Lightsaber Tutorials

[guyverraziel]

Yes, I'm probably being stupid/blind/both, but could anyone point me in the direction of some good lightsaber blade tutorials? I'm looking at making a scratch built custom, but I'm unsure with which blade method to go for, i.e. luxeon led, EL wire or chain-leds.

Everytime I try to search myself I only get photoshop tutorials, which aren't too much use to me.

Can't remember if this has been discussed in depth here, but these two threads go into the design of both EL and LED

Hope it helps, I believe there are others but this should get you started
