Basic Saber Build list of parts

[Greenie]

Everything you need to know is available here on the forums. Read the threads, check out the gallery, and make use of the MHS builder (if you haven't already). Most definitely watch Madcow's tutorial videos......he will show you the way

Hello, I'm looking at a hard saber build, well not really a saber, I want to make 2 arnis/escrama sticks. They are 24" long each including the hilt and looking at 3/4" thinkness at the most. Problem is finding blades, LED/electronics, battery holder, etc...that will fit. I want full blown sound/clash and 70% of the hilt is glowing also like Starkiller's Lightsabers (clone). http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Starkiller's_lightsabers Anyone with ideas?

Welcome to the forums. That maybe a challenge too far, 3/4" will not be big enough to fit the various electronics required
You may need to check out the dimensions of parts and then find a hilt to fit around whatever you need
The best of luck to you and MTFBWY

If you goto Step 3

Step 3:

Choose a Hilt (style 1 thru 4) from this link--->http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Ce...tions-C33.aspx

These have pre-drilled switch holes and female threads at both ends. It is the "handle of your saber". Don't get bogged down with chokes or extentions or any of that crap! We are going SIMPLE here!

All of the Hilt has options for style of holes to drill for specific switch. Which option would you pick?

[Silver Serpent]

Get the hole type that matches the switch you want. If you're going for a 16mm AV switch, you can get the 16mm or 16mm recessed hole.

Hi everyone, I've been searching around in the past few days.
I'm really excited to started building something, but on the shop there no hilt bodies available, is this normal? Is there any way I can get started?

This hobby has become very popular lately. Parts are selling as fast as they can be made. I would suggest you make a definitive list for your build, then buy parts as and when they're available
Yes. I know what you're gonna say about international shipping, but unfortunately we're all in the same boat. Keep checking the store and the forum for stock updates and don't let these little set backs put you off. It's great fun to build your own saber but it takes patience
