The prequel sabers were around that diameter, so maybe it'd look more like an Anakin version, but I'd say go for it. It's a CUSTOM saber thread after all!!

Here's another custom I've been working on, no electronics inside, yet.
The Obi-Wan style emitter is a flame tube or something from an engine again from something that was scrap from dressing sets on the new Avengers movies. Had to machine a delrin collar to affix it to the rest of the saber body.

Hey everyone, here's a new custom I just assembled together. May do some light weathering but I like this one pretty clean. No sound or blade, but added a little analog circuit to blink the lights on the side (think ROTJ hero, in the cave scene) to give it a little extra interest. Mix of some plastic and metal parts, some unknown metal rod in the middle, the guy at the swap meet thought it had to do with a fishing rod, but I was just looking for cool metal tubes. Hope you dig it!

Hey @BDBear ! I was considering using a camera belt holder with quick release. I think it'd work great with MPP style center pommel screw holes.

As for your photos... start a new reply, "Click" on the "Insert Image" icon (it's the one that looks like a picture frame just to the right of the Earth with a red X on it). Click "From Computer", Click on "Browse", select the image you want to instert in your reply by clicking on it, Click on "Open", Click on "Upload file(s)".... et VOILA! your image should appear.

And success! So this is my first attempt at a metal (mostly) hardware saber. Everything came from my local hardware store except the emitter. That's the top to a fake sprinkler key hidey thing I found at my goodwill. Obviously it still needs paint, but it's been raining here.

Thanks. I've been looking for roller bearings since I saw someone else use them, but didn't know what kind to ask for. So thank you again! I'm actually heading out to pick up some more parts and now know exactly where to go!

This belt hanger. I've been using it for years upon years. I wear it every single day, for my keys.
And also, of course, for lightsabers. I have five or six of these things.
Anyway, I swear by it. It's cheap, and durable, and small.
What was the belt clip system used on Kylo Ren's hilt? Was it a found item? I'd like to play around with that.

The dimensions look good. It should work out nicely. What size pipe did you use? I found most coupling pieces too bulky for 1 1/4" ID pipe.
I'm working on a PVC saber too; a Stormtrooper saber. Here's the progress so far and a link to the build thread.

That's a gorgeous saber. The pipe I'm using is schedule 40 (thick wall) 3/4". No room for electronics really, but great for stunt sabers and belt hangers. Maybe enough room for lights. What did you use as the end plug?

Oops. Didn't see the link.
I so need a lathe

Prior to getting a lathe I did stuff on my drill press with a file. It's slow but you can do a few things.

I've seen people do that with regular drills too. Thought about myself, but haven't had the time to come up with a rig yet.
Well, I started going through the flashguns I have amassed. I have little to no plans to make these into sabers anymore, but will probably still make one out of a Canon or a Peak one day.

whatever else is in this picture...plus a large box of other camera equipment, reflectors, and random ephemera.
So many plans, so little time.

You could get stupid money for those Bolseys if you put them on eBay. Prices have skyrocketed since TLJ.
I just ordered one of these. I'm thinking of putting it on my crossguard saber. Also for another alternative, I've got nerf tac rail (from a blaster I dismantled for parts. Nerf is my other passion) I'm thinking of mounting to a saber, then making a belt attachment with the slide from a junked accessory. I'll post pics when I can.
I'm not sure about Kylo Ren's belt rig. I think I heard somewhere they created it from scratch, but I might be wrong.
