i see that tim isn't making custom blade holders now, so does anyone know somewhere/someplace where i could get one machined for me?

What do you mean he's not offering custom blade holders?

If you mean MHS stuff, you can either buy one of the 12 styles or have Tim do custom work on one to make it just the way you want.

well he is only doing modifying work to existing parts, not straight up custom work

You'd be surprised what you can all make with a basic MHS emitter. Take Eastern57's franken saber. It's reallllly curvy and looks nothing like a normal emitter.

Yeah, the majority of custom stuff here is based on the standard bladeholders. There is very few all out custom work stuff.

Take for instance my choke point on my saber. totally custom

here's a few examples of the blade holder that Tim modified for me, I've had a few:

The way Tim prefers, is if you have a drawing, picture or model of what you want. I just make MSPaint sketches of the renders that Arkai made:

Send it to sales@thecustomsabershop.com with any other instructions of guidelines. And Tim will send you a price quote: either a total price or a custom work fee in addition to the original part.

Then you just buy it from the store. And when you add the custom work fee, put in a description of what your part looks like - he'll still have the picture, but just to remind him which one it is.

easy ;)
