A special thanks to MH for THE BEST polish and powder coating on the planet.
His work on the blade holder, choke, pommel, and insert are second to none. Period.
His communication and photos along the way are very informative on his progress.
He is a very knowledgeable person and a great guy to deal with. Thanks Michael!

LDM (General Grievous) installed the tactile switches in the Graflex clamp.
He squeezed in working on my clamp in between (during) other builds. Thanks General!
Those of you that have dealt with LDM know his work is some of the best.

The grenade section was powder coated in black wrinkle and the gear section was
done in solar flat black by Tim at TCSS. We all know that his work is top shelf.

On to the pictures…

Hopefully, you can hear the different poweron sounds on the video.

Sorry for no internal shots. My computer crashed and ate them all. :(:(:(

Great looking saber, and congrats on the CF. Sounds really sweet in that saber, I especially like your boot sounds

Basic saber, yet still kick donkey, do you have any chasis in there? If you ever get around to it I'd like to see, as the room in that hilt is slim to none.

Room in this saber is very tight. My chassis consists of a T-8 bulb protector, shaped to fit. Not much room for anything else with those big batteries.

nice cram-fu.. I know its a pita to fit 2x18650s in a hilt that size.

MH did an awesome job on the shine/PC ffor sure.
congrats on the CF and for being able to wire it up with a nice config

Thanks LDM!
Thanks J-Lo!
I take your comments as very high praise coming from you two.
