TUTORIALS

I learned a lot from others and from my own mistakes.  Here's my chance to help you.

 

Lightsaber Prop Tutorials Hero Stunt Saber Budget Combat Saber	So you need some combat-ready stunt sabers but you haven't got a truckload to spend?  You came to the right place.  This tutorial shows how to make 2 different models that are inexpensive to make and durable under staged combat conditions.  One is what I call the "Hero stunt saber" and the other is the "Budget combat saber".  Both work great!
Gaderfii (Gaffi) Stick Tutorial	Don't have the money or the inclination to get a real Totokia all the way from Fiji just so you can convert it into this popular Tusken Raider's weapon?  Don't blame you.  Here's how to make a good looking one on the cheap!  And most of the stuff you can get at the mall or Home Depot!
Staged Combat Tutorial	This is a pretty long essay I wrote called "Selected Thoughts on Staged Lightsaber Combat".  This is a very very basic fight choreography system that I call "Lightsaber 101".  Comes complete with diagram pictures and example movie files.
NEW! The Nine Doors to the Kingdom of Shadows	DO-IT-YOURSELF EVIL TOME PROJECT! This is an ongoing tutorial on how to make this rare but popular prop.  Enjoy!

By the way, I am in no way responsible for any damage you might do to yourself and others while making or using the devices and methods described within these tutorials.  I assume that anyone wanting to make or use these is a mature individual and understands that there is some risk involved with some of these tutorials during their construction and in their use.  The sum of all this is that there is an inherent risk whenever you are swinging a stick at someone and if you break a dowel over someone's head, don't come crying to me.
