I want one of these..
He uses a 12w blood orange main component and walks through the process. Lightsabers and lasers are awesome and who knew there was a custom lightsaber group on facebook? Apparently social media can be used to unite around all sorts of causes. The home experimenter had this to say about his device:
This is a custom volcano inspired saber I built for my youngest brother using TCSS hilt pieces with a custom paint job by me to achieve a rocky, weathered look. Internals are nano biscotte version 2 soundboard with custom sound font designed by me, 12w blood orange LED by saberforge.
Most Star Wars fans do appreciate a good home made lightsaber and here are some of the comments.
Commenter Zacheria says:
Awesome!!! I can’t wait till I get my crystal reveal lightsaber. Long wait but patient. I had watched a video of a darth vader lightsaber you customized and wondered if you could do the same with mine. I want it to stay in the format it’s in but tweek the insides. It’s an fx model. Maybe add a crystal reveal to it.
Commenter AB was very enthusiastic:
Man, that’s a cool saber. I LOVE what you did with the sound font, it makes the saber super menacing. Out of curiosity, how long is the hilt? It seemed super long, but I guess Justin is a bit taller than you.
We hope you enjoy the video and be careful when experimenting with lasers!!
Brilliant!
