Wow! I couldn't have hoped for a better response. Thank you. I'm not gonna quote everyone but all your comments are very much appreciated. :mrgreen:
Thanks dude. When I saw DCLS004 I figured I should try harder ;). Thanks for the YT like. I had to set up an account so I could post a vid :rolleyes:
I made a 'mushroom' shaped button to fit in a hole through the hilt, held off with a piece of foam under the brass thumb plate. I'll add some pics later.
Too kind. That was the aim really. A bit of restraint so as not to detract too much from the reveal but enough to marry the two together.
Thank you. For pipe and tubing try K&S metals at any hobby shop. Better still check darth_chasm's thread 'things I've picked up along the way' , he's got it covered.
I am humbled but no, I am but a learner. Keep searching;)
I added a vid link to the original post. It's my first public vid so apologies if it's a bit crap but you can see that the saber functions, in and out of the hilt (no camera tricks and best shots only).
Thanks again

I know I've gone a bit pic heavy, but you're wondering where the board is :wink:

Access to the SD card.
And the work of art chassis opens to reveal the power inside. Just fantastic.
I don't even know what to say. This saber is overwhelmingly beautiful! This is how I would envision an actual lightsaber would look outside and in.
i don't have the words. What you did inside is really amazing work. What you did outside is smooth and sleek, simple and elegant, very beautiful!
Wonderfully done!

Usually when I look at a build thread, I find something I don't like about a saber. For once, that's not the case. I love everything about this saber, especially the vents in the blade holder. And the layered shroud. And the insanely detailed chassis. And the pressure plate switch! I definitely want to have something like that in a saber at some point. Amazing job overall, Greenie.
Mic drop....... Really amazing!
