Jay-gon's PVC Hilts - Full tutorial on last page

[Darth Sivis]

Jay-gon you are my new hero! I've been lurking the forums for a good guide to build my first lightaber (well two of my first since i'm also building one for my girlfriend turn starwars freak). The guides you have look so simple to follow I just have to try it! I have both lowes and home depot (across the street from eachother ironicly) so I might even see about hangling the prices of parts down. I have other goodies I might put into them. Aside from all that nonsence I just wanna tahnk you for the biggest help ever!

We never did see any of the hilts that astromech khuns. I wonder if he every ended up getting any made?

[DACOTA]

Man am I out of the loop. (Cant be out of what you were never in. Just in case someone else wants to pull that.) But man Jay those are sweet! Look at you thinking outside the hilt. What a great way to go!

[Matakin]

I don't mean to make myself sound stupid off of this little ancient topic -

But Jay, what blade holder did you might've used for your PVC saber? Or is it just the the PVC you have?

[Sairon]

just pvc, it does help to read the thread

I don't mind someone digging up this old thread and asking questions! Ask away! That's how one learns new things!

OK, here goes. What coupler did you use to make your double bladed saber and how did you install it?

[Jay-gon Jinn]

Just a basic pvc electrical conduit coupler that screws together. I may suggest cutting some threads off of the male section of the coupler, though. It takes a while to unscrew the two halves, and shortening the threads will lessen the time needed to unscrew them.

Thanks. You are a Jedi Master!

I am new to the whole saber building crew but was curious what type of resistor Jay-gon used to build his PVC sabers. Any info would be great. Thanks so much.
