PVC Saber 'Memnoch'

**RevengeoftheSeth** · 08-19-2010, 09:06 PM

After finishing my first MHS-style saber, I really wanted to try my hand at PVC. I had a lot of inspiration from different sabersmiths here in the forums, such as Jay-Gon, Darth Midian and HAVOK. This saber took me about a week from start to finish. I fully intend to put in a Red Rebel Star and the 2010 Hasbro Sound Board. The electronics have not been ordered, as you can see I haven't even drilled the switch hole, yet. The switch will go on the black overlay just below the blade screw.

Materials Used:
1", 1.25", 1.5" PVC plumbing pipe (the 40-Graded type)
1" PVC plumbing end cap
3x Rounded 8-32 Screws
1x Wood Screw with 8-32 inner threading (thanks, Jay-Gon)

Tools Used:
Black and Decker RTX 3-Speed Rotary Tool
Hacksaw
Black and Decker 14.4V Cordless Drill
Valspar Plastic Paints in Black, Red and Clear Coat
220-Grit Sandpaper

No other tools (drill press, table saw, etc) were used in the production of this hilt.

Its probably too late, but the roundedness of the emitter contrasts your sithlike hilt, I would suggest redremeling it to act as a spine. So have the same basic shape but have the bottom part come to a point. It would look much more sithlike. But other than that the dremelwork is amazing and it is a great looking saber, can't wait to see it finished.

I think you could have used some better looking screws, but other than that, I like it.

Good job! I'm not sure that suggestion makes it any more or less sith but still not a bad idea.

Apparently this year stylized PVC sabers and elaborate crystal chambers are in.
