I thought the thumbnail was clickbait, but it turns out that this is just an amazing prop tutorial! I'm subscribing, and I may make one of these myself!

@LoneWolfe775 7 лет назад

I know this is not screen accurate, but I'm not complaining. This is the nicest PVC/Hardware Store Lightsaber I have ever seen! I will definitely be following your tutorial to make my own, thanks HappyTrooper!

@LeechUFC 6 лет назад

Zedrick were u successful in making it¿

@nicksoccer0727 4 года назад

I mean it’s pretty screen accurate compared to buying A $300 ultra saber that don’t make them exactly like the ones in the movie. And the Disney ones are cool but they are not bright or loud. So this is perfect imo especially for making a film which is what I will be doing

@RaikenXion 4 года назад

It honestly doesnt matter if it is not, i mean its close enough and well its really the effort of making it yourself that counts the most.

@TheMorfeus2 6 лет назад

i friggin love the price to quality ratio here, it looks ready for close-up shots! 11/10, amazing work

@kornholiokid867 Год назад

Bro your enjoyable to listen to. Kind, curtious and very informative. I'm catching this video 5yrs after it's posted but it's awesome. If your still dropping videos I hope your style hasn't changed.

Is anyone else one of those people that watch hours of diy videos never having any intent on doing any of them

@comradeopthomasthehedgehog 5 лет назад

At first, I didn't have that intent, but I thought I would would try to do one.

@mrmuffin6584 4 года назад

I just watch them to get ideas for when I eventually do my own with my own design

@SaltyBob355 4 года назад

Perfect static prop. Like to see a electronics and blade friendly dueling version.

@katiehoehl2743 7 лет назад

The trick with the graphite is intriguing, I've always thought that you couldn't get a pvc hilt to look like metal no matter what you try--thanks for proving me wrong.

@HappyTrooperDotCom 7 лет назад

Hello Katie, thank you for watching and leaving a comment. I'm now a believer in this method. I saw someone make a very convincing plastic old west rifle on therpf.com (prop forum) using graphite powder. I gave it a try and I really like: 1) how easy it is to do and 2) how convincing it looks. As you probably know, its tough to get a realistic metallic finish with spray cans. Airbrush is a different story. For ease of use, and for looks, graphite powder is great for props!

@JACKTHEBBTFAN 7 лет назад

You should do this for all the main character lightsabers

@Slashmore 4 года назад

This really reminds me of a webpage called "Lightsabers from the Big Yellow Box". That webpage is now 20 years old (Tripod Domain!) and reminds me when I was a Kid trying to build my own Lightsaber. Great Channel!

@normietwiceremoved 7 лет назад

I lvoe that these tutorials show your step by step process. Too many prop tutorials on youtube edit too much to stay condensed but in turn lose its information. 10/10 will make.

@DIYGene 6 лет назад

Very cool. Well done, I really like your step by step process.

@occamsrayzor 6 лет назад

That looks excellent! No sloppy short cuts, just some really good work.

@illusionoptics 6 лет назад

Just used this tutorial to make my own lightsaber hilt! Honestly the patterns and this whole tutorial were so helpful. I had to make a few adjustments just because of the availability of parts at my local stores, but it worked so well! I'm adding actual blades onto my saber as well to add to the awesomeness. But anyway, amazing tutorial! Thanks for posting it!

@TheLocutus70 7 лет назад

I've been waiting for this HappyTrooper. Thank you.

@reubensprouse 4 года назад

Great project to do with your little kids that like to cosplay and go out on Halloween and trick or treat ad Kylo Ren. Although it isn't exactly like the movie version it is close and your little kid will love it especially if you both make it together. Nice job.

Yo your vids are great and I appreciate them. You’ve inspired me, thank you. Try a yoda and/or obi wan style lightsaber

@Dustywitch 7 лет назад

When you got started and I saw PVC I was thinking "oh god, not another cheap model" turns out looking really good. With enough inspiration any light saber can be built with this technique and look fairly good.

@MaximusJohal 4 года назад

How many rotations of friction/electrical tape did you used?

@captassassin5680 6 лет назад

It looks like there was a lot of paint transfer on your hands while you were assembling your hilt. Am I mistaken? If not, what can we do to correct that? And if I am, my bad, I’m not trying to throw shade. I’m just curious. Great build, thanks for sharing!

@gaylordpantamime 6 лет назад

@kane101985 4 года назад

Really cool vid, did he take the template down or something though? I can't find it anywhere.

@jwinnington 7 лет назад

outstanding job. was the graphite the same stuff locksmiths use to lube locks. I ask because that's the only kind I know. Thanks

@HappyTrooperDotCom 7 лет назад

Hello, thank you for watching, and for the nice comment. It is my understanding that locksmith graphite and artists graphite is the same thing. Graphite :-) I purchased a jar from Amazon for 12$ an it goes a LONG way. I have used it for: a Tusken Sniper scope, this hilt, Han Solo blaster, Princess Leia blaster, and a scratch-built T-21. I still have well over 3/4 of the jar left. If you get some graphite for prop weathering, I recommend getting a jar like this amzn.to/2ingBvE The little locksmith tubes may not have enough? Good luck on your build!

@Anthony-sv5hw 6 лет назад

How do I put a blade and led into it

@AJBelmares 6 лет назад

One trick you can do to get blades is before you put in the conduit, drill a hole in the middle. Since the conduit is 1/2 inch, try making the holes big enough to fit a 1/4 wooden dowel or a PVC pipe. As far as the cross blades (or exhaust ports), either edit that in post or get pipe or dowels short enough to stick out. The only part that maybe difficult would be blade retention so that when you're dueling it won't fly out. Also, blade retention on this design might not make it as aesthetically pleasing.
