My latest Sith saber :)

[Ripper]

This is a saber I made for a friend who wanted to give her boy friend a saber for his return from the Navy. She wanted a thick Trans red tube for the blade because she said her will be deferently dueling with this saber! I cut some brass sink pipe for the shroud and a 1 ¼” sink tube for the center part of the hilt. I got a Cheapo Hasbro sound card in there, and 4 AAA’s powering the saber. This was a fun saber to make and the weathering was a pain this time. So I did both paint weathering and piratical weathering. So this saber look real jacked up and it looks like it has seen a lot of action. My specs are below. Thanks a lot guys for taking a look. Again sorry about the pics.

Wow. You're certainly ripping them out. lol Your pics are getting a little better. It looks to me like you`re taking them too close and maybe enlarging cropped pics for close ups might work better. Interesting use of parts but I should mention from experience sinktube doesn't hold a very strong thread and should you find yourself taking it apart and together a few times you`ll end up with a loose connection and wobbly hilt. Although having a lot of overlap in you tubes may help. I've never been a fan of the coloured blade but it does appear to have a nice red.

I hate the red tubes to tell you the truth. But the lady wanted a “Super thick blade. Oh and can it be red too?” So wa-la!! The sink tube connection, I hope it stays stronger. I read the review on Tim’s page and was a bit spooked of that. But on the gender changer I put the sink tube almost al; the way in the changer and I got some JB weld in there with two 8-32 screws in there hold the shroud. So I hope that side is OK because that’s the side I was most worried about. But she’s gone now. And the girl JUST LOVED it! I love that feeling! A lot better then portraits!! Something more youthful about the reaction.
