Hi all
Thought I'd post some piccies of my first DIY saber now that I've mostly sorted out the hilt. I've got a second switch (a momentary aux switch) to mount in the hilt, the hole for that is already drilled so I just need to cut through the carbon. Aside from that it's pretty much sorted and how I wanted it. I've used uncured carbon fibre for the grip section, the main hilt is just sinktube, and I've then taken aluminium sheet and cut then curved the bands that wrap around it. Finished them off by polishing them up nicely.
Phase III is when my CF v4 arrives anytime now! ;)
