    Default The PVC Saber I built for DJ

    DJ asked me to build him a custom pvc saber, this is what I came up with. He just asked me to paint it gloss green and black, with a p4 green led and a green AV switch. The main body is 1" pvc. The grips and 1st layer of shroud is 1 1/4" pvc. The outer layer of shroud is an 1 1/2" pvc. It has a p4 green led, a resistor, green ring AV switch, 4 AAA batteries, and the new translucent white 1" thin walled blade with 6' of cellophane in it. To get the AV switch to fit into the 1" pvc I had to stack a piece of the 1 1/4" and
    1 1/2" pvc along with the AV switch bezel. Instant pvc switch box.

    Very cool looking saber. If the Green Lantern had a lightsaber I suspect it would look something like that.

    As always, very nice work. This pushes PVC sabers to the limit. I wonder if you could fit a new 2010 board in there?

    Thank you everybody for the positive feedback. I'm really happy with the way this saber turned out. This has to be my favorite design to date. DJ, thank you very much. Psab, I didn't even think of The Green Lantern, that's pretty cool I can totally see it.

    Green Lantern was the FIRST thing I thought when I saw this.

    As everyone else has said, awesome, awesome job.
