Hey Everyone,
This is my first post on these forums, but I've been browsing them for a couple of weeks now. For Christmas a niece of mine made me a lightsaber out of a wrapping paper tube which I found adorable. After playing with it at our party it broke and got me thinking of making my own for fun. I started looking into PVC and then stumbled on some YouTube videos which lead me to TCSS. Now after a few weeks of planning I've decided to take the plunge and start building one. I'm pretty good with a dremel and various saws and such, however I don't have any of the heavy duty tools; such as lathes and drill presses. TCSS fits the bill perfectly for my skill set. Anyway I've gone thru probably a hundred different designs on the MHS Builder and finally settled on the design pictured here. I'm going to use an NB with a TRI Cree blade, wire up the FOC and use the accent light the NB provides for a crystal chamber I plan on making as well. I'm 90% sure I'll be able to fit everything I want in the hilt I designed, however I'm curious if the speaker will fit in the pommel with the crystal chamber right above it. Other than that if anyone sees something I may not have calculated for please let me know. Thanks for looking!
