Cheap Lightsaber Prop Tutorial (Part 3)

I have YEARS of experience making prop Lightsabers with Plumbing parts, and you are suggesting pretty much the best cheap materials out there. People argue that using PVC pipe for the blade is better, but PVC pipe is heavy and it wobbles, so really Wooden dowels are the best choice. The only thing I would suggest is using colored Duct-tape on the blade rather than Paint. Cause Paint often chips off. But yeah, this Lightsaber prop tutorial is the best one out there right now =D I’m not kidding.

to glue the buttons on use super glue then put gorilla glue around it.

What did you use for power buttons and how did you get them to stay on?

Great lightsaber dude , helped me alot!

This is gonna be really helpful in the coming months, thanks a lot dude.

so cool yet so cheap

looks like a LEGO lightsaber hilts you know those that come with jedi legos and thats coool!! lol

Thanks man!!

Your tutorials are the best! i went to lowes today, got the things you said to get, and it only cost me $19.25. And i finished it today too!

This tutorial is probably one of the best i’ve seen! it’s cheap but it works! awesome work.

Thanks al lot its amazing and Very Nice Im going to the shop right now Thanks

Would a person be able to use those to fight against a FX Light Saber. I am in a group in college called the MSU order and we learn how to do a choreographed light saber battle, and i would realy like to have a blade to use. so i don’t have to borrow. The cheapest FX light saber i can buy is like 50 or 60 dollers. But if that would work the same that would be awsome.

yes i would love it do it

I’m not sure about everything he used, but I’ve built som prop lightsabers of my own, including darth vader’s. Would anybody like it if I made a video on how to make them?

can i have a list of everything you need from lowes

thank you so much.

AWESOME! best prop lightsaber tutorial on this whole site!

This is sick, i was always fasinated with making my own lightsaber .

Awesome video !!!! Nice

your vouce is AWEASOME!!!!!

NICEEEE.

awesome

thanks

you inspired me to make lightsabers

NICE TUTORIAL!! I guess that’s another way you can make your own lightsaber prop out of plumbing parts. The lightsabers STILL look nice even when made of PVC pipes and not metal.

Btw, Hearing that *clack* sound, when editng, when the swords collide actually helps you out when editing lightsaber sound effects ( I have experience with this kind of sound editing)
