Sick man. Good placement of activation box!

Hasid Lafre

Thanks, I thought about it for a while and I did that cause A I kinda helpted come up with the design style and its actually comfertable to hold when dueling, I basicly cup around the box and that spot below your thumb is in the perfect spot to hit the aux button.

Nice work. http://www.sunriderbase.com/board/images/smilies/smiley_thumbup.gif







The only thing I don't like is the black set screw for the blade retention screw, but I know that's the only one of that size and length that's carried in the shop. I have some 1/4" 10/32 stainless steel screws that I use.

If you like it, that's cool, I just think a silver colored screw would blend in better.

Hasid Lafre
10-17-2008, 09:32 PM
Thanks, Iam not sure what Iam doing with the screw as of yet. I need to paint the box and top and band and figure out what to do with the neck on the bladeholder.

I want to do the timing belt idea but orings at this point are sounding better by the min.

hey Hasid Lafre what do you mean by unknown Orange led? is it a real Orange led?

Hasid Lafre
10-17-2008, 11:26 PM
Yes it is a real orance lux style led, soldering is like on the k2s, easyer to just solder the wires to the emitter leeds than the pads.

you would have to talk to barmic on the led, It was a PITA to solder. Sid the box top I would leave since it goes well with the color of the blade and really I don't know that the emitter needs anything (I forgot those damn o-rings) lol

where do you buy it?????

Hasid Lafre
10-18-2008, 11:29 AM
I bought the led from BR and I think he got it from rapid eletronics or something like that.

Hey Hey! You Finally have a saber again! It looks good. It looks like a dueling version of VT's CF V3 saber - appropriate some how ;)

Nice job, duder!

Thanks a bunch fellas.

Well my bro(vt) his saber is longer and it has a 4.0 now and its changed around a bit, the only thing that really seems they are alike is the control box setup. My bro really should update the pics of his saber. :D:D:D

Looking good Hasid. The orange blade looks great.

Awesome! Like everyone else, I love that orange! It makes it really unique. I'll bet there aren't many sabers out there with a blade that color.

Love that custom choke too!

Hasid Lafre
10-19-2008, 01:53 PM
Thanks a bunches guys!

The choke is really comfertable to hold, the ends where it goes back to the regular mhs size is really smooth. Almost like it was polished smooth but its not polished.

It turned out freaking sweet HL! You and your bro make a great saber building team! :cool:

I need to pick up some of those Orange LED's from Rapid Electronics :p

Hasid Lafre
10-19-2008, 02:10 PM
Well get to it!

I said it before, and I'll say it again:

Very Very nice! I tend to like the more simple and clean (not to quote Kingdom Hearts) look on a saber, and the Luke Parts set it of nicely. I do like the black set screw as it allows a little contrast to the overall look. That's just a personal preference mind you, but still.

I just wish I had the time to work on my own sabers more often. Perhaps around Christmas or so, I might actually be able to finish my V2's and my Do-Clo Custom personal Mods.

Hasid Lafre
10-19-2008, 08:08 PM
Thanks Morbo!

Yeah I just need to get rid of that damned orange on the box top!

Yes that is who BR is.

Hasid Lafre
12-09-2008, 08:24 PM
Yeah and its been a while sence you have been around.

Took you long enought to come around to look at it.

But I still need to finish the damn thing.

I love that grip :) I like the way the saber looks.

Hasid Lafre

Well the speaker is near dead and going to have to replace it. Guess that's why it was just as loud as an MR saber with the speaker at the end of the pommel.
