[@Illegalindustries]

It’s a hard pick because while I really like the level of detail and authentic look of Ben’s I think I have to vote Stanley because he went the extra mile to make the blade and to give it his own personal made at Home Depot feel.

[@BenLaurence]

Thank you! I definitely would have put a blade in mine but the what it was constructed didn’t allow for a blade to fit in. That just means I’ll have to make another one!!

[@TheJediCaptain]

When you build your own lightsaber, you have a connection with it. I also went in without any real vision. My lightsaber went through many different iterations before I had my final product. Mine is largely made from a scrap metal dumpster, too. The only money I spent was on leather wrap, adhesives, and lead acid solder.

[@BenLaurence]

Exactly! A lot of people keep asking me for a parts list and they’re missing the point. It’s all about creativity and adding your own style

i mean yea kinda, im a precuel fan but they just look to ''abstract'', not that i like the sequels but rey's and kylo's lightsaber look like a piece of tech, but the precuel ones look more toy like, not all of them just mostly

[@BenLaurence]

@produccionesluxy yeah that’s kind of my feeling towards the prequel hilts, they look too over designed. Too shiny and machined while the original and sequel sabers look more hand made (cause the original sabers were built with found parts)

This is a great vid. He used to have 2 other lightsaber videos excluding Tresh’s lightsaber vid, b/c that’s still on his channel. The other two were where Ben built a second saber out of stuff from their new workshop, and the second was one where Tresh’s dad built a saber out of stuff from his shed, however you can still watch that one from his channel who you can find through Tresh’s channel. I wish he would reupload those two vids.

I only took them off cause they kind of big down the channel.. every so often I go through the catalog and remove some videos that don’t mix with the others..

For D-ring hangers you don't have to go to Disney. In fact, you can probably find what you need at Home Depot by the key cutter. It's a key ring belt clip that's a strip of metal folded over on itself twice like an S. One side hangs from your belt and the other side accepts your D-ring. Also, if you can reconfigure your hilt so it's hollow and accepts a blade, you can get DIY electronic kits to put inside. Check out some BYO Lightsaber vids to see how to do it. Good job, both of you. There are elements that I like of each, so I declare a tie. :D

Hey John, sorry I don’t have a parts list but part of the fun is finding the parts and creating your own :)

I would absolutely LOVE a detailed photo set or video describing the pieces you used to make your sabers, especially how you attached the threaded rod. I wanna make one for my godson! and for myself as well!

[@BenLaurence]

Thank you! We actually just released another lightsaber video of you want to check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWLKdqesbrWDqbs The best part of this challenge is to make it your own so your personality reflects in the saber

[@SerialSnowmanKiller]

If you grab some 1$ pool noodles from Wal-Mart, they fit snugly over 1/2in PVC and work wonderfully to turn model lightsabers into nerf swords. The only problem is finding a way to design the saber so that the blades can be removed when you want while staying solidly in place when in use.

Hey not a bad idea if you’re looking for a saber to play with 😃

What did he use for the blade??
