Hey guys,

I couldn't find an answer to this on the forum so hopefully you guys can help me out.
So I want to make a "vibroblade" type blade for my lightsaber. I heard they were made out of acrylic.

Here are some examples:

My questions:
1. Is it actually made out of acrylic?
2. What is the best way to cut acrylic? Is there any good tutorials someone can refer me to?
3. How would I go about doing the etching on the blade? He does it really clean.

Thanks!
