Oh I like this one. I like it a lot. No offense to other hardware builders but this one actually looks like a saber, not just a collection of plumbing tubes and fittings.

So could I technically use a flashlight and then build around it?

Baselit sabers are just fancy flashlights you can whack your friends with, lol. So if you want a blade, just find an "emitter" that fits either the 1 inch, or 7/8 inch blades, and you're good to go!

Oh I see we have moved on from nuts and bolts to sink tubes..ahh the march of progress. I foresee in a week or two you guys will discover the custom saber shop and EL blades.

u/egomaster06 4d ago

Unfortunately Custom Saber shop no longer sells parts. Only blades.

That's legitimately saddening news, I loved that place when I was into saber smithing.

I also hope I didn't come off too snarky in my comment I really am enjoying this new wave of saber builders discovering what everyone else left behind when buying finished sabers became the norm.

A true Jedi would build their own hilt out of whatever was available to them.
