Mag-Lite Saber - Tree Shaker

[redeyejedi]

Here is my Mag-lite saber. Named it Tree Shaker, because when I got back from the store with the Mag-lite there was a large black bear blocking my driveway. It charged the car then went up to a tree, stood on its hind legs, and slapped the tree with both its front paws digging its claws into the bark, and hissed. Pretty cool.

Features:
Yellow & Green Color disk(makes a nice yellow-green color like the sabers in the Tales of the Jedi comics)
Titanium Mag-lite
TCSS Mag-lite Blade Holder
D-Ring
Custom Leather Grip

that is really nice looking... cant tell it was a mag light good job man

Very nicely done. Love the leather grip.

I really want to build a maglite stunt saber too. Something real basic that can take a little use and abuse. I'm actually working on a very similar design myself along those lines.

Thanks for the motivation.

Never seen one so clean. Or at all really, mabe one. but this is nice!

Thanks guys for the awesome reply's! Glad you like my build. The mag-lites make great dueling sabers, but need a little modification to keep the batteries from jiggling around in the handle when you duel and the lens holder needs to be secured to get the light to focus properly. They are tough and have a nice heft to them.

I know its a long shot cuz its an old thread. But any way i can get photos of how you did the light and lens? Tha k you and your build looks amazing..

Wow. I have one that looks very similar, but I used a rubber grip from a worklight as the grip. I really like the leather grip you put on this and the o rings make a nice accent. I have an identical D ring on mine as well. There is only so much you can do with these, but this is really nice. Would love to see it lit up.

That's a nice looking saber. I have a maglite saber as well and was wondering if your maglite is the model that came with a led or did you convert it? Also did you use a lens from the shop or just the blade holder? If you did use a lens can you link the one that you used?

[Ronny Rection]

Ditto, CCarter... what did you do for illumination and the lens?

I understand its a stunt saber, but have you put any thought into putting a soundboard into it? I've got a few old maglites hanging around, just begging to be repurposed.
