Deimos [ancient greek] – daemon
It’s a saber I made for a friend of mine. He is studying to be a teacher in german and theology and for that he had to learn ancient greek (sounds like hell), so he gave a greek name to his saber.
It began with a saber he designed and I made for him as a surprise for the Jedi Con in Düsseldorf (Germany). It looked like this:

I installed for AA batteries, a buchpuck, green Seoul P4 LED and a recharge port.
After this convention where he saw CF sabers in action, he was exalted about CFs and wanted to have a such a soundboard, too. Well, he would have to go on stage with us in the future, so he would need a CF saber. I decided to borrow him one until Erv brings out some CF5.
This was our final draft of the saber:

The parts:

Let’s start.
At first I made the overlay. This was a premiere for me, so it looked accordingly.

And now: Polishing till dropping. All the scratches I made when cutting the overlay had to disappear. It took me some hours to lap them in some degree.
After that he started to drill the holes. The problem was: we had no column drill so we had to make the holes with a dremel (max 3,2mm) but we need to make 8mm holes. What a mess. It ended up with some unclean cuttings in the overlay. Whatever, we liked the saber anyway.

Now I started to make the chassis. We decided to install one Trustfire 18650 li-ion. This would provide enough power tu drive a Seoul P4 and we would still have lots of space in the hilt.
At first I abraded da 32mm (1,26“) PVC tube down to 1,25 so that it would fit into an MHS extension. Then I made two holes and glued in the momentaries.

On the opposite side I drilled a hole for the recharge port.

Then I made the panel for mounting the li-ion and the board.

The nut is for the covertec srew, which shall hold the whole construction in place when fighting with the saber.
Put it together.
