Thread: Mag-Lite Saber - Tree Shaker

    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.

    I found some o rings the size of the inside diameter of the lens housing inside the blade holder. I had one colored filter and it does rattle around inside and it makes the beam in the blade uneven and dull if it isn't sitting properly. I took one of these o rings and I sandwiched it between the blade holder and the colored filter to force the colored filter down onto the lens. It helped a lot. It is thin enough it doesn't get in the way of the light from the LED, either. You definitely need something, though.

    Interesting idea to use O-rings around the lens holder. Thanks for the comments every body. I appreciate it.

    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?

    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.

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..

    Can I get a link to the exact model of mag light for the D Cell from somebody?
