Luke Skywalker's LIGHTSABER Made From Junk | DIY Props 

This junk box sure comes in handy!

Hahaha, yea!

I learn too much from him and Odin makes for making my own creations

Pffft

I can't go out to buy all of those cuz of quarantine

That's what I used on the Darth Vader one! But no, not this time so I went with the super simple foam option.

;)

Thanks!

Too bad no one is paying me to do it this time! But I enjoy doing it so I figured it was a good hobby to make videos haha

Awesome, thanks! Did you get a chance to watch DIY Costume Squad on CineFix, that should hold you over for a while too until I make more props. :)

Great, thanks!

Thanks! Us DIYers usually use them as metal rivets but this time they made good buttons.

Emphasis on I didn't want to "just" glue it on. The slightest bump would have knocked it right off. The key here was that there is now a little piece glued into the plastic itself then bent over to clamp that sucker in place. It's still glued but with some strategic engineering! :)

Thank you! (the shooting and editing of these videos is far more complicated than building the prop itself!)

Kiddy Jackson same

😂

Dustin McLean can you please make a power up from Super Mario Bros 1 and 2 or 3

Thanks!

Nice

ive been wondering the same thing

You should!

Welcome!

Thanks!

@@DustFilmsOriginals true

Yeah if you left out the (slightly incorrect) sprinkler head it would leave a hole where you could attach something for a blade!

Yeah! I literally stood in the hardware store holding both of them trying to decide because the metal one was SO perfect! But in the end I didn't have a way to cut the rounded metal end (how did you do it?)

@@DustFilmsOriginals I used short nosed tin snips to cut away the material the best I could without deforming the shape and then ground away the rest on a bench grinder. For the box on the side I used a solid piece of steel (i think its called a key) and attached those little plastic bubble shaped cabinet door bumpers in a row. For the little toggle lever on the side of the box i used one side of the toggle on a hollow wall anchor toggle bolt. The metal band around the middle was off of a mission fitting (a kind pf pipe coupler). Like you, I used the pull chain switch thing. At the time you could buy the grips from a guy making them so that was easy. I sold the hilts for about $200 each back in '99.

@@joelwatts6890 Awesome!

They actually used T tracks. Originally used for drawers and cabinetry

Too bad now they don't make T-tracks in plastic, so now windshield wipers and special made pieces are the only options.

Yeah just don't put anything (like my sprinkler head) in the end pipe! Then you can stick a dowel in it whenever you want.

That would be cool, which one?

@@DustFilmsOriginals I'm not sure, maybe the hoverboards of Griffs Goons, or the self lacing shoes.

@@nathanmartinez5241 You saw this hoverboard right? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qQWo6A8WquQ.html I guess I could try Griff's Pitbull!

Yeah actually I cut my mention of that out of the video but that's what I used on the Darth Vader saber the first time. It's super easy to cut the strips down with a blade.

Nah, that one looks completely different and has a green blade. This is the one cut off with his hand that was somehow found then given to Rey. :)

i can smell the cheeto dust from this comment, good job

It's lukes esb lightsaber

Obi wan give him that lightsaber telling Luke that was his father's saber Soooo it yeah it technically belongs to him now

It’s the skywalker saber

Oh nice!

Sorry, for now I'm keeping the voting to one platform so it doesn't get too complicated. But that's a good prop suggestion!

Welcome!

Thanks, I spent most of my time making content for their instagram account haha

It's Anakin's/Luke's/Rey's so I call it the Skywalker lightsaber

If the three of them merged into one it would be like this

​@@TheRealJetJaguarI would disregard Rey she's not even a skywalker

@@biagdoesstuf ewww that was old me when I was a sequel fan

The classic way is to use old strips of windershield wiper blades! If you've got some, that's a very cool (and much more sturdy) trick to just trim them down.

@@DustFilmsOriginals Thanks. I'll try that! Working on an Anakin cosplay for comic con in July, and this video is perfect.

Try either T rails or rubber door stoppers

I’ve been thinking of doing some super simple paper towel roll ones

@@DustFilmsOriginals hey anything is appreciated!

@@DustFilmsOriginals also what happened to homemade movies?

On cinefix

I don't know! That's why it was in my junk box haha. I just kept the regular bolt on the bike.

I think one sonic screwdriver was enough for me :)

Hi Harrison! You could use anything there that's a similar color, or even just a piece of paper that you color orange/gold with a marker. Good luck! :)

@@DustFilmsOriginals Hi Dustin thanks i finished it today it looks epic. For your diy project could i suggest doing something from dc please. Thanks again??

Thanks for liking it you got me into my making!!

I wish I knew!

@@DustFilmsOriginals please sometime this year
