Also I think this one deserves way better sound when you could get to that point. =] Just a thought.

Agreed - most excellent work for a first saber!
If you ever decide to revise it, I would suggest going with a NB at the very least.
Yes, I did have to drill through the threads. I had to sand them down afterward to get to come apart and back together. But there was no other way to get the look I wanted. My goal from the beginning was to make a saber that was unlike any other I ever saw.
Sweet. Great first. :)
I will upgrade later to a PC or a NB. It will certainly make my internal rooming issue much less problematic. I had an old MR Darth Vader lightsaber with a broken blade that I took the soundboard out of. I have the sound board, a 9 volt battery and a 5v regulator inside the handle. I was trying to do things as inexpensive as I could. But it takes up a lot of room.
Argh I wish I could make that as my first saber. That's awesome.
I like it very cool.
The cuts on the shroud look so clean. How long did that take to get it looking so good?
Great saber! what did you use for shroud material?
I used the MHS Sleeve material. It was all shiny and it didn't look right. I use fine sandpaper to give it a brushed Aluminum look to it.
It wasn't easy making the shroud to look just right. I had a Dremel tool with a sanding head on it. I would roughly sand it down to the correct shape. And then hand sand it with fine sand paper till it was correct.
