What's more dangerous than a Wookiee with a lightsaber?
CAPTAINCHEWBACCA WITH A LIGHTSABER!
Oh yeah, you're envious.
Upon closer inspection...
(Quarter for scale)
I still have to wrap the bottom of the handle in leather. We were going for a "norse" lightsaber look, so its made of a faux-ivory material, and made to look rather aged. The 3 runes inscribed in it are Ansuz, power of words an insight, Algiz, rune of protection, and Mannaz, for man.
Thoughts?

"Star Wars Kid Grown Up"? Don't think so. Besides, don't have a video camera.

Well, this is the done saber, I'm just debating whether or not to wrap the handle.

Its all custom-crafted. The handle is a wooden dowel wrapped with a faux-ivory material. The pommel is a faucet fixture, and the emitter disk is a bunch of scrap metal.

It looks darn cool. Simplistic yet dangerous simultaneously.
By the way, you're not going to add a hilt?

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I think that may be the round object above the saber hilt in the pictures-- some kind of button thing like on the PT sabers?Soontir C'boath wrote:I meant where's the hook that you can use to hang on your belt.CaptainChewbacca wrote:That IS the hilt, its like 16 inches long.

Actually, the round object above the hilt in the pictures is a quarter, which I included for scale. After we were done, we realized we hadn't included a clip , so if I want to put it on a belt, the mechanism would have to be attached to the belt instead of the saber.

Sometimes we can choose the path we follow. Sometimes our choices are made for us. And sometimes we have no choice at all

No, that bugger was custom, and a labor of many months. Kit-sabers are less... "piece-oriented"Lindar wrote:*nods* BUt am curious cause the picture sure makes it look keen, and if they actually make'm like that, it seems like a sound investment...Ghost Rider wrote:
