Hello fellow Youtubers! This here is my first actual video that involves me in it. This video will teach you how to make a lightsaber with around thirty dollars to spend.

If there are any questions on anything that I may have missed during the recording, feel free to ask. I may sound as though I rushed during some spots, so I'll explain here.

As you can tell, we decided to record this video outside in order to break the mold. It was a sunny/rainy day, but the issue we faced was this sunny patch was going to be the last one of the day, so we were short on time.

It did drizzle for a bit during the video as I point out. Also, the person that is sniffling during the video is the cameraman, he was sick with something.

One thing I forgot to say was that the steel coupler was 3/4 inch diameter. Like I said, I had to rush some stuff.

If anyone has any info on where to find special effects for movies like this, please let me know. We need some new things!

  • HOW MUCH DOSE IT COST TELL ME

  • @lawrence7270 I believe it was around $30.

  • you don't have to use only o-rings. You can also use sump pump tubes for much cheaper than the o-rings.

  • @YHVlogs That is very true. Only problem is that it is very difficult to find tubing that fits snug on something that narrow.
