Building a Star wars yoke from scratch
Generic Eric:
Menace, who long do you think it would take to build the yoke from scratch?
Has anyone built a yoke based on this guide? Geez...I am crazy...the guide was posted for less than a day, and I am asking if anyone has built one yet...
Call me a wanker.

There's a very high-res one here:

It was there before Brax posted his, though, I'm pretty sure.

Hmmm, it didn't seem to upload. But, yes thats where I found it quite some time ago. I was trying to post it to the non-vector category, hoping someone might vectorize it. :)

hmmm.. hard to say. I built it over the course of a few weeks with an hour here and there. there were also pauses so that the construction didn't get ahead of the write-up. If you have all the parts on hand, i can't imagine it would take that long.
As far as the art goes, I liked the look of the jedi one better just cause it had a bit more color. Either way it will have to be deformed in photoshop since my yoke isn't the exact same size or shape as the original.

Do you have an estimate on the materials (not including "prototyping cost) to make a yoke based on your design? I know that you said not any part over $10.
Good Stuff!
