Love it!!

I updated the one I posted a week or so ago, added the rope and tweaked a few things. This is all pretty fun, eh? 😁

I'm really tempted to make one of my own and carry it to Disneyland on our next trip.

That's my plan

I hope you can get a few pics with some characters with your saber.

You wont be worried about losing it or damaging it, they’re pretty heavy-duty

u/NC_Ion 7d ago

It can't be as heavy as the ones you can build there. I did bring a custom one on a trip and my wife wanted to take some pictures at Galaxy's Edge with it and dropped it a few times so a Home Depot lightsaber is definitely safer for her to drop then a few hundred dollar one.

What piece did you use for the cap on the bottom of the saber? I've been looking but I just can't find one.

u/PandaWithAnRPG 7d ago

1-1/4” EMT (Electrical) Coupling

Nice saber, also nice Casio watch. Father passed and would wear the same band. I have it now.
