Well, I finally finished up my first saber with the parts I got from TCSS earlier today and all of the excellent help on the boards. It's a hardware saber with PVC grip and sinktube. I've got a K2 coming straight off the batteries with a resistor and I plan on hooking up a hasbro board on a separate switch at a later date. Still need to drill and tap for the blade retention screw, and I need to get a covertec belt thingy, but I couldn't wait to post it. Without further ado, here is Rancor:

(I do realize Rancor or hate is a rather non-light side name for a saber, but I'm also a Magic: The Gathering nerd, and Rancor is a green card XD)

Nifty But yeah even for a mtg card name I dont think rancor is a good choice. regardless of the color.

Rancor is a beast, I would use a something il-vic name.

His lightsaber, his name.

I'm gonna stick with Rancor. I like giving weapons the names of emotions, and I think Rancor (meaning a deap-seated enmity or hate) is pretty well suited for a Dark Jedi, which I'm going to be costuming once I can make the stuff.

Haha, earthcraft maybe if I wanted a broken saber... XD

Do you actually live in Atlanta or around it? I'm in Duluth

Oh, and I'll probably have updated pictures in this thread in a week or so. I just placed an order for some more parts and I'm gonna be upgrading my saber (at least aesthetically) shortly.

Awesome... we should meet at Dragoncon


Also... I just got my new MHS parts and finished up my saber. It came out better than I expected. Sorry for the crappy picture, but I was excited... (it's not really copper at the emitter.... just my bad picture)
