How to Make a Real Burning Lightsaber: Part 1

Finally! This is part 1 of a series showing how to make a real lightsaber from Star Wars. Even if you're excited about Star Wars: The Last Jedi, you probably shouldn't try making this lightsaber this at home!

You're truly an intelligent engineer! We all have a lot of fun when watching your videos

[crzycnt]

hahahaha 'this video is for educational and entertainment purposes only'
you'll need...'

[tytotheowl]

You need a certificate that gives you the rank of an official Jedi Master

[AceNallawar]

my god I literally just found your light sabre video, and I was wondering how to make one and guess what within 1 min your video was up on how to make it.

[brukernavnfettsjit]

How on earth did you find all those perfect fitting components? I try to have a mental library of common parts in my HW store, but this is some next level shit!

[roboterson]

Can't wait for the rest of the series! Are you making a second one in the video or did you fully document construction on the first one you built?

[James-xldm]

Can't wait for part 2! I definitely look forward to the finished product and maybe making one myself following your instructions of course :)

Hey man this is great i love how well you explain everything. Your details to doing things right is really inspiring hope to see some more of what your doing soon.

[slydumpling]

Hey there Allen! A while ago I saw that you had done a vid with Grant Imahara using something like a Myo to control a drone. Was it in fact a Myo? Anyways, I had the idea of making an Assassin's Creed hidden blade using Myo technology, but I lack the resources and in depth knowledge of how to do so. Would you consider adding this idea onto the long list that you have already? The AC movie is coming out in December and it would seem totally appropriate to make something like a hidden blade. But hey, if you're too busy with other projects, so long as you're uploading, I'm happy!

I'm not crazy enough to try to build this, but it is pretty cool what you can make from stuff found at your local hardware store.

[foadrightnow]

COOL! When will part 2 be posted? Yesterday would not be soon enough!

[matthewlara]

That syringe valve part is like $60, if that is how much a little part cost what would be the overall cost of building this ? But, for what ever amount i guess its worth it to have your own working light saber.

[jacobcore]

by using the technique for the lightsaber, could you make a energy sword from halo? like with separate fuel pumped from different angles

"for educational and entertainment purposes Let's get started! First you'll need..."
Cracked me right up.

[timboSlice]

I like that your videos are short but informative

[Chsch]

I love your videos, they inspire me to try fit new things like you! :)

[deviningram]

+Sufficiently Advanced I think this is amazing, great innovation, I was wondering when you can come out with part 2, im really interested in the way you made this. And if i can make this as well

[jambo]

So cool. Are you and the hacksmith going to do a collab in person?

[foadrightnow]

Where is part 2? It's been nearly 2 months now. I know it's already done. Post it! Please.

[crisl]

looking forward to part 2! i love the idea and how you applied it
