I NEED A LIGHTSABER!!!

[mb72378]

I am wanting to make a Star Wars Fan Film. I have always wanted an Obi Wan Episode Style 1 saber. I cannot make ne because when it comes to building things I am an idiot. I do not need expensive LED blades or anything like that. I plan on adding in the effect in post production. I do not have hundreds of dollars to spend. I really need some help. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The saber needs to be able to hold some sort or blade like a lightweight aluminum rod like used in the movies, or a wooden dowlrod. But the rod must be able to be removed just in case it brakes during use. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Here is a reference picture of the style that I love just n case you arent sure what I am talking about.

You have three basic choices. You can either:

a) Invest in the Modular Hilt System. These kits simply screw together and since you are not interested in electronics, well, it would be an easy route.

b) You could contact Tim, he and his wife run this forum which is connected to the Custom Saber Shop. If he is too busy, then you

c) Contact UltraSaber. He offers excellent work at really good prices.

I would recommend a) since you could have the talent build their own if need be.. or your stunt coordinator can build and test them for weighting.

Another option would be to buy all the pieces you need from Tim, Ship them to one of the many sabersmiths here.. perhaps Do-Clo, or X-Wing? I'm sure you could work out something close to an arm or a leg. Basically you have options, but posting "Can someone do all the work for me" might not get you very far without a price attached.

<font size="3"><font color="blue">You DO realize that this is a forum for a store? And not exactly a public one? We are kind of here to encourage each other to buy parts and make sabers from the store this forum is attached to.

I hope you're not looking for hand outs.</font id="blue"></font id="size3">[xx(]

How would I get a hold of these people. I am new to the message boards.

[mb72378]

I would buy stuff. I would just like someone to point me in the right direction because this is the first time I have ever tried to do something like this and I have no idea what I am doing. So get off my back.

There is a link at the top of the page it says "Click here to enter store"... you then have access to an amazing shop.

Give it a try!

I am not asking for a hand out, what the heck is it with you guys. So much for helping me. And if you think this is how to get someone to buy something. Forget it. I was just getting ready to burchase over $100 worth of stuff and now I am thinking of taking my business elsewhere because of youy jerks.

[LDS_Trooper]

Excuse me, before you get all in a huff.. I offered you some valid points of interest. I also offered you names of people who could assist you...

What more could I offer you?

"Do you know how to use that thing?"
"Yes. The pointy end goes into the other man."

And the one thing that I asked after getting accused of wanting a handout was how I could ge a hold of these people. I am new to the whole "message board" thing and I do not know how they work.
