First prop

[mediocre maker]

CV19 allowed for a little extra time to try my hand at a prop lightsaber. Used wooden dowels and threaded rod as the core. Used left over bike and plumbing pieces for the rest. Waiting on Amazon to deliver the final pieces. I’ll update the post when it comes in. Here are a few before and after weathering pics. Thanks to Adam Savage and Bill Duran (can I tag people here) for the all the tips. Looking forward to joining the forum and expanding my skill set.

I like the throttle lever, nice and original trilogy clunky

Looks very "I, Jedi" inspired.

Thanks?! What does that mean exactly?

The character in the book made a saber out of the grip of a speeder bike.

I had the same thought, I loved that book back in the day.
