This is the second saber I've posted on the forum. The hilt is a Rainbow vacuum wand with a shroud of aluminum tubing. The grip material is called "whatagrip". The crystal chamber has a real quartz crystal. It's mostly finished. I'm still planning to weather the outer shroud with oil. The shroud is in two pieces and the front part slides off for access to the SD card. The speaker housing is a plastic garden hose cap, sanded to fit and drilled out. I took off the first two threads on the inside and the speaker snaps right in. It also makes a good resonance chamber.
