Before people start chucking US, Parks, TCSS, and Saberforge at me, I've checked them all out and sometime in the future I will be buying something form them. For now, I'm looking to build my own lightsaber, I currently have a 300 lumen flashlight (may or may not be too weak to illuminate a blade, Im not sure) and I'm looking to turn it into my first saber. Now when it comes to aesthetics, I can handle all that jazz on my own.
My question for you guys is about if there's a certain way I should go about making the part of the hilt where the blade needs to be inserted? I'm planning to just buy a blade from SF or US, and I think they're about 1" in diameter, but I'm not sure if they click into lightsabers or if its just forcing them in and letting pressure do its job.
What do you guys think I should be using for that by the way, do you think PVC would cut it?
