1.25 Sinktube padawan saber

[Jagahati]

Here is a saber I made for my nephew for Christmas. I am making my brother (his dad) a saber as well and will post pics of it once it is completed.

The internals include a green Lux 1 driven by a 350ma micro puck, Hasbro sound board from a 3v Mace Windu saber as seen here (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B001IDUB4I/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=165793011&s=toys-and-games).

I used a 4.8v in hilt recharge system utilizing Ni Mh AAA cells. To insure that the board and micro puck did not get too much voltage i used a LM317T adjustable voltage regulator to insure that the board and micro puck only got 3.5 volts.

The grip was made using slip washers and heat shrink tubing (Thanks for the idea DarthHideous) with screws, the switch and the recharge port securing it in place.

The blade will be re-done once I get more celo-wrap it is a thin walled 28 inch blade with the diffuser sold here in the shop. It needs about 4 feet of celophane in it to properly light the entire blade.

It looks great, I think your nephew is going to love it

[Vos Malek]

Looks good! I like the use of heatshrink for the grip.

[Crimsonjedi]

I think that is a good looking first saber for your nephew. I like the pommel design. How old is your nephew? I ask because I did not see a clip on the hilt, and in my experience, the little guys love running around displaying their hilts on their belts.

The pommel is just an MHS to 1.25 sink tube adapter, and Pommel #4. But the combo looks cool. :cool:

[Rhyen Skytracker]

Great looking saber. Your nephew will love it.

I like how you've covered the entire sink tube. Also, the flares at the emitter and pommel ends (coming off the adapters) do look great.

[cardcollector]

That looks really good.

[Kal El Rah]

He is 3 (He is the size of the average 5 year old though) so his new toy is a "direct supervision only" toy.

I have let him play with my saber and my fiances saber when we have family gatherings and he loves them to to the point where its hard to get them back out of his hands.

I am making his dad a saber too they are going to have a blast with them i am sure.

Maybe Ill modify them for belt hanging next year, it is not as if it is a huge undertaking.
