I had a design idea I wanted to try out, and a few MHS parts, so I went to the hardware store and grabbed a 6" chrome extension tube w/nut and put this together:

Here's the new idea I wanted to try out:

I liked the way the "Jewel Pommel" looked on CS-18, but wasn't sure how I could make it work on a saber with sound, and had the idea to use a blade retention pin from an Anakin ROTS FX to suspend the "Jewel" in the center of the speaker resonator and it worked out pretty well, The led isn't exactly centered in the Jewel like would have wanted, but that was the only way to get it to work....the pin was in the center. If I do it again, I may try to offset the pin so the led can be centered better in the Jewel.

no, Seoul P4 blue....the camera makes blues look darker for some reason, it's a nice medium blue in person.

The end cap does indeed have threads, DJ:

The endcap is a nut used for tightening the two plumbing pipes together if it were being used for plumbing.

For those style sabers, I get them from my local hardware store.
