Wow, those are nice lightsabers you have there, which Jedi carries those?

Seriously, nice collection of Dr. Who drivers you have going. What is needed to finish them?

Re: Really, who would have sonic? (ME!!!!!!!!)
Thanks everyone for the kind remarks in regards to the lightsabers :lol
I just finished the slider section and am working on the blue tops currently (I had to improvise with one which turned out pretty good). I am also in the process of cleaning up the bottom knobs.
These things are honestly a pain to make. Since they are hand made, they are "all" a little different. The sliding part and top section is made of 15 seperate pieces (including epoxy pockets). The body is the easy part. I can turn them out on my grandfather's lathe almost at will (just a little different each time :angel)
The only gripe I have is that I haven't come up with a way to make the small circles in the emmiter section. I thought I had solved the problem, but realized it wouldn't work. The search continues.
Once they are finished, I think I am going to keep one and put the others up on ebay. I haven't decided yet although I can't imagine keep them all.
As for the longer one on the bottom, that was one of the first two I made. This one doesn't open like the other ones. I probably will keep either that one, or the practice blank that is down the basement for a "FUTURE" project :cool The difference is the longer version looks more to the size of the prop that is Doctor uses now, as opposed to the others that I made that are closer to the 9th Doctor (5 3/4 long shut and about 7 inches open). The scrap blank is closer to the 9th Doctor's and I don't think that is right, but I will see.
Thanks again for all the comments.
