Let's see your scratchbuilt sabers!

Just to keep this thread alive here is another not quite so accurate saber of mine

I am in the process of replacing the hex screws with more accurate ones. Although I like the extra grip the round head ones give. It is definately not perfect but each and every piece on it can be found in a True Value hardware store.

And for my current work in progress

Guess what this is going to be when it grows up.



..and a lot of filing.......

Here's my two babies...

Both are made out of various copier parts, lens assemblies, harddrive spacers, motors, platters, lamp tubes, etc.

The emitter section for this one I dished out and polished on the lathe

This one was made using an old harddrive motor, some copier lens cases, a heiland flash tube, some carburetor parts and a harddrive spindle.

Ohh.. I like the one with the angled emitter!

Me too, and I never thought of using HDD parts before!

Great designs! Very creative and traditional. I'm guessing they're a bit heavy?
