Luke's Jedi Lightsaber Measurements

[meequalspirate]

So I recently came across Adam Savage's video where he makes Luke's Jedi Lightsaber on his metal lathe. This has inspired me to dust off my dad's old wood lathe and try my hand at turning one. I don't expect to be super precise, but I wanted to at least start with accurate measurements. With some quick googling I found this picture with measurements made by Martin Taylor. Does anyone know if these are solid measurements or is there somewhere else I can find good measurements?

He’s in range.
(Did mention not to redistribute on the image so a link to his page may be more appropriate to respect community guidelines)

His scale is a bit too big though. Should probably examine reference and reduce between 0.7% and 1.03% (which shouldn’t effect much besides overall length). You don’t want the emitter flange to be taller than an any other confirmed thin neck lengths. Feel free to reference the magic of myth Luke Rotj research thread to fill in detail.

Oops, replaced the image with a link. Before I was just getting linked to random pinterest posts, managed to dig up the original site with a bit more googling.

I think 1% will certainly be accurate enough for my purposes.

Thanks for pointing out the Magic of Myth thread. I knew there had to be something like that here, couldn't find it though.

Good on you, thanks for listening. Enjoy that thread. I think there’s enough info there to get you started on the wood lathe… you’re more than welcome to ask questions on the thread and of course translate all that discourse to what you do here. Good luck!

If you do a bit of scaling, you can get some accurate proportions from this image

Sorry, removed the link entirely. I had an adblocker up so I didn't notice anything. Seems like his ads got highjacked.

How accurate are these? I saw an older thread saying they weren't right, but I thought wannawanga was supposed to be the king on these things
