 First off, I was having a very tricky time managing a photo of this lightsaber. It's highly polished and the flash likes to blow it out, removing all the details. If you're at C3 you can see it up close. I crafted it by hand. Aluminum tubing, and solid round. It works, taking an EL blade (see below). The electronics I got from Lightech. The transformer makes the sort of hum that will set your teeth on edge, so I sealed the electronics in silicon sealant. In fact I sealed the entirety of the guts in silicon. This will ensure that nothing will ever come loose.  Simplicity was the idea of this light saber. No bizzare parts sticking out into space, no clutter, just a comfortable, sleek hilt that would be combat worthy. Embodies the jedi mentality in my opinion. Here's a shot of the blade in glow (full darkness):  And here's me being dramatic with it: ;D  When i get back from C3 I'm going to post all the working photos (construction) on my website. Cheers, Xeco Edit: OMG!! I had so many typos!!! |

Very nice.
It's great to see good work like that, especially from another female. I wish there were more of us like that out there!
I know there are a lot of them here, and I relish that fact. ;D

Thanks, all of you. I'm especially flattered to have someone do a Keanu voice at me. *hums the theme to The Jeffersons*
