Hi, /diy/. Thinking of making a homemade custom lightsaber, just as a project to keep me busy. However im super new to this, so any basic tips for a beginner? Anyone made one before?

buy a pop up sink drain to use as your hilt. I don't know where you are going to get a focusing crystal though

Don't do it man, you'll fuck it up somehow if you don't know exactly what you're doing.

My main problem would be what glues and stuff to use. Unless you're taking the piss about me making an actual lightsaber heh.

And if you're not joking either, I don't plan on going that much into detail. Just a hilt I can use on a costume, or sit on my wall or something

Really nice, thanks for the ideas, guys. Any idea on how I'd make a blade for play fighting? Trying to get my little nephew into Star Wars, I think he'd love a play lightsaber

Apparently I'm developing parkinsons, sorry for the shaky pictures, but you get the idea.

Just spray paint some wooden dowels with chrome spray paint then go back with some gloss black spray paint for the buttons and whatnot.
