Kevin's Scratch Built Light Sabre

Hi,

As requested, here are some pictures of my Star Wars light sabre scratchbuild. Couldn't get a Graflex, so I had to fake it.

Cheers,
Kevin

    Thank you. Oh yes, Jedis are supposed to make their own, aren't they?

    Completely superb Kevin! So authentic. How did you cut the curve in the metal at the end?

    Thanks. As I recall, I cut the shape roughly with a hacksaw and then filed it to the exact shape.

    What would your Jedi name be Kevin? Or are you a Sith?

      Oh that's a good question, I don't know how the names work. 'Sith up to here' would work for a Davies surname. Very obscure reference to tv comedy there!

      Kev: Jedi = Good Guy, Sith = Bad Guy and never the twain shall meet :-)
