CAPTAINCHEWBACCA WITH A LIGHTSABER!



Oh yeah, you're envious.

Upon closer inspection...
(Quarter for scale)




I still have to wrap the bottom of the handle in leather. We were going for a "norse" lightsaber look, so its made of a faux-ivory material, and made to look rather aged. The 3 runes inscribed in it are Ansuz, power of words an insight, Algiz, rune of protection, and Mannaz, for man.

Thoughts?

that's pretty frigging cool....

how make a video of you waving the lightsaber around!

"Star Wars Kid Grown Up"? Don't think so. Besides, don't have a video camera.

damn...

well..I tried!

still, pretty cool there, post a pic when you have it completely done, wouldn't mind seeing the finished work

Well, this is the done saber, I'm just debating whether or not to wrap the handle.

what did you make it from? it looks almost like it came from either a lamp, a pool cue or a table leg.

Its all custom-crafted. The handle is a wooden dowel wrapped with a faux-ivory material. The pommel is a faucet fixture, and the emitter disk is a bunch of scrap metal.

Very nice, master Jedi.

It looks darn cool. Simplistic yet dangerous simultaneously.

By the way, you're not going to add a hilt?

That IS the hilt, its like 16 inches long. I wrapped the base of the ivory in leather.

I am impressed. And Envious.

I meant where's the hook that you can use to hang on your belt.

I think that may be the round object above the saber hilt in the pictures-- some kind of button thing like on the PT sabers?

Actually, the round object above the hilt in the pictures is a quarter, which I included for scale. After we were done, we realized we hadn't included a clip , so if I want to put it on a belt, the mechanism would have to be attached to the belt instead of the saber.

Ooouuuuuuuu.....Pretttyyy.......

*nods* BUt am curious cause the picture sure makes it look keen, and if they actually make'm like that, it seems like a sound investment...

You kinda look like Jesus. With a lightsaber.

No, that bugger was custom, and a labor of many months. Kit-sabers are less... "piece-oriented"

Now you're talking!

P.S. Siggied!

looks like it can double as a handy light mace

O.O

Friggin sweeet...

Good art has function as well as form. I hesitate to spend more than $50 on decorations of any kind unless they can be used to pummel an intruder into submission.

It was free... AND it can be used to pummel an intruder into submission.

Reminds me of another lightsaber on SDN.
