Build your own lightsaber

Ok, so I'm a Star Wars freak. I hope to make my own fan film in the next 6 months, so I've been learning film making techniques, and building lightsabers.

Here's me disciplining my dog.

If you wanna learn how to do this yourself, you need Photoshop, and this tutorial. Skip the part about Premiere.

I read this and I am trying to build my won lightsaber and would like to help any other trying. go to /www.wilcoxusa.net
and may the force be with you

Jedi master will said on 09/07/05 @ 04:15 PM:
Master Will here again I have found that in the site suggested earlier if you print out the instructions and things you need you will find that you can build your lightsaber for under 30$. The only problem is that you need a band saw. If you dont have one or access to one you might have troble. Thanx 4 reading this. May the force be with you fellow jedi. OH if you have ?s e mail me at W_Cass13@hotmail.com

Jedi master will said on 09/11/05 @ 11:04 AM:
Yes fellow knights I finnally have all the parts I need for my saber. I have used other parts than what Wilcoxusa. com tells you to use you can use a peice of pipe founed in the pluming section of homedepot. and everythig should be in that section. the buttions on the saber you can find in lighting. you would use the nuts that you would use to secure a light to a ceiling. then the kind of adhisif I reccomend is gorilla glue. It takes a lot of prep work to use but it pays off. Total mony I spent 15$!!!! that is sweet! Ill write again when I have finnished. until then "may the force be with you all"

Jedi master will said on 09/17/05 @ 04:07 PM:
Well Ive finally finished my saber the total mony 25$ I got all the parts I need. I even got them all in the small town of Casper WY. so you should get them too. just go to a bolt shop and Home Depot and get: a peice of pipe 12" and the width is what ever feels comfotorable to your hand. I used 1 1/4" pipe. then you get any decoration you want. then you can get dull metal color or I used chrome paint. It should take you (if you move extreamly fast you can get it done in 3-4 days) about 7 days working for one to two hours a day. YOU WILL NEED TO USE: a drill press (for switches), a band saw, a file for metal, a lot of time and patence. and a girlfriend / boyfriend that understands.

darth redav said on 01/07/06 @ 09:34 PM:
crazy cool tutorial

Jedi master will said on 03/16/06 @ 05:56 PM:
For all you people out there trying to bulid a lightsaber I've returned with at least 5 weeks worth of info. For one you need to know exactly what kind of lightsaber you are going to make before you start construction. I've made several, all turned out like shit since I did'nt plan it. So for example to build a obi wans ep 1 lightsaber (I know this sounds useless but read it all) go to google and type in Obi-Wan's ep 1 lightsaber plans or blueprints. then you should get a hughe list of sites that should help you. Some don't even come close to helping you but some of the sites I visited told you the parts you will need and how to assemble it. If you are having no luck what so ever with this e-mail me and I can send you Obi-Wans Ep 1 lightsaber parts and assembly instructions. The e-mail address is W_cass13@hotmail.com
Thanks and may the force be with you
Will

Jedi master Will said on 03/16/06 @ 06:19 PM:
That Obi wan ep 1 lightsaber I was talking about I found a link for any padawan that wishes to bulid. www.fortunecity.com/tatooine/apollo/209/obitutorial.htm

Once again, may the force be with you all
