| The basis for this saber design come from the original camera flash tubes used in the OT. Vader's sabers were created from a MPP (Microprecision) flash tube, although you can substitute with Heiland's if you do not want a true replica prop. |
 |
| Although, this particular saber was not created from a flash tube. It was custom machined. The body of the tube is even smaller than the normal flash tube. Flash tube's have 1 1/2" diameters, but this saber has a 1 1/4" tube. |
 |
| Most of the stunt sabers created did not even have the clamp assembly on them. |

| Final Rendering. I am hoping to build one of these too, so keep posted! |
