My first saber (not finished)

[Darth Ralak]

This is my first saber still have a few things I want to do to it. I was wondering if it is ok if the blade hoder itself gets warm.:confused:

[Rhyen Skytracker]

It is ok if the blade holder gets a little warm. The heat sink in in direct contact with it, which also makes it part of the heat sink too. Nice first saber.

That’s a good start...this coming from someone who hasn't built a saber yet lol; I think I have gone a bit advantageous with my first design. Most are starting off as you are in the K.I.S.S method. I look forward to the updates to come.

[Jedi-Loreen]

Advantageous? Or do you perhaps mean adventurous? Or something else? :confused:

Overzealous, maybe. :-P

[Jedi coral]

All of the above lol sorry. I clicked change on the spell checker and it changed it on me. I didn't have enough time before I left to change it to audacious. I spelt it with an s and not a c and it was picked up. Any way enough about my bad spelling lol.

What other things are you planning on doing to the saber?

[cardcollector]

I like the emmitter... can't wait to see some grips added to it!!:rolleyes:

[Jedi-Loreen]

Ah, audacious, I was trying to think of that word.


We'll look forward to seeing that saber finished up Ralak. :)

[DJMoonbass]

i love that blade! is that one of the acrylics from random sabers?

[Jedi-Loreen]

That's not acrylic.

To me, it looks like a thin walled polycarbonate blade that needs a few more feet of cellophane gift wrap inside it.

[Eco]

Doesn't look like it has any poly in it yet.
Good start though!

[Darth Ralak]

Thank you Rhyen.
The blade is 1in ploycarbonate tube 1/8 in thick, and right now it is just clear with nothing in it.
I was thinking about using Tsuka maki on the grip. I might be getting in over my head with the grip but oh well you learn by trying.
;)

[Revan]

i like that green

[Darth Ralak]

Ok guys and gals just a update. I used glass frosting spray on the blade. It does ok i just cant take pictures with the flash on. I had a brass accent on the back of the hilt but my saber fell over on a concerte floor and bent it all to, well lets not go there. Well more to come. :D

[wookieecrisp]

That's cool! I love the emitter.

[Sairon]

I'd recomend putting in four feet or so if polyP or clear gift wrap for the commoners. it will help make the blade look more even.

[Darth Ralak]

Well i just went with some weather stripping for the grip and put some clear wrapping paper in the blade i just need to remake the brass accent and i will be done with this one. ;-) I put a pic of the brass piece before it crashed

[JediMasterDak]

Nice addition dude!
