Wait! What!? A threaded film canister? I’ve shot thousands of rolls of film, and sold tens of thousands more, and don’t remember ever seeing threaded plastic canisters. Metal canisters? Yes. But never plastic. You’ve blown my mind. I love every bit of this build. Great find with the ‘router’ base thingy. The saber is awesome as well. One day I hope to be good enough (re: rich enough) to own my own lightsaber. Now I’m equipped with more inspiration to (very slowly) build more things from nothing.

This is one of my favourite videos you have ever put out. Beautiful display peice using a miryad of techniques and materials and it never ceases to amaze me how you just pull out some random greeblies seemly at random and without bairley paying attention and yet they just magically fit together like magic and just instantly look right. I always really enjoy your editing and choice of music in your videos just as much as the thing you're building aswel, moreso than almost any other channel im subscribed to here on youtube. Whoever edits the videos is really good at it and your skill Brian for building star wars wall displays seems like you were born for it lol.

wow! I can't tell you how much that means to both myself and my wife Carissa. Truly, thank you for the kind words. This really keeps us motivated!

Wow!! That is an amazing display. The possibilities are endless with scrap materials and fabricated/etched acrylic. Very nice adaptation from table/desktop display to a wall mount. The laser cut design patterns are very cool. The backlighting grabs just right amount of attention. Fantastic build Brian.

Great episode. first off love the look of the light saber it self, Dennis is truly a master craftsman. The light saber display stand build is a work of art as well, its absolutely beautifully done. So Mr. Thompson this build hit the mark of excellence once again.

Just a thought, I was thinking you could wire the orange button to light up when someone removes the light saber from the stand. The addition of a warning buzzer with the orange flashing light would work as well to add a little fun effect to the build.

Even though I'm a Star Trek guy and I've built a TOS themed workstation, I still dabble with Star Wars, and at the moment I'm considering a Star Wars themed workstation for my computer classroom, complete with display areas for my models etc. I'm considering a wrap around unit to minimise floor space, with a straight section against the wall on my left (containing a piano keyboard under a lift-up desktop), the Lenovo PC standing on front of me as I face my classes, and a small area to my left for additional workspace when marking papers, lesson planning etc. I'm thinking of something loosely based on the computer station in the Death Star Detention area, but with the outer uprights being glass display areas. My Lightsaber and blaster displays will be worked into the whole design. What do you think?@@TheSmugglersRoom

Rig up a Lightsaber as a wall light with an on/off dimmer switch or motion sensor. Mount it near a door or above a door frame like in a theater room cause I don't think I have seen that yet unless I haven't gone thru all of your videos.
