Ever since I saw a concept drawing of Plo Koon's Concept saber, I wanted to make one. Well, I did and now it's finished.
Here's what I used....two 1.5 sink tubes, two 1.25 90 degree tubes, one 1.25 sink tube, a brass kick plate (for a door) and a DPDT switch from Radio Shack. From TCSS, a few sink tube adaters, two emitters, 2 Amber LUX III's.
First, I cut a "Jedi Star" ot of a brass plate using a dremel and LOTS OF PATIENCE.
Then I crafted all my sink tubes together, cutting them to fit, around difficult curves, screwing them down and using some Quik Steel to secure the bond. Once the main hilt was secure, we powder coated it.
Next, had to tear it apart again...
And Let Darth Call work his magic with the wiring...
Here he is again...now he's having fun.
Ok...so we used a Joe Jedi sound card with a 1000mah buckpuck and about 40 feet of wire...running to a DPDT switch and a few accent leds. And here's what we ended up with...
with the lights off, to show off the blades...
Sooo...that's about it. I really like this saber. It's strong but not very duelable. This took a while to work ot so it's sort of a labor of love for me. Thanks to Darth Call for the great wiring job. Look for more collaborations between he and I! ;)
Here was the original concept drawing
Here are my other custom sabers...
