    *Soundboard solution:* Grab yourself one of those plastic toy Disney Rey lightsabers. No one is buying them so you can typically find one at a Target for around 15.00 - 20.00 and just break it open and take the soundboard out of that. They actually sound pretty good if you swap the speaker it comes with and have sounds for clashing and swinging around the lightsaber. Plus they are super tiny and fit into just about anything.

      brianr101010: I made the same remark out loud at my iPad when he said that in the video as well! What was used is a 3-cell Graflex flashgun, that you would commonly see being used by NEWS photographers in or around the 1940’s. The cameras in question, the flashgun was the long, vertical and cylindrical tube that most photographers would grasp with their right hand in holding the camera!

      Cosplayers and hardcore Star Wars fanatics still poach graflexes to make authentic prop lightsaber replicas from the flashgun. As a person that appreciates and owns several antique cameras, I am upset that prices for antique graflexes have spiked due to the poaching of the flashguns to make authentic props. They don't make analog cameras as good as they did in the 1940's, and fans ruin it without thinking they could use alternatives like the tutorial in this video to make a replica without destroying antique photo equipment.

      "Luke's was built from the flash attachment of a Graflex 3 cell unit, while Vader's was made from a different flash attachment - a British 3-cell MPP Microflash..
      All the other lightsabers we see are made from scratch.. The originals from 1977 are the camera flashguns, with bits of windscreen wiper blade glued on.

Currently my idea is using 2 different sized polycarbonate tubes with black tinted cellophane in the center one and clear in the outer one, letting the single LED, not yet sure on my color choice, be there to try and light through it all.
      Would love to see yours just if anything to see how the blade looks.

    • @iguanian
      @iguanian 7 лет назад +13

      As a maker and having been on both sides of the teacher/participant exchange, it is difficult to not say "okay", "uh-huh", etc. since you don't know what questions to ask with a new project and you're just absorbing the information. But I am sure as a RUclips host you're used to the comment section and people focusing on any mistakes (real or perceived). :-)

    • @davidnguyen6823
      @davidnguyen6823 7 лет назад +4

      Yeah me too and it's not meant in a bad way it was just a fun thing to point out and I'm still in school today and whenever the teacher says we have to write a novel and such she always points out that we should remember not to always start a line with "And then this happened" etc

    This is what I like to see, making them from scratch. Sure, there are several places to buy pre-built sabers, but making it yourself from scratch really gives you a unique, and customized saber, and allows you to know the ins and outs of your own build so later you can repair it if damaged (and you *should* be smacking your friends with it, etc., so damage will happen over time).
    Great video, great quality components, absolutely awesome!

    Tip for cleaner threads: turn the tap CCW a half turn every 2 turns CW, to break the chips... otherwise the aluminum can load up on the tap and gall to itself, peeling off some of the threads, which allows the screw to strip out the remaining threads easier.

    The original props didn't actually use windshield wiper blades for the grips. That's misinformation that's been spread around. They were hard rubber tracks (called a "T-strip" by the original prop maker) commonly believed to be used for sliding cabinet doors

    • @commscan314
      @commscan314 3 года назад

      Guys in 2000 had figured that out, just thinking they were plastic and not rubber. Interesting how a lot of Star Wars prop knowledge came from forum boards back in the late 90s from movie screenshots, publicity photos, and so on.

    Another great video. Quick question, would there be any problem taking the sound board out of a light saber toy? I found one on Amazon for $16 that (apparently) detects motion and collision and has the built in speaker. Does this sound like a viable option for those of us on a budget?

    • @alexpjp9082
      @alexpjp9082 7 лет назад +9

    • @BeyondGeek

    • @brickdaddiy
      @brickdaddiy 7 лет назад +9

      I've tried that with those $3 wall mart light sabers. You have to be careful cause the wiring is pretty brittle, so it's easy to break. But, if you keep it intact it would be easy to fit a soundboard from a toy saber into this
