"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"
I like it when lightsaber hilts look home made cause padawans are literally supposed to build their own lightsaber from scratch.
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?
No way! I thought I would never meet another Odin, and props to you on the lightsaber.
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.

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?
I built my own Lightsaber about a year ago and proudly display it mounted on my wall.
Awesome!
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
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.
Hi Odin! This tutorial really helped me. I hope you make more videos like this one!
Someone get this man a little lathe!
Super cool hilt design!!
Thank you John!
Hey Odin can you make my lightsaber purple please?
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!
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 TH-cam 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.
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
great stuff looked like a fun build other than the battery issue
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
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.
This was so cool!
I’d love to see you tackle Dirty Harry’s revolver and Auto Mag pistol
AWESOME!!
Seond time watching and still just as good!!
Thank you Shawn!
👏🏻👏🏻 Awesome work! Congratulations!
Sad that the Giveaway is only for US viewers, but it's understandable. The lightsaber is still awesome tho, great job Odin!
12:40 "Do not look directly at the operational end of the handheld portal device"
Pretty neat but u could of did something with that green hilt situation some leather wrapping or something
just so Odin knows custom saber shop nxt time for blade and more should get into saber building with ur skills
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".
I wonder if you make another Lightsaber may try the Lightsaber Blade either Red Green or Purple
Interesting way to make a saber blade too, I might try that method at some point :P With the different blade tip I mean
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
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?
This isnt really related to the video but I found it funny that the day they will stop people from entering is my birthday.
Happy upcoming birthday!
@@OdinMakes thanks!
YES!!!
The "mushroom" type attachment is called a a "Covertec wheel" which slid into a "Covertec belt clip" and yes, it was for cell phones. Also. that heatsink is going to make it really uncomfortable to spin this lightsaber.
I love it.. i want to enter :)
MY google answered your question while I watched this video...lol
Could you please make Thundarr the Barbarian's sun sword
I've always wanted a light saber that will play the theme song to Star Trek The Next Generation just to anger the Star Wars fans...
Great and awesome lightsaber, Odin!! It's too bad you don't accept contestants from Canada.
Do a Lego battle Axe
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!
Id would still love to see either The Shadow Saber from Power Rangers S.P.D or Koraggs Sword and Shield from Power Rangers Mystic Force
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
Idol can you make a MWC-35C or Staccato Lightening on star wars
You mean “the reva show with a guest appearance by obi wan kenobi”???
Very Nice! Bravo!
Can you make gorr God butcher All black necerosword
Can you make Jack Frost staff tutorial from rise of the guardians
6:25 Hey man you gotta bleep that stuff out lol, now I got my living room yelling at me about screws 🤣
I’d make this saber if I could get purple leds instead of blue.

Yo odin! could you make emperor zurg's gun?
Very awesome but the blade is a little to short
A fine addition to the collection. *coughs in Grievous*
Odin, absolutely love your props. I love Batman, can you do some more Batman props? Thank you and keep up the great work
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!!
When you started hitting your head with it I nearly spat my coffee out ha !
Man, I get nervous every time you use that band-saw at close range. XD Sweet light-saber design though man.
Terrific! I grew up watching Star Wars, and I like the blue lightsabers! ⭐✨⚔
I bought a txq saber from china. It worked great, but I ended up selling it. It wasn’t as satisfying to have because I didn’t build it myself. I will probably end up making my own soon as it would be much more fulfilling. Do you have links to where you bought your parts from?
hii Odin, love your work, I am trying to build a light saber myself, but I can´t find the policarbonate tube, do you know where can I find one?
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.
Huh, my google said a number 29 drill bit!
Also thanks for setting off my google assistant, ahaha!
Thanks for the Vid Odin!
Odin you make the best stuff and was wondering if you were putting anything else up would love to have one of your sabers!
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!
Make a neopixel lightsaber
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.
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
that is beautiful Odin. very nice hilt, as a lightsaber collector i love it
Very kanan jarrus look
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?
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.
Hey there Odin, what a great build as always. Maybe you can add Count Dooku's lightsaber to the list of the next project?
Great can't enter because it's for the US only, thanks Beyond Geek for limiting the comp to the US only
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.
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
I personally Love the Lightsaber Katana that Man at Arms Reforged made But you did a Great job on yours to Oden 👍👍.
CRISTOPH GETTING THAT SINISTER SHOUT OUT! 👏👏👏
Yes! The dude is cool!
My light Saber would be called the SlayerStaff, it would be mix of Kylo Rens lightsqber and Darth Mauls Sqber in Phantom Menace
I named my second son Odinn. The spelling is to bring it a little closer to old norse Óðinn, without having birth certificate font issues.
Please make The Grabber's mask from The Black Phone. I watched that movie yesterday and it was amazing and really want to make his mask! But I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out how to make it.
I like that you make your own Lightsaber but that heatsink is supposed to be a Lightsaber Power Box
Don't Make The Same Mistakes Twise
Please make the new Mjölnir from God of War: Ragnarök 🙏🏻
I've got a bad feeling about this.... haha kidding, I'm looking forward to this one, Odin!
I like the Star Wars reference!
Yeah! Han solo said that ounce!!
Using random pieces found is literally what the very first Star Wars did in terms of the lightsaber designed
I totally forgot Odin made props for smosh until he said something. How I have "He's the man!" Replaying in my head lol
Iirc this is how the prop team built lightsabers on the Episode 2 set: just grab whatever looks cool and stick it together
I got a request: try making Nero's Red Queen sword fromDevil May Cry 5?
Hey Odin, what’s the name of the soundtrack you use for your normal Wed build vids?
Odin your videos are great. Wish you had a Life sized oxygen destroyer build from the first godzilla movie. im going to a con in september and i made a Dr. serizawa cosplay outfit but i dont have a oxygen destroyer and i have no idea how to make one
Right on time, been looking for a video this and saw your previous videos again yesterday.
This is such a bad ass lightsaber I love how the hilt is super custom because that’s how Odin makes ❤️
Hey, is there any way to make sure that my entrance into the giveaway is confirmed? I have had it be cancelled randomly with ROG once and i reallly don't want that to happen
Can yo make a mini Batman light signal? I ran into an issue when I tried making mine.. the bat symbol wouldnt appear. I used metal cutout to no avail.
man it's such a shame that they only accept giveaway entries from the US, it wouldve been really cool to win that lightsaber
Hey there, here's an odd request. Have you ever made a pair of prob shoes or sneakers? If not, please make a pair of your favorite Air Jordans!
Any chance of making a Hidden Blade from Assassin’s Creed???
Will you make Ben's blaster pistol from the Kenobi show?
I wish you had made Luke's green light saber from return of the Jedi my grandfather made me one when I was a child he died three months later and it was stolen shortly afterwards
Could you make the Ebony and Ivory guns from Devil May Cry
