I thought it would be fun to make a thread where people could post their own lightsaber designs, people can comment on them and give advice and pointers. Not to mention the compliments you'll receive for your artwork!

Ok...I'll bite! Usually just posting pics of finished hilts but artwork can be great fun too... Here's a set of renders, made from my drawings, for a few I hope to one day get machined...somewhere. I did not do the renders (they are thanks to Darth Vile over at the RS website):     A few of these are used in my Fan-Fiction stories. |

d**n, Starkindler! Nice designs Thanks Philonius. very cool! where did you get the idea for the hilts?? My original drawings were done using MS Paint. I just started with a proportioned rectangle and toyed with it until something triggered an idea for a design. I have them up on Photobucket as well, but they are large too large to post except as links. |

Great job! I combine sprinkler parts and hardware parts in the ones I've made.

Diana I got real lucky! I walked into a liquidation sale at a Wal-Mart. They had all these sprinkler parts and attachments in black for @$.50-$.75 each. I saw the emitter piece first and walked the aisle holding pieces up to it to see how they looked. Once home I used my rotary tool to convince a few parts to fit snugly together, applied a little glue here and there.....alas recently my daughter got hold of it and it somehow snapped in half....time for more gorilla glue (or epoxy maybe). |

I have stuck mostly to plumbing parts for my sabers. It is hard to beat a simple, silver sink pipe for a base. Cheap, lightweight, easy to cut with a hacksaw and smooth with a dremel tool. With some o-rings and the next size pipe up, you can do a lot. It is basically Style III on the Big Yellow Box web site designs.
