    It’s a hard pick because while I really like the level of detail and authentic look of Ben’s I think I have to vote Stanley because he went the extra mile to make the blade and to give it his own personal made at Home Depot feel.

    • @BenLaurence

    When you build your own lightsaber, you have a connection with it. I also went in without any real vision. My lightsaber went through many different iterations before I had my final product. Mine is largely made from a scrap metal dumpster, too. The only money I spent was on leather wrap, adhesives, and lead acid solder.

At least the prequels brought the best Star Wars media of all time, like The Clone Wars, and games like the original Battlefront 2 and Star Wars Republic Commando (which he probably has no idea of since he most likely started liking Star Wars after Disney got their SJW hands on it.)

The other two were where Ben built a second saber out of stuff from their new workshop, and the second was one where Tresh’s dad built a saber out of stuff from his shed, however you can still watch that one from his channel who you can find through Tresh’s channel.

    For D-ring hangers you don't have to go to Disney. In fact, you can probably find what you need at Home Depot by the key cutter. It's a key ring belt clip that's a strip of metal folded over on itself twice like an S. One side hangs from your belt and the other side accepts your D-ring. Also, if you can reconfigure your hilt so it's hollow and accepts a blade, you can get DIY electronic kits to put inside. Check out some BYO Lightsaber vids to see how to do it. Good job, both of you. There are elements that I like of each, so I declare a tie. :D

    If you grab some 1$ pool noodles from Wal-Mart, they fit snugly over 1/2in PVC and work wonderfully to turn model lightsabers into nerf swords. The only problem is finding a way to design the saber so that the blades can be removed when you want while staying solidly in place when in use.

    Hilt wise Ben is better, it’s weathered look makes it look like it’s been through battles, and looks like it’s strong like a Jedi.
