I made one out a piece of coat hanger wire. Polish it before bending.

I think theres a commercial Brass one out there, but I don't know off hand where to get one.

Someone posted here once that they went into their Mom's kitchen and found the perfect tri-ring on the end of one of her pot handles.

Here is a link from a place I found while searching for rings for another project

The picture hanging area of Michaels should have them.

I agree with michaels.

Look for puicture hangers. You will also find the "D" rings there

I propose that you make a custom replica.

Actually, MR saber is very expensive.

If you live anywhere near a Lee Valley store they have a wire bending jig which could end your need for square, d-, and tri-rings pretty quickly. Costs about $7.00 or so, just go to their website (www.leevalley.com) and search for "wire bender". Cheap, fast, and your own near limitless supply.

They have all different types of what you need.

I know you already found some, but if anyone needs to know they have an assortment of them on hose sprayer/nozzles/squirters. Not sure if they are the right size but they have nozzles just about everywhere, and i thought that might be a little easier than ordering them.

 

[foxbatkllr]

I still need one actually. Not sure what size is correct. I can't seem to find just one. I tried Michaels with no luck. All the online places just seem to sell them in bulk.

Found what I was looking for , here it is attached to the saber.. Got 2 of these blanks if any 1 is interested?

The original is rusted to hell so it can't be aluminium or stainless, right?

 

[GrenadeKing]

Right. It was probably just nickle plated or just a peice of steel wire bent to fit. I made mine the same way but out of aluminum. Good contrast to the dark color of the solid steel saber I made though...

 

[lesternessman]

Did you machine that? Are you going to making these sabers as well as your v2, Russ, or is this just a one time project or something that needed your finishing touch?

 

[Jediscum]

Man, Russ makes some of the nicest saber props around.

 

[russrep]

Hi mate thanks. I am keeping 1 for my self but have 2, and 1 half finished so call it 3 left over.
I might do a few after xmas if theres some people interested?
