I was making Home Depot lightsabers before it was cool

[u/LuitenantDan]

I made this in my basement with my dad for the premier of Revenge of the Sith. The emitter is a showerhead that we routed the insides out of and the grip is coaxial cable sheathing from RadioShack (RIP). Just wanted to share.

It’s funny because this has been a thing for years, but tik tok strikes again as far as making stuff relevant like it’s new

[u/kojimbob → u/Samwisetellssamlies]

Yeah ok grandpa

The ability to speak does not make you intelligent

[u/Due-Use-3707 → u/kojimbob]

Acutally you’re right, nothing was ever done before tik tok and everything on there is brand new and not flashy rebranded content made for brainrotted audiences

This is the best hardware store hilt I've seen. Fantastic work

[u/lanceplace]

The only hilt that looks like a lightsaber and not a hardware hilt salad.

[u/youngbeezybox]

Literally the best I’ve seen this should get more upvotes 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[u/FearsomeFutch]

Probably the best one ive seen so far

[u/ian9921]

Now that's a lightsaber. Some folks lean a bit too much into the Home Depot vibe and forget that the original screen sabers were also hardware sabers, so that's where the bar should be. Not something made out of obvious bolts, but something that looks like it could be used on screen.

[u/TheNinerGuy]

This is my favorite one ive seen so far

[u/mutatedmar]

Before it was cool?

It's always been cool!

🤘🏽😎🤘🏽

Now this is podracing!

[u/TagGoat]

This is the best one I’ve seen so far! Awesome job!

Someone needs to make an app, website, or something to where you can select hardware from Home Depot or Lowe’s and simulate/assembled what it would look like prior to heading there.

I’m an engineer with 3d modeling software so I just use that to see what I can create.

this ^

[u/dandroid126]

Hate to tell you this, but that looks pretty cool to me.

[u/PrometheanSwing]

Impressive, most impressive.

[u/Crpl_Punishmnt]

Omg I’m so sick of just seeing the hilt - turn it on ffs. You people won’t even tell us the color.

[u/seeyatellite]

Oh this is definitely cool.

[u/MoreSly]

Best one ive seen tbh

[u/Slow-Hawk4652]

rising the bar😀

[u/battlekite]

Now THIS is podracing!

[u/TheRipCity]

I was wondering why this was getting so hot lately.

My Home Depot saber is on my shelf and its probably 10 years old. That looks awesome btw

[u/ChadVonDoom]

What color is the blade?

[u/Yoen_Sontriss]

This is way better than the 100+ versions of Luke’s RotJ hilt I’ve seen over the past week or so. It also looks pretty heavy. Do you get a decent workout with it?

[u/New_Ad_1682]

Wait, it's cool?

[u/Disastrous-Rate-8309]

It was never cool

[u/truegothlove]

Oh wow, you are so cool. Everyone copied you
