So, I've always wanted to build a lightsaber, and am fascinated by early Star Wars prop making... but as a college student with only a handsaw, drill, epoxy, sandpaper, spray paint, and razor blades, I am limited with what i can do (even if ANH was mostly built with flash cells, machine guns and windshield wipers)
So, after lurking here for years, and some recent research, I set off to build a PVC lightsaber, and had so much fun I built many
these three are almost done, just awaiting some more parts (screws, switches, wires, covertec) and I have 4 more in the works (hand sanding takes forever!!!)
All of these feature just simple electronics, (just a pretty rebel led light ) and other than that its all PVC and belts from my local thrift shop
enjoy

Thanks to all those that help me figure out some of the N00b details
