Lightsaber

Not sure if there's an actual thread for this, although I have searched.
How many out there have either purchased or built your own lightsabers?
I've seen many online for different prices, and I've seen plans to make your own from simple to extravagant.
I do not not would feel part of the All without one. Whether to exercise with or just simply have to mediate with.
Mine is a simple build using and old vacuum hose wand, some rubber comments and s broom handle.(photos to be posted later)
No sound, no glow in the dark, just a simple extension of my being.

Look forward to seeing it! Sometime next month I'm expecting to receive a fancy saber, but if you scroll through my images, you'll see the hilt I hold during meditation (hand made)

How do I add a photo?

I use a piece of bamboo mostly (I have two at different lengths). I do have a plastic red Darth Maul double bladed, and also a metal hilt 'skin' which I hope to build internals for one day. I use to use a weightlifting bar minus the weights, until 5 hours on a sander freaked out my elbow joint.... to build strength but ya gotta watch out for hitting yourself in the head with that!

For me the light saber means a lot. Not only can it tell intent but I use my words as my sword or my saber- how I use my words can be sharper than any sword or blade and can cause just as much damage as a a real sword if I’m not careful. The hue - the color for me was always my intentions - I’m sure at times in my path if I had a saber it would have changed colors many times - but to what is finally me today- in real life as a modern day Jeddist - I have my fair share of Star Wars light sabers purchased or found at resale shops. We got the classics in plastic fun duel form. The toys that take a bit of play and won’t break - lol. As a student of fencing I find my self at a fancy for the old forms now. I’m at a point in my life - gym time may never be again something I can have and that’s ok but I will tell you this - there are a few cedar sticks cut to about that long - along with a few ginkgo branches - a few bamboo all at that length that can fluidly be extended about that far. Truthfully I found this Dooku looking branch I keep and like to handle often - it’s about that long too... I don’t carry a lightsaber as much as I actually carry around a cedar stick very often... not like Yoda. Most of the time like a baseball bat. ( it’s my favorite sport to play)

For my part, I have been making mine for some time, I will put a photo quickly.

I'm just starting to understand why so many Temple goers are fascinated with lightsabers. One day I might get one, too. Depends on how my studies go

I personally own two. My first was green and based on Cal's from Fallen Order and my new one is my quote unquote yellow "personal" one. Meaning it's the one I may customize in the future.

So much for me. All handmade except that of Yoda and Kilo Ren on the right.
