Learn how to build your blade and hilt by watching our Make Your Own Combat Ready Lightsaber (   • Make Your Own Combat Ready Lightsaber...  ). This build is an extended build from the Beyond Geek television series episode The Force is Strong, which you can watch the full episode for free at: https://www.beyondgeek.com
