On the lower grip,its a push on/of switch,the saber will also have an mr luke sound board.And the prongs will be made from flatbar about 6/16 of an inch thick,they will be welded or I will secure them with a slightly recessed socket head screw from Tim.In case you could not tell that green thing in the saber is a light-up crystal showing through a cut-out.

for the green thing, just make it be the blade. otherwise, your blade holder probably won't be long enough

Well once I get some money and a lathe for the ribbed grip, so hopefully in 6 months,but im anxious and i'll do whatever to get it done,but yes I will post progress pics.Lord Maul I have completely figured out the design and ive drawn it up,but I dont understand how it wont work.Remember,this render isnt exact for scale size,the crystal wont be that close to the emitter,it will be Tims plain screw on emitter then I will carve it out into the render shape with a dremel.Oh and there is two leds one for the crystal and one for the blade.
