It looks amazing... Your hard work has certainly paid off ;)

Ah I see. In my first build, I have the same batteries with a 1000 mA buckpuck on a blue rebel star. It works great and is much brighter than my MR Anakin.

Hi all... I've been inactive for a while, not because of disinterest but mainly due to school/work/being broke. I'm ready to start a new build, and would greatly appreciate any and all input. This...

Live with it for a few weeks first and then think of a name

I know... I wanted it to be around the same dimensions as my Cheness "Ayame" katana. And you know what they say... It's not about size it's how you use it ;)

So I finally finished! I couldn't figure out where to put the accent LED so I just attached it to the bottom of the battery holder. The hilt is 11 1/2", blade is 26" long, 1" OD thinwalled trans...

So I'm almost done... I made bunny ears, drilled the hole for the switch, drilled and tapped the hole for the retention screw. I made a pommel insert out of a slotted spoon from IKEA, soldered...

Thanks I'll post pics once it's done

That is a beautiful saber... I'm speachless

Wow that is nice! What did you use for the pommel?

So I just hooked it directly up to the battery pack and it lit up just fine...

Here it is:

The bag says "Built in resistor... Forward (supply) voltage: 12.0 typ, 16.0 max. Forward ( supply) current: 12mA typ.,...

So the setup I'm doing is 4xAAA, Rebel Blue, 1000mA buckpuck, SPST switch and an accent LED from radio shack that has a built in resistor. Any suggestions?

It's a nice design... Are you planning to duel with it?

It looks like it was a very nice ceremony and I like the costumes (:

I would go... If I lived in England

Yeah tell us where you got it so others can avoid it. Also, why did you use 80 grit? I think 220 or 400 would be better.

Very nice!

I have the Vader and according to the video in this thread it's too wide to fit in a 1.25" tube:

Thanks for the input... I think I will go with the shorter shround and bunny ears.

Thanks! I originally wanted something sleek but the pommel kind of messes that up, and I can't change it. So I'm going to go for a more industrial look... I'm adding more screws and probably going...

The emitter is part of the sink tube... I sanded all the chrome off that end. I think I'm going to make my own blade holder, using what pieces I have left over and a lux heatsink. I'm trying to do...

Sorry... resized.

It looks like the sound board in the 2010s are too wide to fit in the 1.25" tube so I'm going to look at some other options...

So after seeing demonstrations by the NY Jedi Association and PA Jedi at Wizard-con, I realized that my childhood fantasy of owning my own lightsaber could be made a reality ;).
