New to the board. Just wanted to say hello. I am a hobby machinist I started out making custom machined aluminum saber hilts about 15 years ago back in the early Jeff Parks days. Back then I was one of the first few to start using LED's as a lighting source utilizing a solid acrylic rod. After being out of the business for years Ive started machining sabers again because of requests lately! I found this blog and am amazed to see some of the innovations that many of you have come up with using LEDs to light your blades very cool. I am also very impressed with the supply of really cool parts available here. I am now in the process of making a new hilt and im going to use one of the polycarbonate blades with the plastic wrap core. I had one question has anyone used a thick walled 3/4 inch tube with the plastic wrap core and had good success?
looking forward to talking with some of you and sharing info.
