This was my first custom light saber.
I did a lot of looking around for inspiration. I wanted to keep my design simple but still end up with something really cool.
Some of the sabers I found that I loved the most were LDM's A'Sharad Hett Sabers, and I've always liked the idea of a Tusken Raider Jedi.
I used the sink pipe elbow because it reminded me of the bend in the gaffi stick.
I used a Hasbro Ultimate FX board and a green p4.
One of the 2 watt bass speakers and a rumble motor out of an old ps2 controller (which ended up being a bit overkill).
I wrapped it in suede and it ended up getting tighter than I ever thought I would be able to get it.
I did the weathering with several layers of ink and clear coat.
I made a set of beads for it that I haven't gotten pictures of yet. I'll try to get a pic of it and a pic of the crystal chamber lit up.
Hope you like it; I'd love to hear what you think.
