    I like the wood too. It looks great.

    It was my first attempt at weathering. I knocked it around a bit then just sprayed the whole thing with ultra matt black spray paint and lightly sanded the used areas of the hilt.

    Those are not LEDs, that is EL wire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroluminescent_wire

    That post you are quoting was from back in 2006, and most people nowadays do not use EL anymore, but for a bunch of boards on the subject, check the following two section of the forum:

    I think there is confusion. I mean the strips on the hilt and not the blade! I did not find anything in those sections about the light strips.

    Yes I know. I am 95% sure that those strips on the hilt are made out of the same EL wire as inside the blade. The board sections I linked to contain information on wiring up EL wire, you would just have to apply those concepts to the hilt instead of to the blade.


    If you google "EL wire" you can see many other uses of EL wire that look pretty similar to the Hilt's Strips

    This started out as a Starkiller from Jedi Master on Etsy, I wanted something a bit more "me" my first "custom" saber.

    Graflex- glass eye knob, red button knob and brass pins (TCSS)
    Crystal chamber cage is from a broken Innokin 134 mini vape mod.
    6w blue LED unit, blade and blade plug (SF)
    3.7 18500, charge port, kill plug, Nano Bisc. v2, 12mm moment. switch, covertec button and act. box #20 (TCSS)
    Pommel insert is the blade plug from 2010 Obi Wan R/B lightsaber (Hasbro)
    Cracked leather and copper tape.

    Thanks for looking

    That is beautiful btw. What did you use for the blade plug? That's like the exact design i need for a arc reactor crystal chamber for a ironman lightsaber im making.

    Hello, sabersmiths. Here is my lightsabers - simple, no sound fx, only light and vibration. All hilt parts made by hands and dremel.
    First saber:
