"I see you have constructed a new lightsaber. Your skills are complete, indeed you are powerful as the Emperor has foreseen."
Oh this? i got this from ebay actually.
-Some Unkown Jedi
"I see Obi-Wan has taught you well"
For anyone curious, the belt clips in the prequel movies were covertec wheels used for camera equipment originally I believe. You can get one with a screen accurate belt hanger for between $15-20. Also most saber part stores carry a WIDE variety of wheels that work with the belt hanger.
For my lightsaber I incorporated a loop at the base to connect it easier.
Yes.. They were and continue to be Covertec wheels and belt clips.
😲
I need to re-tap mine. But thankfully, I bought a pommel from someone who added a D-ring so I could still hang it
I thought it was for pagers?
Makes sense that it's a blue saber since it's linked to the Obi Wan show, but man that green section really makes me wish it was green. Either way great build, you make it look so easy.
I like it when lightsaber hilts look home made cause padawans are literally supposed to build their own lightsaber from scratch.
This is pretty much what they did in the 70's when creating props for star wars, not just the lightsabers but they are the best example of the team just finding parts that fit together and making it work
Hi Odin! I also make lightsabers and I’ve been watching you for a long time. I have found that a trans white blade is much better than the clear blade. It makes the blade look fuller, brighter, and more realistic
Trans white is not as easy to find at plastic shops. But yes!
@@OdinMakes You can also fake it by lining the inside of the tube with tracing paper
Remember seeing 4,5 and 6 when they first came out. Nothing like seeing something like Star wars in a theater full of Sailors several comments on the Canteen scene were "I think Ive been to that place once on shore leave".
CRISTOPH GETTING THAT SINISTER SHOUT OUT! 👏👏👏
Yes! The dude is cool!
No way! I thought I would never meet another Odin, and props to you on the lightsaber.
When you started hitting your head with it I nearly spat my coffee out ha !
I have only been working with metal lathes, mills, and other fab equipment for a short while, and so naturally I watch a ton of machining vids. Yet nothing, and I mean nothing, is more magical than watching Odin piece together such great works with spare parts. 10/10, best content on youtube.
I like it how as he gives some of these amazing creations away, he records it so if any errors happen ever, it shows how to repair it quickly.
6:25 Hey man you gotta bleep that stuff out lol, now I got my living room yelling at me about screws 🤣
A fine addition to the collection. *coughs in Grievous*
The finally of Kenobi was amazing
Finale*
@@rockinHurley777 gd autocorrect lol
Very Nice! Bravo!
This is such a bad ass lightsaber I love how the hilt is super custom because that’s how Odin makes ❤️
Thanks for sharing your own star wars lightsabers and style
The beskar head bit was funny lol because me and my brother make that joke when we grab the light saber by the blade so it was nice to know we aren't carzy
Terrific! I grew up watching Star Wars, and I like the blue lightsabers! ⭐✨⚔
This Is where the fun begins
A good term for "small bits and pieces" are greeblies. On top of that if you look into the current custom lightsaber community people currently love building a full internal chassis for their electronics I've seen people put together so much detail it's insane and I've used a chassis building my own father an accurate ANH Obi-Wan hilt. Even having a crystal built into the chassis with an LED lighting up that crystal. This combined with a custom blade plug is what I used to make sure it could be completely accurate no matter how it was displayed. The price I spent for those supplies was about $500.
Now for the blade. Yeah you want to a mirror on your trip BUT you need to make sure you use the right amount and type of diffusion film. I prefer using frosted cellophane because you can get more out of it with less. Another trick I do is I sand the entire blade to help further blend the light that goes through it and makes the tip not stand out so much.
Just some advice for anyone who is interested in starting their own way down this rabbit hole.
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal" - Matthew 6:19. This world and the things in it are temporary, spend your time doing something that will matter in the long run - start sharing the gospel of Jesus. The last 3000+ years of human history have been a testimony in favor of God's word. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the son of God and can tell the future or make it happen B) The world leaders/governments/nations etc have been conspiring together to accomplish this roadmap set in place by the Israelites or C) History as we know it is fake despite the archaeological evidence. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof.
Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. The world is rapidly passing away and eventually you will have to stand before God on judgement day and explain to Him what you have done with your life. Make sure you are making every effort to help others while you can
@@FreightmareFTW I'm pagan.
@@anime-mun All of the "gods" of old are just fallen angels. There is only one true God. I would reconsider If i were you. Prophecy is unfolding right now. Whatever you do don't get those RFID chips that Sweden is testing out right now. Don't get Elon Musk's neuralink either
@@FreightmareFTW I've seen enough cyberpunk dystopian nightmare fuel to know not to do that. Still not gonna be Christian though. It's my belief that one's faith is within them from the beginning so there is no "converting". At the same time what does any of this have to do with me having built something for my father to enjoy? Sounds to me that you want to belittle the relationship I have with the man who brought me into this lifetime and that my wife helped facilitate after my mother tried to sabotage it. If you are of the mind that your prophecy is more important than my bonds with my family and how I choose to honor them then you need to rethink your priorities.
And for the record. I haven't fallen for any of the obvious scams put forth by globalist organizations either. You take care of you and yours and I will protect my own family on my own terms. Deal?
Kinda looks like a lightsaber that would be made while during Reign of the Empire. Like something the Rebellion would've made and that's something really cool.
I love it. I can die peacefully now knowing you've finally done it.
R.I.P. CrazyJman80, an excellent viewer and all around wonderful person. They will be missed.

Man you make foam crafts look easy. Always so satisfyung watching you work!
Thank you!
"Beskar headplate" thats... actually quite a good idea :D
I remember before TCSS and Padawan Outpost and the likes when people exlusively build their sabers from scrap, just like a real scavenger Jedi on the run from the Empire. Except back then they were glorified flashlights and the best we had were licensed replikas. Nowadays you can get LEDs in the blade once more, after a brief stint where the standard was still, but much brighter flashlight, and they're even brighter, with effects and in all colors, something we didn't think was possible because RGB LEDs were too dim.
And then when you had to frost your own thickwalled blade tube. And now we're using finished neopixel. The jump is astonishing.
And the Hacksmith even have real, honest to god lightsabers. What a time to be alive
Someone get this man a little lathe!
The hilt is beautiful you actually a Jedi 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I can't wait for this!
👏🏻👏🏻 Awesome work! Congratulations!
that is beautiful Odin. very nice hilt, as a lightsaber collector i love it
Right on time, been looking for a video this and saw your previous videos again yesterday.
I personally Love the Lightsaber Katana that Man at Arms Reforged made But you did a Great job on yours to Oden 👍👍.
Another amazing build Odin. Well done. And hope to see Lego soon.
Thank you! I am planning my next one.
AWESOME!!
This was so cool!
Awesome job
Awesome lightsabers
That's is an absolutely gorgeous hilt, good work, your training is now complete, by the right of the council, my the will of the force, rise, Jedi Knight
Your really good on building
Awesome!! It looks really good and I like how it's actual metal and all found parts and pieces. The green is a nice touch and I don't think there's another green hilt lightsaber in Star Wars. It'd be really cool to own so fingers crossed!
I like watching your prop replica builds but I think it'd be a cool idea to make original props like this, too!
Oden, the yellow glasses things were sweet. Could we get another lightsaber made of PVC and PEX? The hilt of pvc fittings. Something the kids can bang against a pole and not break? Ive seen a few hacks about but was looking for an everyday mom and pop build. Drill, hacksaw, maybe a frying pan or toaster, common everyday tools.
Funny...when I look up the drill size for an 8-32 tap, I get a #29. The "mushroom thing and belt clip" is called a covertec ring. Pretty standard part.
Awesome video and install build. 🔥🔥🔥
that looks freaking awesome!!
Thank you!
This looks sick! Actually been thinking about making a lightsaber for a cosplay of the ronin from star wars visions and the novel of the same name. I love your design!
I seriously hope Ryobi is sponsoring you by now!
Your skills are now complete.
NICE! I see a lot of Kanan resemblance on it! I LIKE IT!!!
Very cool lightsaber. Green is my favorite, specifically that shade of green used in this build is my favorite color. As always, Odin,you've knocked this one out of the ballpark!
Thank you Bill!
@@OdinMakes my pleasure, sir. This past week I had the pleasure of meeting Bob, from I Like to Make Things. We briefly discussed prop building and quite a few CZcams Prop Builder heavyweights came up in conversation, including you. I'm inspired all the things you guys create. I'm wanting to get into prop building myself, so I'm definitely learning all I can from all of you guys. Cheers!
Make me a purple elemental nature lightsaber.
He's the man!
Bout time Odin!
I love it. I would like to see, a Lego glow stud, build. It could be made out of, acrylic cast in a silicone mold.
moving on from ultrasabers parts is growth.... love that for you odinsan
Love you Odin you are such an interesting and lovely soul ❤️
Thank you!
Odin you make the best stuff and was wondering if you were putting anything else up would love to have one of your sabers!
I built my own Lightsaber about a year ago and proudly display it mounted on my wall.
Awesome!
I would like to see other types of light sabers like a wookie one. How about a light saber cane?
Yoda had a lightsaber cane in legends
perfect.
Seond time watching and still just as good!!
Thank you Shawn!
Super cool hilt design!!
Thank you John!
Hey Odin can you make my lightsaber purple please?
LOL!!! "Beskar head plate." Once again, it's so hard to tell you're having fun! You really need to loosen up! lol 🤣
Lol, Thank you!
You set off my google home mini with your question. That is the first time it’s ever caught something from a video. I was amused. Great build!
Covertec clip is used to clip the saber to the him. The top part is the emitter and emitter and emitter shield.
Man, I get nervous every time you use that band-saw at close range. XD Sweet light-saber design though man.
I have been a fan for years and have been waiting for this video. You make this all look easy. I’ve always wanted to do something like this but never have had the time, money, resources, or patience. Keep on inspiring and keep on making.
Hey there Odin, what a great build as always. Maybe you can add Count Dooku's lightsaber to the list of the next project?
Could you make the darksaber next? I know it's easy for me to say but I'd love to see it done. Love your channel!!
I totally forgot Odin made props for smosh until he said something. How I have "He's the man!" Replaying in my head lol
Hi I wanted to say happy new years to you and your family from me and my son thanks for sharing your video with us
YES!!!
Odin, I would highly recommend you try a neopixel and proffie install on this beautiful saber. With your skills I believe you can easily do it. Soldering is involved.
such a fantastic work^^
I really enjoy #TEAMSIRODIN HIS MAKES ARE LEGENDARY and binge worthy do you have your series on dvd they should be I would buy the entire series
Watched the old Videos and now this.
Great build but for comfort I'd put a leather wrap over the open green pipe but still leave a couple gaps so that the green can show thru for a but of detail
great stuff looked like a fun build other than the battery issue
Odin, absolutely love your props. I love Batman, can you do some more Batman props? Thank you and keep up the great work
Old vacume cleaner tubes could be useful. Also vintage metal flash lights. Just things that could supplement your parts
Also cut up bicycle handlebar handles glued on make good grips.
Top tip if anyone wants to make their own lightsaber, and like Odin don't have a metal lathe handy. You can use a pipe cuter on the metal tube, and just not cut the whole way through. This gives you nice groves that adds to the look.
Kinda cool how the bottom part of the hilt looks like a mini Lego lightsaber hilt.
Nice job Odin,
Thank you James!
Tis a fine sabre you have made. Greeblies and Nurnies are a vital part of the look and feel of a sabre, and yours has some great ones. Nice junk drawer sabre build. The only change I would make would be to use "fun foam" foam sheet to make a non-metallic grip. I have a pair of Chinese sabres headed for the Geeklair, and hopefully greebling it up will be uneventful. I would add a belt connector wheel, but unfortunately I have no idea where there would be a safe spot on the hilt to put it. So my non-working hilts will remain on my belt.
Honestly I wish you had a channel just making lightsabers as these are just better than others.
Oh I just thought of a name for a channel "Odin's saber shop"
I fully endorse this as cannon over disney stuff
For realistic welds, you can get a 3d pen and filament
Would love to see you do count dookus lightsaber!
Would still love to see you make the blade from malignant!
I’d love to see you tackle Dirty Harry’s revolver and Auto Mag pistol
You definitely set off my Google Home... nice.
Great and awesome lightsaber, Odin!! It's too bad you don't accept contestants from Canada.
Now we need lightsaber fully from foam

Haha @rogerklotz
Your a great person
it looks fucking horrible poor design boring as fuck
Hey Odin, Can I ask you a Question, I received a very 'strange' comment with your image on it and its saying that I was selected to be the Grand Prize Winner and is telling me to send them a message via the above number, I am a 'little' skeptical about this Number and the username is called WhatsApp, Did you send me this Message?
This guy has the coolest name.
Hey, I found out a way to make an easy lightsaber. You can go to your local hardware store, like Home Depot. In the plumbing section, there will be pipes and screws and a lot more where you don't have to glue them together, you can just assemble it. For the blade on the other hand, you can buy them at a hardware store to, but it'll be expensive. But I found some cheap blades/clear pipes that you can buy. And for the light that comes out of the blade, just buy some LEDs.
That's what I did for my first Lightsaber, built it from a sink tube that I got from a Home Depot or Lowes and got the LED and Blade from the CustomSaberShop and the battery holder, resistors, and switches from Radio Shack before they closed up shop and for a time I figured how put in the toy saber soundboard into it, but now my newest sink tube saber is using a MUCH better soundboard that I got off of ebay, I think its the same soundboard that Saberforge uses the Sabercore soundboard.
Where did you find the cheap clear blades?
Seeing you build the light saber for some reason made me think of the donkey Kong barrel you made a while back
It would be kind of cold to put the two together and make a steam punk R2 unit
SHEEEEEEEEEESH it looks sooo cool B)
Hi Odin! This tutorial really helped me. I hope you make more videos like this one!
Using random pieces found is literally what the very first Star Wars did in terms of the lightsaber designed
You could make a shoto saber out of the shorter tube
