Scratch built Darth Maul 1:1 Lightsaber with 2x10W LED's
Just wanted to show you guys my first saber, made for my Darth Maul costume:
It features a petit cruton controlling sound and light effects, and a LED Engin LZ4 10W in each end (Red colour only)
A video of the milling:
Shows the 4 different sections of the hilt.
The hilt finished, before buttons and painting.

Pretty happy with the result

That's an impressive level of work you did there. Good job!
We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

This is your first saber? Wow! Very high quality work. Got any pics with the blades lit?
Thanks! This is my first, yes. I have all the right tools at my disposal, so that makes it a lot easier to create an high end saber as this one.Originally Posted by joshm74
None of the pictures in my first post are photoshopped to add light to the blades. Neither is this picture:
