MagLite blade holders please help

[oobie doobie kedoobie]

Well I'm really in no financial situation because I'm just a teenager with no job and I wasn't going to call it a custom lightsaber. I was going to call it a piece of junk that I got from walmart with a semi-good dueling blade because that's all I really want is something that lights up better than the ones you can buy and has the glowing color aura effect like a real lightsaber. Oh and I want to duel with it without breaking it. I'm here because I wanted to make a custom saber but then I just realized how much it really cost.

But thank you a lot Tyhm for your help and ideas. I think i'll get off now.

Well a cheap one from Walmart is NOT going to be any better than one you can buy (Force FX) or a Maglite.

Skottsaber is right.

If you change the blades then the blade will not break, but the plastic hilt will.

If you want a good, no sound, high quality metal/plastic hilt that everyone else can have too, then you should try UltraSabers.

If you want a high-quality, custom, metal saber then TCSS is your place.

Hey, when I started I didn't have a job either. I SAVED for 6 months to build my first saber and used some christmas money I got.

It is so worth it to put the extra effort into every area in this hobby. The saving, the planning, the building, and the sharing.

You might want to look at building a PVC lightsaber. They can turn out pretty nice. Just ask Darth Midian. They will only cost around $55 to build too.
Here is where you should start in the area of PVC.

Don't get discouraged, this is a great hobby with great people. What we don't like is apathy, which is what it looked like you had.
But Money is a real issue, the quote in my sig is the way I approach saber building. Sure I don't have the ability to make sabers like Fender, or Rhyen because I don't have a lathe, etc.
But I simply try to the best I can, with what I have, and where I am in life.

So be patient and wow us with a great lightsaber.

Alright thanks cc, I think for now i'm either going to make a PVC saber as you suggested or buy an Ultrasaber. But I'm looking at getting a job so i'll hopefully be able to create an awesome saber soon.

Yeah, thanks CardCollector...I get upset when newbies wander in here and get everyone yelling at them. I'm poor, we're in a recession, and this place is the Harley Davidson Owners Group of lightsabers; newbies wander in here hoping to make a fast and cheap dueling blade, or to light up something similar, and they meet with a lot of hostility. Because this isn't Ultrasabers.
