Found some gorilla tape at Ace Hardware, so that's what I'm using. It's working.... it's just going to take a while to get the layering correct with the taper

I thought I would share what I did.

i used a 1 inch extruded acrylic round rod. Cut it to size. Drilled a hole for the fiber optic cable 8mm.  Then drilled a hole for a blade retention screw.
It works great and is very bright.  This method is also much stronger than using a regular blade plug. We have had no breaks yet .

My pleasure! Perhaps we should summon Darth Tepes lol

I do not pretend I read everything about Starwars ... but Obi-Wan with such a weapon, I never saw that ... if any one can help ... Darth Tepes is our living encyclopedia ... maybe he knows Wink

And Thanks



He made an answer top of this page ... I am sure he will be back in this topic soon  Tongue


I have been Remiss.... My meditations on the Aspects of the Dark Side have blinded me to thirst for my Lore Knowledge. Smiley

Obi-Wan fashioned a Lightwhip while he and Kit Fisto were on a mission during the clone wars.  He  used it as secondary weapon in tandem with his lightsaber.  Due to the hasty construction the power cells quickly burned out apparently. Unfortunately there is no image as it is from a Novel.

Where did you pick up the round acrylic rod?

Sorry to bring up old stuff. This has been driving me crazy and bouncing around in my head since I read it.

What kind of sadist uses a whip?

I just figured out where I heard it before.

I have been thinking about the DIY unstable blade posts. They have been using silicone on the blades to get the effect and the blade remains usable for sparring.  It is honestly a great idea. The silicone is a little rubbery and has a little stretch to it.  Silicone might be pretty good for thickening up the base of your whip Lady R.  Just an idea.

Maybe. I have enough materials for 3 prototypes so I’ll attempt silicone on maybe the second. First is using gorilla tape.

I have a length of fiber optic left and a bunch of tubes of Silicone.  I was thinking about doing a couple feet and checking the flexibility  before I did a whole whip. I'll let you know how it goes.

Much appreciated that you shared the knowledge and your completed whip with everyone. Very, very cool. Also props to Lady Revan for starting this topic.
Sharing the link to the pictures/video of KaiserSosay's completed light whip, since I didn't see them here and it saves him the trouble of having to twice.
