ik u don’t have a lot of views in this vid but I’d like to say this is the most original trilogy looking custom lightsaber I’ve ever seen. it has that homemade look, yet it looks like star wars well done
Wow man, that’s incredible work! Your attention to detail and skill are just awesome! I think you have real potential for doing well on youtube, but I’d suggest making your title something along the lines of “How to Build a Realistic Prop Lightsaber!” Might draw in more of an audience. As well, you could maybe create a short 2 minute video just displaying the lightsaber, with some cool pan shots and good music. Audiences who aren’t interested in watching 40 minutes of content to see it would love to see that video in substitute. I’m only giving that advice because you make high quality woodworking, and with a little tweaking I think you could do quite well here on YouTube. Well done!
