Well I've got the LED's sorted out, but I can't find anywhere to get the blade from.

Are you still deciding what to make it out of or do you know already? I was thinking clear PVC or similar would be good, but I have no idea where to get it.

Ahh I spend all day looking for this, I hope this will work if I get it. It's the blade

I'm pretty sure most of you are good with LED's, so can you tell me if these are good enough for what I am trying to do? (they will go into a clear tube)

yes, I know lasersabers. They were too expensive for what I was trying to do, because you needed to get one of the wicked lasers (lowest like $900) so you can see why I didn't do that.

Nice quadripple posting btw.

It's not my fault no-one else posted after me felino. Any way nin dude, that lightsaber doesn't have a blade and that is the whole point of this post, I don't care about the hilt I want a blade (not a cutting one, a lit up one). But anyway I already said i'm getting obi-wans force fx (which looks awesome, metal hilt, white inside the blade and blue on the outside, how it should be). I have searched enough on the internet, and havent found anything about making your own blade, so thats it! I'm giving up.

It ships to america only, and it's not really what I'm looking for. But thanks.

EDIT: I looked through the whole page, it's quite good but I'd rather get obi-wans

I'll think about it, but this isn't about the process of making something (like most portables) it's about the saber itself, so I might just get obi wans.
