That's great! Do you have any designs in mind for your hilt? Going to go basic, or are you going to go all out and trick it out?

I like the 10 degree better. it fills the tube better IMO unless your going with thick walled.

what kinda tubes do you have? shped brass or what?

2. curved metal and plastic vacume handles

1. 2 1/2 ft outdore umbrella tube witch is a cool army green paint

3. scrap sink tubes scratched verry lil rust

and 4 other metal tubes heavy stuff so it should be great for my frankin-saber

but idk what im gonna use idk if i should just use pvc for a start then move on to the metal tubes after i figured out how i wanna cut them

I know the feeling! I bought a sink tube for a shroud on my first saber and they sold me the wrong one....twice! the plus was they gave me more money then i paid for them when i returned them :p
