Saber Construction Help

[toadayoda]

Hi guys,
I wanted to know what is the cheapest way to construct a lightsaber with blade and all. I am looking to spend about $60. I wanted to go with an LED blade with green color, about 40' in length. Also, can you tell me after I know what to buy, how to construct it? Thanks.

$60 bucks?

You are in the wrong house.

60$ i really dont think that is going to happen. If this is your first saber you should do the mhs builder. you will get everything you need to make a saber for like 90 dollars. and that price is based on the cheapest items. All those parts are threaded so they are real easy to put together.

60? Hmmm...Ultra has some nice luxeon sabers, they are made of PVC (black) check there...

*looks up*

Hmm...
Unless I'm mistaken, this is TIM'S SHOP!!!!
lol.

I edited it because Nightwing's correct. He said make anyway.

PVC is just about your only route. That could go under that. If you ordered the main stuff from here that'd be (about): $20 for blade parts, $10 for the LED, $10 for heatsink and lenses. With shipping that's $50 right there for just some uber-basic stuff. It'd be a little bit more for switch and battery holder... $60 is a pretty damn small mark to hit.

Ultra can only do that because he sells dozens of them in the course of weeks.

60 is possible, just get the blade parts separate and make it on your own, a sink tube, and the basic electronics package.

ok well maybe its 10 bucks more but its possible

i know but just cough up 20 bucks more and you will have a simple saber. why not go with the mhs builder, and make a saber and pay the money you have to pay.

[Lord Maul]

dude, if you want a saber for 60 dollars then A. it would require a ton of work on your part. B. it wouldn't look all that great because there would be no sinktube overlay or cool mhs parts ect. ect.
