Making my CW Luminara sink tube saber work....help needed

[rebelgirl]

I have finished making a CW Luminara saber, from a sink tube. Actually, my dad gave me a urinal tube, so the size maybe a little different than a normal tube.
I know I need a power supply, switch, LED and stuff that makes it work, blade and blade holder and little screws as I don't want to have a big visible thumb screw.

But I don't know how to start..............

I figured out how to build the hilt...with a little help But have no real clue about the electronics.....

Thanks for any advise.

Read through those, they're a good tutorial for building a basic saber. Some of the specific parts listed may be a bit out of date, but the instructions are still pretty much spot on.

Just a heads up since you are new, it will literally take you weeks worth of reading to fully grasp how everything works and exactly what you need to do to acomplish what you want to build. So, don't get discouraged, read alot, use the search, and use google. Hang in there till its done, show us your progress. If you get hung up on something just ask for help, but try to find the answers on your own first, because almost any question has already been answered here somewhere. Do you have a picture of your hilt by the way?

I figured I would start by buying a longer blade...I have a saber already and wanted a longer blade. However I'm now looking for a part to attach the blade to the sink tube and I'm not seeing any for 1 inch tubes. Am I looking in the wrong place? I looked under Sink Tubes and Misc

Size matters in the saber world. You made it from a 1" tube? Some basic information that we will need to be able to help you is: Internal Diameter of the tube, external diameter of the tube and overall length of the tube.

@FJK- not if she used a 1" OD tube.

OK, I missed that. My bad.

ID seems to be around 1 1/4 in of the sink tube.

The OD of the saber blade I have is 1 in

Hilt so far looks like this....

Her saber looks very much like a Maul saber...with the blade coming out the opposite side his does.

OK, the links don't work, does the blade currently fit inside your sink tube with room to spare?

The attachments aren't working for me. You should sign up for a Photobucket.com account. It's free, and is a great way to share all of those awesome pics you're going to take of all the sabers you're going to build
