thanks for the suggesion xwing I hope to get more suggestions hay maybe I should enter this into the photo cropping contest :lol:

[elrond.406]

so how much [$$$] would this cost?

That wasn't me... :P

I don't think I'd use the graflex glass eye. Looks like a socket head screw or something.

Also I'd use a parks box... definately where that came from.

The real interesting part here is your idea for the double connector... while it wouldn't work all that well for this one (unless you used a set screw), but in the normal situation that's fantastic!

Tim, is lathing it down possible? That would allowing lining it up easy. Add a set screw and the sucker is in there.

haha did you think i was xwing jedihilt?

[JediHilt]

Holy crud! what was I halucinating how did I mistaken you for xwing :lol:

and is it possible to custom order pieces so instead of shortning the 3inch female/female just have one made that's shorter?

[987654321a]

its the custom work fee that costs 10 bucks in the store. just add that and email tim with what ya want done and hell do it.

[xwingband]

and is it possible to custom order pieces so instead of shortning the 3inch female/female just have one made that's shorter?

Since it's a saber that never actual existed in the movies I don't think proportions are that big of a deal.

[JediHilt]

Well your not horrridly picky like I am I have sort of a disease for perfection of lightsaber design I have been a closet lightsaber fan for about a year now and still don't even have a MR.FX lightsaber because I'm so picky about the design I haven't found one I really like yet rather like when Aniken would take forever picking out which speeder to use :lol:

[xwingband]

Not picky... :lol:

You don't know me. I'm an architecture major... I do design all the time. I just don't demand perfection of a replica of a saber that never existed. I design my own sabers anyway... I've done very few replicas.

You know Luuke of thelightsaber buys customs and when he likes them says they're "blah blah's" hilt?

[Strydur]

I could machine that section down but I have a better idea that I am working on for the dual sabers.

Countdown..
Please dont tell people that I will do custom work for $10. If you read the description it starts at $10 and goes up from there depending on the job.

[987654321a]

sorry i thought it meant that since the picture on that product is sort of misleading. im sorry tim never meant to say something wrong.

[jjshumpert]

if you read in the description it says for custom work orders that tim askes for the total of 40 dollars a job, use the custom button 4 times...

[xwingband]

if you read in the description it says for custom work orders that tim askes for the total of 40 dollars a job, use the custom button 4 times...

Still off... IF he asks you to pay $40 you add it 4 times (or quantity of four). He could ask for any amount depending on how much work you are asking for.

[jjshumpert]

well i did not post as gramatically correct as xwing, but the idea was the same

I say if your going to do a MHS representation of something then have fun and do it. But do it so it lights up!!!!!

You want Tim to custom up a M/M section why not also lathe the blade holder so that you have something that works and make that the top half.

OBTW, this has already been done with MHS LED stuff.

And it is little LED's :P

have money burning a hole in your pocket

Does this mean you have alot of money or a little?

[JediHilt]

what you've never heard that before it's when you have money and dying to spend it on something so much so it's like the money is hot in your pocket and it's burning you so you want to spend it fast.
