Hello everyone! I am very new to lightsaber building and I wanted to challenge myself by building my first lightsaber from scratch (from aluminum found in the garage) and I wanted it to have a string blade, because I wanted my blade to be a consistent color. And it was one heck of a challenge. The saber that I decided to build is just a basic stunt saber. The biggest issue that I have ran into is finding the material that diffuses the light the best. I ended up just stealing some of my moms white felt fabric to wrap the string in. (Im sure you are cringing at my last statement, but it didn't turn out to bad.)

The main reason why I am posting this is for future reference for when I build my next.
