I thought the thumbnail was clickbait, but it turns out that this is just an amazing prop tutorial! I'm subscribing, and I may make one of these myself!
I know this is not screen accurate, but I'm not complaining. This is the nicest PVC/Hardware Store Lightsaber I have ever seen! I will definitely be following your tutorial to make my own, thanks HappyTrooper!
Zedrick were u successful in making it¿
I mean it’s pretty screen accurate compared to buying A $300 ultra saber that don’t make them exactly like the ones in the movie. And the Disney ones are cool but they are not bright or loud. So this is perfect imo especially for making a film which is what I will be doing
It honestly doesnt matter if it is not, i mean its close enough and well its really the effort of making it yourself that counts the most.
He always makes quality props
when this build was finished i smiled thankyou happytrooper for putting a smile on my face
i friggin love the price to quality ratio here, it looks ready for close-up shots! 11/10, amazing work
Bro your enjoyable to listen to. Kind, curtious and very informative. I'm catching this video 5yrs after it's posted but it's awesome. If your still dropping videos I hope your style hasn't changed.
happy trooper can you make an Obi-Wan style light Saber with parts from a home improvement store
YES!!!! That would be legit!!!
The trick with the graphite is intriguing, I've always thought that you couldn't get a pvc hilt to look like metal no matter what you try--thanks for proving me wrong.
Hello Katie, thank you for watching and leaving a comment. I'm now a believer in this method. I saw someone make a very convincing plastic old west rifle on therpf.com (prop forum) using graphite powder. I gave it a try and I really like: 1) how easy it is to do and 2) how convincing it looks. As you probably know, its tough to get a realistic metallic finish with spray cans. Airbrush is a different story. For ease of use, and for looks, graphite powder is great for props!
Perfect static prop. Like to see a electronics and blade friendly dueling version.
This is the channel I'm looking for.
You should do this for all the main character lightsabers
This really reminds me of a webpage called "Lightsabers from the Big Yellow Box". That webpage is now 20 years old (Tripod Domain!) and reminds me when I was a Kid trying to build my own Lightsaber.
Great Channel!
We featured this video in our Star Wars episode of 'DIY Top 5', check it out!
Thanks for promoting my video, much appreciated! Sub'd!
Is anyone else one of those people that watch hours of diy videos never having any intent on doing any of them
At first, I didn't have that intent, but I thought I would would try to do one.
I just watch them to get ideas for when I eventually do my own with my own design
Wtf no entiendo ni mier..
I’m doing this to research making hits
This is the worst video I have ever seen.
Very cool. Well done, I really like your step by step process.
This is an amazing video. Started to get parts and build. Going to insert blade/ LED from another video and hopefully sound if I can afford it. Thanks.. great ideas!! Good job sir!!
Drone Zoom hey, was it able to fit a blade for combat? Would love to make it
Hey can you pls say how can I fit a saber in this?
Great project to do with your little kids that like to cosplay and go out on Halloween and trick or treat ad Kylo Ren. Although it isn't exactly like the movie version it is close and your little kid will love it especially if you both make it together. Nice job.
Dammit, now I want to see Adam Driver marching into Home Depot.
I lvoe that these tutorials show your step by step process. Too many prop tutorials on youtube edit too much to stay condensed but in turn lose its information. 10/10 will make.
Just used this tutorial to make my own lightsaber hilt! Honestly the patterns and this whole tutorial were so helpful. I had to make a few adjustments just because of the availability of parts at my local stores, but it worked so well! I'm adding actual blades onto my saber as well to add to the awesomeness. But anyway, amazing tutorial! Thanks for posting it!
That looks excellent! No sloppy short cuts, just some really good work.
You have mad skills my friend,...
This video is so cool I love all the VFX shots even though there simple
Hey man. I appreciate you doing these videos. I also appreciate your step by step instructions. These make a perfect gift for my little brother. He's an up and coming Star Wars fan boy like myself
great instructions not rushed at all. Well done.
Great job. Great videos. I would love to see you take a shot at Luke's lightsaber from Return of the Jedi.
When you got started and I saw PVC I was thinking "oh god, not another cheap model" turns out looking really good. With enough inspiration any light saber can be built with this technique and look fairly good.
Wow! You sir, are a master of your craft. This is an excellent step-by-step tutorial video on building an outstanding looking hilt piece; you seem to have thought of every aspect of the build and included it in your guide. Here is a Jabba-sized thumbs up and may the Force be with you .............. always. :-D
Thank you for the very kind words Dude Ster! I appreciate it, thank you for watching. MTFBWY as well my friend!
Your ingenuity is astounding! Bravo, my good trooper!
Nice job and I like the storm trooper suit
I only now discovered your channel and you put thousands of creators to shame :o
Great instruction! I made a single blade variant for my TLJ opening costume. Turned out great. Thanks for making these. Keep up the good work!
This is the best Kylo Ren lightsaber hilt tutorial there is!
Hey @Happytrooper I wanted to say thank you. I used this video to make a Kylo’s lightsaber for my friend. It turned out really good!
Amazing presentation. Clear instructions and the end product looks killer!
Great video and very clear instructions
Thank you for such an easy to follow video for a beginner maker like myself! I'm going to make this Kylo Ren prop hilt for my nephew for Christmas, now I just need to find an easy to follow idea for my niece's gift, lol! Instant like, follow and now subscriber!
🖖🤓👌🗂🗓📐✂️🧰🧬🧫🧴☢💯
the force is strong with this one .... thanks for share
THIS IS GENIUS AT ITS FINEST!!!
Once again your video is super awesome and inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing how you build this and other props. This turned out really awesome. Look forward to more video's in the future.
Looks so cool, amazing job! Just need the burnt metal effect
Yo your vids are great and I appreciate them. You’ve inspired me, thank you. Try a yoda and/or obi wan style lightsaber
Amazing build and great step by step instructions.
This looks really great for a roughly $40 build! it looks like it would be easy to install a combat blade as well!
old school prop making for the win!
This is really high quality
i smiled more than 20 times cuz of that video and ow it's edited , really appreciate the effort that was put in it
This was so cool! You did an amazing job! Well done!
these videos are great, they are easily done, with relatively cheap and accessible tools and material, could you please take a shot at a DLT-19 or a A280C, thanks!
this is awesome you need to be so much more popular
The light saber is so cool
*Disney has entered the chat*
Hahaha! Jokes aside! This is amazing man! Thanks for making this video!
Hey Happy Trooper!! Just wanted to say thanks for the KyLoRen Templates. Just finished mine and its personal, a little different and perfect. Thanks a million looks great! Any other templates wold be great!!
One trick you can do to get blades is before you put in the conduit, drill a hole in the middle. Since the conduit is 1/2 inch, try making the holes big enough to fit a 1/4 wooden dowel or a PVC pipe. As far as the cross blades (or exhaust ports), either edit that in post or get pipe or dowels short enough to stick out. The only part that maybe difficult would be blade retention so that when you're dueling it won't fly out. Also, blade retention on this design might not make it as aesthetically pleasing.
FULL SIZE R2D2 DRUID MAKING IN METAL PARTS!
Sir you are truly amazing
totally going to build this this weekend.
I've been waiting for this HappyTrooper. Thank you.
That looks Amazing. Thank You, will be trying it.
Wow that looks amazing
Everyday I pray to god that one day there will be a happy trooper graflex lightsaber tutorial........
This lightsaber was amazing all my kylo REN lightsabers were just paper and it kept bending I’m gonna follow this tutorial and try to make it thx happytrooper
awsome build
This is really quite amazing extreamly accurate great tutorial I'll be sure to try it
Does anyone else get almost a prop making ASMR vibe from this
Saludos HappyTrooper.
Buen trabajo, los acabados son muy buenos y la idea es genial.
Me gustaría verla con luz.
Suerte y que la fuerza te acompañe|||
Greetings HappyTrooper.
Good job, the finishes are very good and the idea is great.
I would like to see it with light.
Luck and may the force be with you |||
At least he not one of those RUclipsrs who say “we’re going to make a lightsaber with out buying anything” and the first thing they do is buy something
When you doubt happy trooper for one minute and watch his video then find out it really wasn’t clickbait.
Wow that is very nice
Could we get more saber builds please? Maybe some metal hilts?
AMAZING WORK MAN! Hello from Brazil. ;)
this is super cool thanks
ThIS IS AMAZING how have I just discovered you
Great video! Please do one for Darth nihilus!
Great tutorial! Well done.
Can you make a darksaber? Plz
great work
Great Job, thanks!
Sick build bro
That looks great! Awesome work
ima do this, I work at a hardware store which will make it easy to get everything
Ortega727 you mean steal?
Red Ripple I believe the proper term is "employee discount"
great tutorial
Please Happy Trooper, make an Obi-Wan style lightsaber!
I love Happy Trooper!
Dude... That's Awesome....!
John Brooks +1
Great video! I hope you'll consider doing some original trilogy builds, like Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker in the future.
Hello, thank you for watching and leaving a comment :) Luke Skywalker's saber is on the to-do list. I did try to do a Vader-like saber, that video is here: ruclips.net/video/P6kg_dM6KsY/видео.html I like your channel, I am learning Affinity Designer, just subscribed to you :) Keep up the great work!
HappyTrooper Thanks! I'm looking forward to the next saber video. Reach out any time and check out my blog for more. :)
A PVC cutting tool would only cost about $7 to $10 bucks and the best part is you would save finish time by making a clean and smooth cut.
Most impressive
HappyTrooper is the Best!!!
Awesome videos! Any chance you could make a Galen Marek/Starkiller lightsaber From The Force Unleashed? He’s my favorite character! Thank you!
Great build, although cross price doesn't look right, the little pieces in the middle should be silver, and the big one should be gold... I still liked it. I think next you should do Count Duku or Obi Wan Kenobi.
Nice job...!!!!!!
I thought it would release beams of fire
This was a great build. How would u build dark vader's or vader's armor
It looks realistic.
outstanding job. was the graphite the same stuff locksmiths use to lube locks. I ask because that's the only kind I know. Thanks
Hello, thank you for watching, and for the nice comment. It is my understanding that locksmith graphite and artists graphite is the same thing. Graphite :-) I purchased a jar from Amazon for 12$ an it goes a LONG way. I have used it for: a Tusken Sniper scope, this hilt, Han Solo blaster, Princess Leia blaster, and a scratch-built T-21. I still have well over 3/4 of the jar left. If you get some graphite for prop weathering, I recommend getting a jar like this amzn.to/2ingBvE The little locksmith tubes may not have enough? Good luck on your build!
this is sick
Great work. I've been getting into lightsaber prop building recently, as the weather has kept me indoors. I am a blacksmith usually, so this is a nice break from the heat. :) Your tutorials are awesome. Really. I owe you credit to the first one I made and game away as a birthday gift (though I am not big into making PVC 'blades'...just the hilts). I was wondering though: Can you do a tutorial on how to make Kylo Ren's hilt using metal materials like sink piping, electronics misc., etc.?? That would be epic. I am currently doing that myself, and I would relish the chance to see how the master does it! :D
Thank you very much for the kind words! I think the next step into these tutorials for me is to start integrating some electronics (lights/sounds). I have to be honest, I need to learn about that stuff. After I finish up this DLT-19 prop/tutorial, I will start looking into integrating electronics. Thanks for watching!
Bruh, I legit thought this was clickbait but you just made an amazing frickin prop.
Never doubt the mad skillz of the happy Trooper
Great tutorial!
I liked all of it except the cross guard.
