Hi... I am from Argentina, here we speak spanish, so pardon mi english =)
I am new with this stuff and i need some help.
I have some parts to buil the saber: Have the sink tube and the red Led. I can't get the polyC tube, either the difusser. Where do you think i can buy them? The difusser is a tube? What material is it done of? If there is someone who speak some spanish or is from LatinAmerica i would like to talk with him... Thank you for reading my post, nice forum you have...

That would be improper conjugation of the verb "estar". "Estas" is the familiar form of the verb, and which doesn't require the familiar noun "tu" at the end. "Esta" is formal, and with it, you use the formal noun, "usted".

So to your buddy you would say:

"Como estas?"

And to someone not as familiar, you would say

"Como esta, usted?"

Jajaja... Thanks guys for your replies... I know i can buy the stuff from Tim shop... but i dont have credit card... so mi question was where, i mean, at what kind of shops can i buy a polyC tube and a polyE tube...? I dont know if here in Argentina we can get polyE tubes... what other things can i use to build the difusser... and Tim, don't worry, i am not intended to steal your bussiness, besides i m living in the other corner of the globe!!!

Well hopefully without sounding like too much of a jerk...

You could probably find them at shops that sell plastic???

I know you are not trying to steal my business but do you make it a habbit of going into business's and asking them if you can buy the items they sell at some other store? I have nothing against you personally but this sort of question is really getting old.

Yeah, but I doubt he could stop by a grocery store and pick one of those up like we can.[:p]

Tim's payments are through paypal so you have other choices then just credit card. Last time I checked bank account was still the #1 choice in setting up a PP acct.

Just a thought.

Hey tim, I was wondering. Will all these parts work together and fit properly to each other?

1-1/4" x 12" Chrome sink tube- or any tube that is 1-1/4"

Screw on LED/blade holder style 1

Screw on pommel style 1

You have some parts mixed, the screw on emitter and screw on end cap are for the mhs system and will require the purchase of the adapter that goes from the mhs parts to 1.5" diamater sink tube. They will not work with the 1.25" sink tube

If we have enough requests, Tim may make blade holders for 1.25" pipes but like Do-Clo said all of the MHS stuff is geared around the 1.5" pipe.

ok, so i missed it by one letter, remember guys, it was back in 76 thru 77 when i learned spanish, so im a lil rusty. i think only missin it by 1 letter is good for 20 + years. Hola, Chuber, Como Esta Usted? i was tired when i posted it also, so be easy on me, please.

The simple solution would be for Tim to add an adapter from the mhs to the 1.25" sink tube like the one for the 1.5" sink tube that way it would only require stocking one part.

Thanks guys, I'm just trying to find the right parts to fit the saber I want to build. The LED/blade holder is most important. How Does Tim make the LED/blade holder anyway?

The holder is machined out of aluminum stock to the correct size and shape.

Do-Clo I was thinking about sliding the blade hoder in to the pipe never thought of using a large emitter area on a smaller hilt, sounds cool, good call.
Too many choices not enough time[:p]

kinda a stepped down adaptor that one end fits in sink pipe but still is the same size on other end to accept the current screw on holder, brilliant, have a shoulder that fits up against the sink pipe end, where it steps down to fit in sink pipe. kinda like tuims old holders in reverse. if ya get what i mean.

Here is a stunt saber that I built out of my parts box. I used the large end of the 1.25" sink tube to fit a lowes style blade holder. I like the look of the large emitter.

No it is just a plain old saber that is currently on Ebay. It was just a collection from the parts box that turned out well.
