I figured I would go ahead and post in here and say hello to everyone. I just recently discovered the lightsaber building scene so I'm still very uneducated when it comes to all the different bells and whistles involved in building. Hopefully I can find all the answers to my questions without showing too much of my ignorance.
A few years ago I found a website that had build plans for lightsabers. I started with a Darth Vader replica, all from plumbing pipes and stuff I came across in Lowes. Now, years later, I decided to design my own and undertook the project of building it just 2 weeks ago. Now it's almost completed (I will post pics after it's done to see what people think) and it's only just wet my appetite for what I've already seen that is out there.
One question I do have is where do you find parts like the ones Slothfurnace used on his Obi-wan build? Particularly the emitter. I mean I totally understand those can't be generic parts but I'm having a hard time finding anything like those pieces he has.
Eventually it's my goal to make an even better version of my design with a blade and sounds and such, but then also I want to build a replica of each saber, and I mean build them. If I'm going to spend any money on this stuff the only way to justify it in my book is if I put everything together with my own hands.
A lengthy introduction I know, but hopefully everyone reading this can understand where I've been, where I am, and where I plan to go.
Cheers,
Kairu
