Count Dooku Lightsaber DIY How To

[987654321a]

Hello everyone.
Whoever is interested in making a count dooku FX lightsaber you have come to the right place. i know how to replicate dooku's saber.
Count Dookus lightsaber is very detailed, and you might have to pay alot for the parts at a local hardware shop. (now i dont know the exact prices so, that, you will have to figure out yourself)
Here are the parts needed:
- Courtesy of kincharbamin's website and tutorial for building a saber in 20 mins:

As you can see you just need the items that i have circled
NOTE: The pipe in the lower right corner needs to be shorter than that (preferably 9 centimeters)

- 1 sheet of Rubber Grip material (Doesnt matter what it looks like, because you can customize the looks for your own personal likings)

- a 3 cm wide washer, with a 5mm hole Try to find it in chrome (if you cannot find it in chrome then buy a chrome spray paint, which is usually found in the car section of Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart and many other stores.)

- One 2 cm wide washer to put on top of the 3 cm washer

- One 13 cm Chrome Pipe

- One 7-1/2 cm Chrome pipe

- and for the top part , right now i have to look more to see if i can find a curved chrome pipe just like that, and i will keep you guys informed on that.

there will be more parts so Add this Post to your favorites and check on it for more updates

Thank you,

Ok now i have the first 2 steps for making the saber.

1)Cut out this shape with a piece of paper.

2)Then Use this template to cut out that same piece out of a rubbery grip material. Like so.(i used a very simple grip)
Cut out 2 of these (1 for bottom and 1 for top)

Note: Come back to this post for more steps.

hey i went to a vaccuum cleaner shop to check out tubing options, and they had a curved shiny tube for where the vacuum handle bends from the plastic hose. it was like $80 AUD but if you really wanted to make a good one, that ones like pretty much the exact angle, its not too sharp like those piping bits, but its a smooth curve like on the MR dookus one.
