Immortal JEDI Mashup - Making the Highlander LIGHTSABER
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Bill loves Highlander and Star Wars, so when he got his hands on a sword mold from Highlander 2, a mash up had to happen! The lightsaber was purchased as a kit, but all the connecting pieces were machined from real metal! Also, the handle came from a special mold...

For future ref: brass is a work-hardening metal. The more you bang on it, the harder it becomes. To anneal it you should evenly warm it to a dull red, not bright red, then quench it in water to quickly and evenly cool it. Unlike steel, quenching brass softens the metal; hammering it into shape will then gradually re-harden it. If you find its give lessening as you work it, you an just re-anneal it till it's where you want it! Loved the mashup and looking forward to the full-metal replica!
Great tips, thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you enjoyed the parts I sent you! What a cool idea! Can't wait to see what you do with the other mold. - Mike
Thanks again, SO MUCH Mike! =D
you're the man, man
Thank you Mike!! You made it happen.... And all hail the mighty algorithm
...Other mold? Why must you tease us like that.
@@Zachoff Such cruelty 😭😭
Getting your hands on the original mold is great. What you did with is amazing!
Thank you so much Ted! =D
@@punishedprops You gonna share the mold somehow?
@@Clay3613 I second this. I grew up watching highlander in the 90s. One of my all time favorites.
@@punishedprops I'm so jealous, I'm a huge fan of highlander and I'd probably be as giddy as you if I had my hands on the original mold
After watching the first episode of Star Wars: Visions, this build is so much more relevant and amazing!
hell yeah!
This was such a fun build! Now that we're all moved in, would you be interested in a shop tour video?
EDIT: Here is the workshop tour! ua-cam.com/video/mCZEnP7DpCs/v-deo.html
We've missed you guys! Would love to see the shop!
Yes definitely
Absolutely! Would love a shop tour!
Heck yes!
Would love to see the new space.
Foamsmithing leads to great results, but it's always so much more satisfying to see metal props
Yeah the metal feels so good!
That's why I make metal cosplay swords
That funny moment when you thinking of watching Higherlander, and this shows up to watch on youtube a few minutes later on a channel you've never seen before :D
projects like this are what being a maker is all about. making the stuff you love that you would never see out in the wild.
Macleod: "There can be only one."
Mcgregor: "Only a Sith deals in absolutes."
Butters: polka will never die!
Johnny from airplane: " DID I LEAVE THE IRON ON? " ;3
The legend is back! There can be only one!
Ahoy Jessy! =D
Never tell me the odds!
@@punishedprops I'm glad I came to check the page
Legend is the right word. And there can only be one Bill Duran.... master of many punished props
I know many highlander fans don't acknowledge the existence of highlander 2, but as the first highlander movie I saw when I was a kid, it has a special place in my heart. Plus, Sean Connery was hilarious in that movie! It's so cool that you got to use the mold from the katana hilt for the lightsaber. Keep up the highlander videos!
Seeing bill's face and seeing the pure joy throughout this video has been a highlight of my day
Awe, thanks! =D
as a fan of both Highlander and Star Wars, I am blown away by this build. Awesome Job!!!
THIS GUY AS VERY GOOD AT BUILDING THINGS, LIKE TO SEE MORE OF HIS WORK!
"the bung holer" and "the spinnetrator" I love the names of your tools
Wow what an amazing result. I’ve been impatiently awaiting this video, and I’ve gotta say I’m blown away on the quality of videos you guys are able to create in your new/old workspace!
Awe, that's very kind of you to say. =)
Highlander + Lightsaber = Highlighter :)
This, was just incredible. I saw my first video of yours last night, and today this was a recommendation from UA-cam. I'm also a big Star Wars and Highlander fan, I always joke that some of my best conversations have been about Highlander. I had the pleasure of meeting the author Earnest Cline at a book signing, and conversed about Highlander. Also, my first convention that I went to was to meet Adrian Paul from the Highlander tv shows, and of course a movie or two.
Awesome merging of two fantastic universes! Good job!
That's so great! I had such a hard time finding people to talk to about Highlander back in the day. It's so cool you got to meet Earnest Cline and Adrian Paul!
It's like discovering a 747... a thousand years before the Wright Brothers ever flew :)
Glorious, Bill!! All that brass work is fantastic!
Thanks so much!
I stay for the bloopers. It's like an MCU end credit scene. 😁
As a huge highlander fan myself I'm just so in love with this prop. What an amazing job and cool opurtunity to work with the original mold
Thank you!
Man I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan but the Highlander dragged me in and I can not bull crap to sweet you killed it
One of the best movies, great choice for a custom build.
I enjoyed this! It would be cool to see a 3D modelled version of the grip portion better optimised for a battery and speaker. Using the newer thread-in blade from saberforge mightve made life easier too, really enjoyable build though! I love my saberforge!
GREATEST MASHUP EVERRRRRR!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Here we are!
Born to be kings!
We're the Jedi's of the Un-iverse!
I'm not always impressed with mashups. Some work... and others fall flat. This was A.W.E.S.O.M.E.
Thanks so much!
Very cool. the different colors of brass fits the idea of how lightsabers are hand built by the user.
Oh yeahhhhh totally!
I'm watching you trying to squish that brass and I can hear Alec Steele crying out in my head. When he is finally able to come back stateside, you need to make a trip out his direction for a joint project.
I made some lightsabers myself and I must say that the worst part is having a design narrow enough to be pretty but bulky enough for the electronics. You really did something impressive.
Thanks so much!
This was majestically glorious to watch come together….. award deserving.
Awe, thanks!
Love Highlander and love all things SW, except the sequel trilogy. This is an amazing crossover
Thats amazing that Mike De La Vega could hook you up with this unique opportunity
Now that you are back up and running, time to make the ultimate Highlander prop, Kurgan's Sword. Not just any Kurgan Sword but one that screws together just like the one in the movie.
I CANNOT LIKE THIS MORE!!!!! I have a replica of a Highlander katana. The lynch pin bent and the blade, not being full tang, was wobbling in the hilt. I got it like that.... But this just gave me an awesome idea on how to make a duplicate of my hilt and make mine own Highlander Lightsaber. I cannot wait to try that, Thank you thank you thank you for this awesome idea. WHY DID I NEVER THINK OF THIS?!?!? ugh. But hey, thank you for.... illuminating.... me to the possibility!!!
This ended up looking SO SO GOOD!
The sound of metal attaching to metal is so satisfying! So cool to see this all finished.
Isn't it?! I love it so much. =D
absolute legend THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE Bill Doran
Haha! Thanks! =)
That's an incredible build. I'd love to see Duncan's as a lightsaber as well... but the Tale Spin theme at the end was an awesome bonus
Spin it! =D
@@punishedprops also, it is great to find other Highlander fans. With so few forums to discuss the films or series, it feels like it’s been forgotten a bit
Impressive, most impressive!! "There can be only one!"
Glad to see more videos using real metal for cosplay and prop making
04:55 Who else screamed "MOLD CLAMP" at their screen when Bill went to hold it open with his bare hands😂 you surely forgot about that poor thing
I was blown away when I seen you posted a new video. Then... I was double blown away when I seen it was about a lightsaber-ish build. Glad to see you're back. Happy for new content from you guys!!! Can't wait for more videos!!!!
babys first blacksmithing, blow torch and a claw hammer.... well it worked so Good Job
You made round "seppa". Which is an actual part for japanese blades. Glad to see it.
Glad you guys are up and running again! This is a good reminder/inspiration to get back and finish up some things for Halloween!
We're so stoked to get more projects done! Halloween will be so much fun!
The UA-cam algorithm once again brings me to yet another awesome creator. What an amazing video, love your enthusiasm and positive attitude. Now time to binge watch your other videos!
Bill, as a metal worker by trade, a number of things you did on this show made me cringe. That being said, your enthusiasm and willingness to try is an inspiration. I am proud of you.
Metal working is so much fun, I'm excited to learn!
This goes really well with Starwars visions!
I didn't even know there was more then one Highlander movie but I LOVE the first one
This is so weird... I was just thinking the other day about a mash-up lightsaber. I've been rewatching Gene Rodenberry's Andromeda on Prime and was thinking how cool a High Guard Force Lance would look as a Lightsaber hilt. I've neither the skill nor the equipment to make such a thing a reality but maybe you could consider the idea for a future build, after all you can never have too many lightsabers :D
also... holes for the sound could be made in the Dragon's mouth to hide them :D
Which force lance the black they used for most of the show or the brass/gold one that was for the pilot and a bit of season one?
@@rvaughan74 both would look great but I do like the silver & black better.
Ok, this is a great fusion of genres. Highlander has been my favorite movie since it came out. But... I do not know of these Sequels that you speak of.... I never was five minutes late to the first sequel and sat confused for the next hour and forty minutes... I never went the next weekend to catch the five minutes I missed hoping it would explain what happened only to find out that five minutes was trailers... and I never walked out of a second viewing... I agree Highlander is a great movie and great premise. The Highlander Lightsaber is great!
I NEED ONE! Seriously, this thing is amazing. I love how the blade color makes it look like the blade is in a perpetual state of mid-forging. 😁
Yeah, that's really neat, isn't it??
wow, wow, wow and wow. This is brilliant on how you crafted it from scratch. You are truly a Saber-smith.
Super cool Saber! Totally jealous! Fantastic build.
How freaking cool!
If battery life is an issue, and you have the space, you could parallel a pair of the small batteries or if you hunt, you can find longer thinner battery packages.
That's a great idea!
this is incredible. I have never personally seen Highlander or the series, but I have wanted to do a lightsaber build for a long time and this is just awesome!! great work!
Super cool Katana Light Saber! 🔥
That is amazing! Highlander is one of my all-time favorite movies. Extremely cool that you were able to use an authentic mold for this build!
I love this mash-up! Man, it'd be such a different visual if the immortals had lightsaber battles. I Also love that you _also_ can't hear the words "spin it" without thinking of the "Tailspin" theme.
I bet we could add some lightsaber VFX to Highlander sword fight scenes and it would look awesome.
Absolutely wonderful. . . Just wonderful!!!!
Awesome video. I just loved every minute of it. Big Star Wars fan and sword collector. And yes, I have an “authorized” Highlander replica sword amongst the collection. Fun to see other people geek out like me.
Oh neat! I never splurged on any official replicas. I bet I can find some on eBay.
36:43 One of the great things about step-drills is that you can just flip the sheet over and lightly touch the bit down again against the next step up, to remove all of that messy burr, and even chamfer the hole at the same time as you did on the top.
So i just discovered your channel through this video! and the fact that YOU HAVE AN ELDER SCROLL BEHIND YOU LIKE WHATTTTT DUDE THATS SO COOL!
This was awesome I am a huge Star Wars fan and Highlander fan keep being awesome I need one of those
Not to take away from the content of the video, but my gods….that weapon rack in the background looks AMAZING!
Why thank you!
49:58 me on every cosplay project 😂😭 Sometimes you just gotta keep telling yourself that and keeping going.
The sheer joy you had building this was awesome. Ty
Here we are!...born to be Knights!...we are the Jedi of the Universe!!
Love Highlander Love Star Wars, this is awesome!
That was a TON of work but WOW ! That turned out Fantastic ! You would think the Jedi would actually have something more like this. Since they are such and old religion. Congratulations on another GREAT build. Keep up the good work
I love the idea of making an antique looking lightsaber. =D
That was a fun watch. I also love Highlander and lightsabers. There is another maker called Darth Alice that has years of Katana Lightsabers that are absolutely beautiful. But, Ive never seen anyone do one inspired by the Highlander katanas. Truly wonderful.
What I think could be a neat solution to a lot of the problems in this build might be bisecting the handle and using it as handle scales to a thin hollow metal divider so you could access the insides by just popping off one of the halves. It would add more internal room and some handle rigidity, and remove the need for the rods. But that'd add a lot more machining to the project and your mileage may vary on whether that'd look good.
Anyway, this was awesome!
What an amazing build!
This has such Adam Savage One Day Builds vibes 👌
Subscribed because of that sexy wall art.
Dude that is so freaking dope
That was awesome! Great to have you guys back! Missed your videos!
not a highlander fan but I like the concept for a lightsaber, reminds me of the Star Wars Visions ❤❤❤
That looks awesome!!! When you were aging the handle and the brass parts, Bob Ross popped into my head. You are the Bob Ross of prop building, man! So good!
That's wonderful, I love Bob Ross.
this is literally amazing
such a great job . The brass was a great choice
Thanks!
Nice work. I enjoyed your craftsmanship and enthusiasm. I like the yellow for Connor's light saber. Red would be more appropriate for Kane's lightsaber, in my opinion.
Thanks so much! That's a great idea.
Love me some Highlander! Great mashup.
Thank you!
As a former saber smith for custom combat lightsabers, this was a bit hard to watch but the prop builder side of myself enjoyed this tremendously!
Amazing build I love that you took the extra steps to make t all fit the original handle!!!
Awesome build. You do such great work. Keep up the great content
that is so beautiful. I know im not alone is saying I want one!
I bought a Highlander: The Series/Duncan MacLeod Katana over 20yrs ago...still got it to this day. Was mad on the series at the time....The one I got was more identical to the later seasons of the series, circa season 6/7 & "Highlander: End Game" version.
Fantastic mashup!
Are there people who don't like Highlander? Because if there is they should be on a watch list.
I was thinking about you guys yesterday, so cool to see what you've been working on!!!
Hurray! =D
It is so nice to see a video from you two, again. It really is like a ray of creative sunshine. Thanks for all the amazing props you made and I am looking forward to all the props that will come.
You're welcome!
wow! That must feel so amazing being a prop master and creating a prop using the actual mold from one of your fav movies!
It felt really great!
The music you chose at 26 minutes low key makes this sound like a home depot advertisement
Wow that's freaking awesome
Love to see that you're a power Fusion 360 user Bill! Great project.
You know it buddy! =D
I loved watching this video. You should do a new shop tour of your new place. Keep the videos coming
That's a great idea!
Super glad to see another build video up! Can wait to see what Brit does! And as this involves Highlander 2 I must say.... LONG LIVE ZEIST!
HA! I see someone isn't a fan of the Renegade cut, eh? =)
@@punishedprops It's an entertaining movie and TBH I used to troll a friend of mine at work with it. He was adamant that the 2nd movie doesn't exist lol
I love Highlander and I install sabers! I would love to get one of these to install for myself!
