wanted to have a brushed look to match my helmet so I sanded them myself. You can use a very fine...

This is what it looks like:

You can find them for sale all over the web, at Radio Shack sometimes, ebay, etc. I don't think it's...

Another cheap source of armor making plastic would be the plastic barrels that industrial soap for carwashes and whatnot comes in or plastic 55 gallon pickle barrels. A lot of the time you can get...

The 616 is I believe, the 'Joe Jedi' build your own lightsaber kit soundcard.

If I'm not mistaken (so correct me if I'm misunderstanding, guys) most people take a slim dowel or something similar that will fit inside the tube and they wrap the diffuser around it to deliver it...

Well, I've been doing a lot of sketching and math to make sure everything is going to fit, and I believe now with those measurements they should. The hilts I'm going to be making are 10 to 12" in...

Thanks guys. I am trying to have the design pretty much planned out before I actually order anything. I don't want to get parts and have the guts not fit. :)

I realized yesterday there may be a flaw in the design I was planning on going with. Will a 4AAA battery pack and MR sound board be able to fit inside the v cut ribbed extension piece? I realize it's...

My favorite is by far the Zen font. It's low key but still classic sounding like the movie sabers.

Just wondering if you guys can machine standard switch holes in the grooved, v cut extensions just like the hole that comes in the normal hilt pieces.

Here's a few sketches I've worked up so far for jedi and sith sabers. I'm going to be making a jedi saber for myself and a sith saber for my husband. I've worked on a few digital versions but they...

Thanks. I'm still drawing up designs so I have no idea what I'm going to go with in the end now. >_<

I did when I first started this whole saber building odyssey. :cool:

I saw someone use it for a grip though and I really like the way it turned out. :P

Makes sense. I know the last batch sold out super quick though I'd hate to miss out on the five minute buying window. :P

Just wondering where people are getting their industrial shrink tube and what size/thickness would be best for wrapping electronic boards or hilts and whatnot.

Any idea if Erv has ever thought of doing a preorder type thing?

No, you don't make holes in the blade itself.

The blade holder does not come with a thumbscrew, or a hole for it. You have to buy a thumbscrew and drill and tap the hole for it in the blade...

They're really elegant. Nice work guys!

I guess I am just still confused as to where all the wires end up. >_< I'm a very visual person, but I am sure there's some guts views of previously done sabers so I'll take another look through the...

I was wondering where the image may have gone to originally in this thread. I've read through the entirety of the recharge port wiring tutorial but am still not entirely getting how to wire it up....
