What are some of the more obscure things you have used to make your sabers.

I love looking at photos of people’s custom sabers and trying to guess what they are made out of. I was surprised to find that the sink tube was the medium of choice when I first started looking into saber building.

Abstract info on the actual movie props are good too. Most of us know that Darth Vader’s saber is made from a lighting fixture (Edit:Vader sabers in Ep. IV were most likely built from a British camera flashgun called the MPP), and (correct me if I’m wrong) Obi Wan’s saber was made out of a British Fragmenting grenade.

And pics are encouraged!


lol I love that gif!
