I bought mine from Parksabers.com.
I would really like to make one from scratch, but don't have the time right now.

I have three Master Replicas sabers (Anakin, Luke ANH, and Mace Windu).
I have made a Luke ROTJ V.2 hilt that was EL but I am converting to superbright LED, an Obi-Wan ANH hilt, and I am building two custom hilts right now. I have built about ten EL sabers in the past, some Luke ANH, some Vader ESB, some Anakin AOTC, and a few custom ones. I sold all of those at various points.
I also converted a Graflex to an ESB Luke hilt and am working on converting a Heiland to a Vader ESB.
I've just about figured out how to do my own sound module for my sabers as well. I have determined what components to use, such as what chip to use for record/playback and what accelerometer to use to detect movement. I just need to finish designing the circuit and decide once and for all whether I am going to use a timer or microcontroller or not (I don't think I should need to, but I keep having problems figuring out the logic without one or the other).
Oh, and I have made two "training sabers," as I call them, out of PVC, one regular and one double-bladed, that I can put wooden dowels in just for practice. That way, I can work on tricks without worrying about damaging one of my good hilts if I drop it.

I would love to get the Anakin, Mace and Luke... MR makes nice stuff. Too much money right now though.
I vowed not to buy another lightsaber until I fix the one I wear... needs LED wiring

I now have 3 lightsabers; my modified Heiland flash handle and two plumbing parts saber hilts. One is a modified style III from the Big Yellow Box web page and a PVC pipe saber that I made with help from instructions posted by Dougie Dooright; the link to the web page was posted on the Rebel Legion forum. I have to admit that the plumbing parts saber hilts are lighter and easier to wear than the Heiland. Even with the original electronics removed, it's still stainless steel and heavier than the others, but not unreasonably so. I have enough lightsabers for now; I've established my Jedi creds by building my own. Next one I get, I'll buy.  |

Aaaaah, very nice saber selection. My compliments. You have been much more industrious than I. What did you make the black handle parts out of? They don't look like the usual o-rings.

I've done my first one in PVC and various similar materials. My buddy John in San Diego has it now in his care. I'm working on my second now with wood, sculpy, and lots of paint....

I've made all my own sabers, some required some assistance to use an engineering mill, others have just been dremel and hacksaw jobs  |
