LDM does Jacen Solo's Saber

[Lord Dottore Matto]

Jacen Solo's Lightsaber for Kealoha Furneaux

I could not find that anyone else has ever made this but I am not completely certain. Anyone ever seen one? I guess that point is academic now since it has now been done for sure and boy was that a lot of fun ;D. As you may imagine she is nearly 100% custom machined since the only part that readily exists is the pommel (I'll use an MHS pommel for it. Why re-invent the wheel?). For those of you who hate boxes, this is the saber for you. It has a Petit Crouton and the way it is going will not be much for dueling since it will only have about 1" depth in the BH (it has a skinny little neck/choke). His only request was that it have a Petit Crouton and that the blade be BRIGHT green. Check. Check. I started with this picture (the only one i can find) and just jumped in. If y'all are so inclined, follow along and see how she was born.

Of course I started with some 2" OD x 1" ID stock:

Chucked her up and went to town!

Of course I want the BH to be as accurate as possible, but I have only one pix to go by:

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/th_102_1372-1.jpg (http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/?action=view&current=102_1372-1.jpg)

All finished (last night):

Next, chucked up some 1.5" OD x 1.0" ID stock for the ribbed section:

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/th_102_1383-1.jpg (http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/?action=view&current=102_1383-1.jpg)

Coming out okay so far, I think...

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/th_102_1385-1.jpg (http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/?action=view&current=102_1385-1.jpg)

Also used some 1" OD rod for the choke:

Had to turn this bad boy down and bore it out to 5/8":

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/th_102_1395-1.jpg (http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/?action=view&current=102_1395-1.jpg)

First 3 parts ready to go. I also bored out the Ribbed section and the BH some to fit the choke perfectly:

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/th_102_1399-1.jpg (http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/?action=view&current=102_1399-1.jpg)

Starting to take shape!

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/th_102_1398-1.jpg (http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/?action=view&current=102_1398-1.jpg)

I made the final body piece out of 1.5" OD x 1.25" ID stock tube and turned the threads off of a MPS3v2 so it also fits perfectly:

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/th_102_1404-1.jpg (http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/?action=view&current=102_1404-1.jpg)http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/th_102_1406-1.jpg (http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/?action=view&current=102_1406-1.jpg)

Here they are all together:

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/th_102_1400-1.jpg (http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/?action=view&current=102_1400-1.jpg)http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/th_102_1403-1.jpg (http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/?action=view&current=102_1403-1.jpg)

And one shot at the same angle as the reference picture:

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/saber11-1.jpg

Okay, time for set screws and some accent color:

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/th_102_1839-1.jpg (http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/?action=view&current=102_1839-1.jpg)http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/th_102_1849-1.jpg (http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/?action=view&current=102_1849-1.jpg)

And the box quandary has been solved! (this was a PITA, especially without a mill):

Now I need perfectly aligned holes for the accent LEDs:

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/th_102_2320-1.jpg (http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/?action=view&current=102_2320-1.jpg)http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/th_102_2321-1.jpg (http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/drdicarlo/Jacen%20Solo/First%20Ever%20for%20K%20Furneaux/?action=view&current=102_2321-1.jpg)

I think I've got it!

Now, test the fitment and placement of the electronics:

...and wire her up!

and guard that speaker from unwanted spaghetti-ization:

The final switch layout (elegant!) and delrin pommel insert:

Fire it up for the first time..I am proud to present the saber of Jacen Solo!

[iamdrake]

Looking great. Wonderful reconstruction of the picture!

[Jedi-Loreen]

Great saber.

But....

You copied and pasted the same broken links from your "other" post. :|

[ARKM]

Pretty cool saber. A bit Luke ROTJ-ish looking. One thing though, I'm 100% sure someone made one before you, seeing as how your reference pic is a pic of a machined hilt and not CGI. ;)

Not to rain on your parade but I seriously doubt that the hilt in the reference pic is official in any way. It was probably made by a fan. Just sayin'.

Please don't hurt me.

Hmmm... I couldn't tell that it was not CGI. That's also why I said I was not sure...because I wasn't :lol: I also don't particularly care (I am not a 'canon guy') if it is official since i was given a picture and I built it according to what i was asked to do. :) :lol: I won't hurt you bro, you are just sayin what you see and honest criticism is always appreciated.;)


@J-Lo, I just noticed that over at Fx and they are all fixed now. Thanks for the heads-up.:mrgreen:

[Er Dan Gill]

Wicked cool build. Is the pommel the #3 V2 from the store with the threads removed?

*breathes a sigh of relief* Thanks man. Again, cool hilt.

Yes it is. I also turned the 'neck' of it down a little to make it a little more unique. Thanks man!


*breathes a sigh of relief* Thanks man. Again, cool hilt.

:lol: I am no longer an "angry" Sith Lord. I have become a pacifist cyborg. Anyways, thanks Bro.

[equinox13]

very beautiful. ^_^

[Rafalema]

That thing's just plain awesome.

As all your customs have been :cool:

[dgdve]

Would it be bad to say out of all the sabersmiths I missed LDM the most?... ehh and gravy too ;)

[Knighthammer]

Looks awesome LDM - looks like the box was a PITA to build, but the outcome looks great!

[Invisas1979]

The saber is very good, as always your work is top but it looks more like a jaina solo saber to me.

Most references i've seen to jacens saber look like an anakin epi 2. Even the cadus saber looks vader esk.

But then again most non canon sabers are open to interpretation.

[mps]

Man I don't care if it is canon or not. That is beautiful.

[cardcollector]

I like this saber very much! Nice execution on the 5mm LEDs.

[Lord Maul]

Man I don't care if it is canon or not. That is beautiful.

QFT. Great work LDM! You were born with lathe-fu

[Lord Dottore Matto]

Would it be bad to say out of all the sabersmiths I missed LDM the most?... ehh and gravy too ;)

That is very nice to say. Thank you !


I like this saber very much! Nice execution on the 5mm LEDs.

These are 3mm LEDs

@everyone, thank you for the fine discussion and positive comments on this saber. I appreciate that it has been so well received. It seems to me that any time we get into a 'canon' discussion it means that the saber itself is worthy of note. Thanks to all :)

[bk_renesis]

Who cares if they're canon or not they are works of art. Just keep pumping them out mate, you guys are an inspiration to us all.

[RevengeoftheSeth]

It looks great to me, good sir! Very solid piece of art.

[Crystal Chambers]

Nice work...really putting that lathe to work. I'm kinda curious, why the delrin as a pommel insert? Not that there's anything wrong with it, just not something I've noticed/seen done.

Some of the clicky pics aren't working right.

[Treadingwolf]

This is some fantastic work bro!
Nice work on that box.
Your builds imo have always been top notch, and they keep getting better and better. :)

[Jedi coral]

Looks awsome. i have so got to get me a lathe lol. nice to see some scratch build still being done.

[Lord Dottore Matto]

For contrast color-wise (in this case at least) and I had a couple left over from a previous project...waste not, want not and all that.


Thanks everyone...I got another one just about finished for this weekend...very sithly...;)
