*Soundboard solution:* Grab yourself one of those plastic toy Disney Rey lightsabers. No one is buying them so you can typically find one at a Target for around 15.00 - 20.00 and just break it open and take the soundboard out of that. They actually sound pretty good if you swap the speaker it comes with and have sounds for clashing and swinging around the lightsaber. Plus they are super tiny and fit into just about anything.
Reys lightsaber? You mean Anakins lightsaber
@@sag6445 Thats what they are advertised as anyways but no one likes rey so they don't buy them
@@Eyebrows842 lmfao
*anakin lightsabers
Anakins lightsaber
I followed this tutorial to the letter and just left out the soundboard and made an awesome saber for $75
Thanks Odin & Beyond Geek!!!
"YOUR LIGHTSABER WILL MAKE A FINE ADDITION TO MY COLLECTION."
This video is full of lies, I can't cut younglings in half with this!
Master Skywalker, There are too many of them What are we going to do?
@@veqqz4184 Fucking awesome!
You can if you hit hard enough
Well no shit you don't say
We know it's not a real lightsaber. That's the point! The title says Combat Ready, so the whole video is a lie!!!!!
"i'm ready to complete my jedi training" *holds lightsaber by blade* :P
Genius!
Next up on the show, "build your own sci-fi larp ready prosthetics"
Ready to start your training
I do that to assert dominance over others.
DORKA DORKA
Take one of those $12.00 lightsabers from Toys R Us and just rip the sound board out of it. It's MUCH cheaper to do it that way.
What’s toys r us?
Hahahaha with $200 i ll just spend it in a cool replica. I just saw a video of 1 lightsaber that have many color lights and differents sounds choices just in 1 saber.
@Gamer Stavros r/wooosh
@bonkerville Target used to (they probably still do) sell cheap lightsabers. Walmart might also sell them as well. Or you could order one online.
@bonkerville it reopened Fucker
That girl either knew exactly what was going on or absolutely nothing and I can’t tell which one.
Either way she'll learn.
I like how at 4:00 in Odin politely asks her how many inches she wants.
Standard level 1 blade
@@joshuacrabtree747 I still fall short
He also tells her to "just touch the tip" to make it hot.
Top 10 lines said while "screwing around"
AyyitsJoshua 02
That part made me cringe a bit
I find your resourcefulness to be most impressive.
She says ok 83 times
Thank you for counting, I stopped at 53 to read the comments.
Damnit! Because of you I will smirk everytime she sais ok!!!
This comment has 83 likes now
lol this has 83 likes
What about "Ah huh"?
Odin is freaking awesome with these props
You can't get aluminum in the UK. Could i use aluminium instead?.
no.
No.
I'm from the U.S. but I get it. Yes, aluminium is just fine. Also, it's more plentiful as it's readily available all over the world except in the U.S. and Canada.
Yoshi, its a pronunciation joke.
U.s. Al-oom-in-umm
U.k. Al-oo-min-i-um
Close, in the UK we say it more like Al-you-mini-um.
The first 'U' is a hard one, not soft like how American's say it.
Take a shot everytime she says "okay"
She says it around 70 times
Ragearmy ! Alcohol poisoning ftw
Ragearmy ! I don't want to die.... like that
I know a few things i could do to her in that 5 minutes
5 min and I'm DRUNK
I used a sound board from an old lightsaber toy. be careful though the wiring is thin and easily breakable but was able to make it work and I now have a black lightsaber blade.
Paul the mountain man cool u have the first darksaber!
Is there a video of pic of this? I saw this video and also thought of trying to make a saber designed off the Lifegiver or Orgus Din's lightsaber from SWTOR and also thought of how to make a Black Core blade. Currently my idea is using 2 different sized polycarbonate tubes with black tinted cellophane in the center one and clear in the outer one, letting the single LED, not yet sure on my color choice, be there to try and light through it all.
Would love to see yours just if anything to see how the blade looks.
If you want something with more performance ultrasabers let's you buy parts
would be easy enough to swap out the wiring for something more robust if you so chose
Paul Greth like the mandalorion leader I don’t think I spelled that right
Not so easy to do w/o all the expensive tools though.
@Dirtyd23 Would still end up on something like 100 Euros thought so that kinda sucks. Will still build it but I won't have any use for the tools besides the drill.
most places rent tools
Substitute the aluminum tube with PVC pipe and spray paint! Easy to cut and still looks fine.
Check kijiji, or your local fliers for chopsaws. Harbour Freight or Princess Auto sells them for $75.00 on sale. A drill and bits will run under $100.00. The rest of the stuff is cheap. Don't build obstacles, build solutions.
@@BenTheBeanYT yeah if you want a light piece of junk. I'm subbing out aluminum tubing for steel electrical, tad bit heavier(not much considering the hilt is only like 18 inches) but I weld so I can make my hilt bad ass and add more detail
Odin's my hero.
Let’s not forget the “mhmm’s” “uh huh’s” and “alright’s”.. okay
Excellent
TriniDiddy HS and “got it”
M'kay
okay
Tip for cleaner threads: turn the tap CCW a half turn every 2 turns CW, to break the chips... otherwise the aluminum can load up on the tap and gall to itself, peeling off some of the threads, which allows the screw to strip out the remaining threads easier.
CCW? CW?
There are so many tutorials out there that make it seem super complex with loads of speciality parts but that's why I love Odin, he makes quality stuff but makes it seem achievable for the average joe.
You sir, would make an awesome shop class teacher. Great video! The teacher I had literally drilled through his hand as he was holding the piece. Thx fir sharing!!! 🖖🏼👽
“Part of becoming a Jedi is creating your own lightsaber to fight off minions of the darkness”
I didn’t know there were lightsabers in Destiny lol
Rey: Am I a joke to you?
MrParkerman6 yes
@@thinkingmachine354 lol
Awesome tutorial! Also, this dude seems like he would be cool to hang out with lol
Thanks! And yes, Odin is pretty dang cool to hang out with!
Imagine you guys at the bar talking about lightsabers, some drunk random girl walks up and asks what you guys are talking about..
And reply "Jedi business, go back to your drinks"
This is what I like to see, making them from scratch. Sure, there are several places to buy pre-built sabers, but making it yourself from scratch really gives you a unique, and customized saber, and allows you to know the ins and outs of your own build so later you can repair it if damaged (and you *should* be smacking your friends with it, etc., so damage will happen over time).
Great video, great quality components, absolutely awesome!
I want this man as my teacher, he's doing God's work!
Won't lie, that's really damn cool :) I'm gonna have to try this someday for a custom blade.
I mean as far as light-sabers go this one is actually pretty cool looking and realistic and doesn't completely look like a toy...
Wow! Great! As a teacher myself, I really loved this. Good job!
I'm screaming internally every time that dude runs his hands and fingers all over those rough cuts
That was AWESOME!!!!!
I filled a glass of coke and took a sip every time she said ok...
almost 7 minutes in I finished the glass...
So cool.
I enjoy this team, they should do more builds together.
Can anyone tell me how many times she says "Okay"?
Uh huh
David Nguyen 😂 dead. I was thinking the same thing. I'll have to extend my affirmative vocabulary for any future OdinMakes sessions...and life in general. I'll start practicing my Yep, Yawp, Yar, Noyce, and Oohs of wonderment post haste. 👍🏻
Haha okay since I had nothing to do I counted and it got up to minimum 70 times that u said "Okay" and just "okay" not even "mhm" and such
As a maker and having been on both sides of the teacher/participant exchange, it is difficult to not say "okay", "uh-huh", etc. since you don't know what questions to ask with a new project and you're just absorbing the information. But I am sure as a TH-cam host you're used to the comment section and people focusing on any mistakes (real or perceived). :-)
Yeah me too and it's not meant in a bad way it was just a fun thing to point out and I'm still in school today and whenever the teacher says we have to write a novel and such she always points out that we should remember not to always start a line with "And then this happened" etc
There are a lot if ways to construct a lightsaber, but this is how Oden makes!
Coolest guy ever. Period!!
great vid well done
We're glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Accidentally closed my other comment before finished, wanted to say they used a different item to start but I really like how yours is done.
Cool. Next DIY the soundboard.
Yoda has a Shoto lightsaber, Shoto lightsabers we’re smaller then regular sabers, with the blade extending 18”. A 32” blade was a standard size as was 38”.
Built her own Lightsaber. Her training is now complete. =oD
The look on her face when he shot down the dance party though 😂😂
Your awesome and Odin is really awesome
Cool will definitely try
Lmao the funniest thing is, even if you take those 12 dollar lightsabers and rip out the soundboard, the cost of all the parts is already over 100 dollars. I am currently trying to build a lightsaber from scratch using this video, but what I've found is that many of the electronical parts from LED supply actually changed their names, or no longer carry the item. I've been forced to use Amazon to get many of the parts, and while this is not bad, they are much more expensive. The polycarbonate tubing is over 30 dollars, and all the electronics together cost $53.68. I still believe that I can build it, its just a bit more expensive than what I had prepared for. Hope this helps for anybody who wants to undergo a project like this.
If you don't plan on dueling, you could probably cut down on costs significantly by just making an empty, but still able to be thoroughly disassembled hilt so you could add a soundboard later.
Brittni did a pretty good job soldering for a beginner :)
Great video. And she was cute, like Princess Leia 😊
Love it!!!!
wish you showed how you centered the led lens component to the hilt so the beam of light was focused to the mirrored tip.
She looks "THRILLED" the entire time.
She honestly looks like she could NOT care less
I wish odin taught shop class at my school
Not sure if this is your kinda thing, but could you make a Pokéball that wobbles and then makes the “ding” sound like when a Pokémon is caught in the game. Never seen one before and thought it would be cool if someone did it.
Поздрав. One word, superb 😎
Holy shit it's ODin Makes! :D
have you experimented with filling the poly-carbonate tube with fiber optics in order to carry the light better throughout the blade? Maybe one layer of the cellophane in order to hide the appearance of the fiber optic rods, then fiber optic rods through the center to better carry the light from the led through the center in order to make the blade brighter all the way to the end.
Waouh Fantastic Thank you Sir
Now you need to make me one!
Luke's in epi 4 was made from an old flash bulb handle for a camera
Maybe try to make the blade more full tang like to make it a lot sturdier. Cos I may be wrong, but I'm sure I heard the saber blade shift around when she started shaking it; which isn't a very good thing from any kind of blade.
I see you have constructed a 5/10 lightsaber-at a fraction of the price.
Impressive, most impressive...
Would I be able to get a list of lengths for this? I'm not too great at taking notes and it'd be really appreciated if I could have a list of exact measurements
Ghost I’m pretty sure it’s up to you and how long you want it
very cool
I mean, this is great and all, but the best light saber is the stick you pick up on a hike and fight your friend with! I mean, what more do you need than your best mates and a stick fight?
Heck yeah! That or wrapping paper tubes!
It would cost me way too much to do this diy build. I'd have to buy literally every single thing they use here including the circular saw and the soldering kit. If I did this, it would take a while. It took me two months to softmod my Xbox because I had to purchase all the needed utilities plus a new DVD drive for it. It's hard doing the more costly projects I like doing in a timely manner when all I've got is my SSI to my name.
Get a freaking job then tard
He should’ve made a tutorial on his own without her
@mickor yeah
That's what his youtube channel is for. This is what's known as a "COLLABORATION" big word I know
This video is a totally different experience with audio only.
do Dooku's blade! It looks great
I feel dirty hearing him talk about inches with her 😂
Perv.
Alas brother i too feel like a dirty minded schoolboy......"sigh"
This is why they shouldn’t have females do videos like this, not because women don’t have the smarts to do it or what ever someone’s gonna try to make it seem like I’m tryna say, but because there’s gonna be people like this who would see stuff inappropriately, when they wouldn’t if there was another dude.
@@BrAnd0n_1103 ......(9:58) >:P
Bruise _25: K…?
Question for you. I have a Savi's Workshop saber from Galaxy's Edge. I'm not sure if you're aware, but there's a strip of LEDs inside the blade itself. Not like others that have modules in the hilt. Anyway, because the LEDs are in the blade, You don't exactly get a consistent solid color the length of the blade. You see bands of color from the individual LEDs. It's not horrible, but it is annoying. Especially considering the cost of the sabers. Is there a simple fix to hide the bands of color? Maybe more cellophane? I just assume the more you use, the less intense the color will be though. But, hopefully it would hide the bands. Maybe it's not worth it or maybe there's a better solution. I don't know.

This has been our COVID project. Almost done. What size set screw did you use?
“Alright what we wanna do” 😂😂
Take a shot every time she says ok
The guy did all the work and the girl just said,”Okay”
I built my own wooden saber, but it’s not a lightsaber. It’s an early Turkish Saber. I’ve carved Celtic Knots on the blade & guard. I’ve also carved the words “Keltic Kilij” on the fuller. The total length is 38”
So it is possible to learn this power
The sexual innuendos are endless with this one. She is gorgeous though.
We need to get Elon musk to make a real working light saber
Hacksmith.
I want this woman and the lightsaber xD
So coooool
"It's similar in strength to steel." No... no it's not. Stainless steel is about ten times as strong as PC.
There's actually a stainless steel fiber made for black projects made like spiders silk capable of 10k lb tensile strength from a 1mm strand.
How is that going to cut somebody's arm off ???
FAKE !!!
could you try to make a combat ready dual bladed saber
Please upload the non-conversation version of the lightsaber making.
Me at the beginning: wait, it’s that the dude from Odin Makes
how many watts is the LED?
I lied when she tries to dance...definately an authentic nerdy chick! Cool in my opinion...
Ah yes, the classic star wars "forces of darkness"
could you put a parts list
Question:
Would this build work as well during the day in sunlight as it would indoors and at night?
Coz if so, I'm sold, coz this seems like the best way to make custom Lightsaber without the outrageous prices and restricted parts of every custom saber site I've visited
Remember that the sun outshines everything. If you want daylight performance, I would probably advise not even using LEDs at all, instead having a reflective material in the middle of the blade to make it shine anyway.
awesome video! (She looked a bit disappointed at 11") ;)
Hello Ive watched the video several times and tried looking up all the parts I'm not sure on a few. can you send a parts list with numbers? if not no biggy. thanks it sure looks nice.
all i am trying to learn how to do is a Pink cross from Weeknd video of Startboy lol xD this gave me an idea how to make it, but still.. :D
I’ll just stick to buying the sentinel v2 staff of the online shop
How do you change the batteries if the electronics compartment is epoxy'd to the other half, or am I misunderstanding how they're doin this?
Aaaahhh please some one help me! Where can I find that polycarbonate tube? I searched everywhere but I still don't find it!
Too bad I don't have access to a shop.
I have a lightsaber I "built" at Savi's workshop in Disney world and the hilt pieces move quite easily due to not so high quality threading. Any tips on how to get the hilt pieces to stay put?
Watching this on my lightsaber
What's the wall thickness on those aluminum tubes?
That sound board! No reason it should cost that much.
