My first attempt was to make one of PVC. I'm a graphic artist. I deal with all my artwork on Photoshop and Illustrator not "real life" stuff. So this was a new stretch for me. I made a Photoshop version of what I was attempting. That was so much easier then the first one. I won't bore you with the details of how bad the PVC one turned out. Half way through it I realized that I wasn't happy with it so I called it my first attempt.
I ended up buying one of the kid's one. Darth Vader of course. It's lights up and has sound. I also bought a resign lightsaber hilt from MegaCon which is still sitting on my shelf untouched. I'm not to savvy of a painter either. Further down the line I bought they cheap twin ones that light up. They remember of glow stick wars when I act light I know how to sword fight.
Once again, thanks to Jeremy, he sent me some links to a how to site along with a video on how to build a light saber.

After yelling for 30 minutes because he knew I'd try to make this and then making sure he had all the tools I set about making a shopping list. Off to Lowes the next day. After spending $45, I was set and ready to make my own lightsaber out of chrome extension pipes. I borrowed a pipe cutter from Jeremy and a drimmel. That weekend I took the pieces to my dad's to cut out the handle grips and the emitter tubing. By the nights end I had everything glued together. I had done what every Jedi has done. Made my own lightsaber, with the exception of no blade, nor lights, or sound. But I have the hilt. I didn't know I could make something like this. I will have this as part of my costume for SWCV.
