My latest Hardware Lightsaber

[Snowflake]

hello boys... it seems like i'm specializing in Hardware Sabers, this is my fifth saber, and i believe the nicest so far. It is made from parts found in hardware stores here in italy, but i believe these parts are pretty easy to find anywhere.

Hydraulic tube/rubbers, garden pipings, some good looking screw and the emitter is an aluminum shape to cook Cannoli in the oven

nothing is glued or painted, to ensure durability and there's a covertec clip.

Comments?

p.s.: if somebody likes it very much i would consider putting it in the Junkyard :cool

What's the junkyard? I'm new to the forum. Does that mean you can sell a prop?

 

[dropshipbob]

That looks great! All the parts work so well with each other. Would you happen to have any "in progress" photos?

deadlast, yes, the junkyard is a section in which things can be bought/sold.

Great looking saber!

But not until you've reached 20 posts, and been a member for 90 days.

And yes, great looking saber man! I like the emitter.

I like it. I tend to do hardware sonic screwdrivers but have been wanting to try my hand at a lightsaber. This might be the inspiration. I recognize a piece or two but would like to see some in progress pics too.

 

[ThayNerd]

Progress pics would be great!

Che bella, questa lightsaber! Bravo!

 

[Snowflake]

thank you guys! I'm trying to find some progress photo, but i can't find any, i usually take them but this saber was a really quick built... i started collecting the parts maybe one year ago and put everything in my bitbox, then a week ago i got inspired and basically i took a stick of wood and mounted all the parts on it.

i'm happy you like it
(getting a nice feedback from the RPF members is always a burst to my selfesteem!) :lol

Grazie a te Jedi Reali :cool

I always like seeing hardware sabers! I've got a few myself and they are definitely fun to build. You did a great job on that one.

Awesome work, man! That honestly one of THE nicest hardware saber designs I've ever seen. The only thing I (personally) would have done different is flip the emitter around so you have a thin neck and a wide opening like an OWK saber. But like I said, it's merely personal preferance. I love your saber!

It's good to see people doing hardware sabers again.

thanks for the nice words

You are right, actually this saber started as an OWK look-alike and the inverted emitter was in the first mock-up i made, but then i added the "cannoli" handguard and i felt the emitter fit better the way it is now... wouldn't the handguard been added the emitter would have totally been in the inverted position :thumbsup

Well, regardless, it's made its way into my sacred ligtsaber reference folder. I think there are only two other hardware sabers in there.

:love thank you!

 

[tingjunkie]

Yep, easily one of the nicest harware sabers I've ever seen. Quite inspiring... time to dig my "in progress" sabers out of the closet.

 

[Sporak]

Very nice work
