I want to do some saber handles! If anyone has wood parts they would like something burned on please hit me up!
Been doing a little practicing. This is my most recent finished project.

Thanks Greenie. Feels kinda crude but they will get better.
So I tried my hand at woodburning. Im learning its really called pyrography. Stormtrooper sugar skull image I found online. Ive got a lot of learning to do. But its a fun medium.
...
Try a micro media blaster. Ive masked off the ring and taken the chrome off of them before with good results. Its a lot easier to put right where you want it than sandpaper. And less aggressive.
Im really glad to see this being discussed again. I asked about collet style holders a few years back and got very little response. Seems like such a simple solution. Used to use similar products...
I notched the front section of the mask to give some retention. Then I overlaid both sections to give it good strength. I just reblended the lines and smoothed everything out afterwards.
This is...
That hinge door is dope.
That shroud sits somewhere between art nouveau and art deco. Love it!
Pretty much have everything wired up except the FoC. Waiting on the SMD resistors to get here.
Edit: well, I cant seem to embed the video, just click it. :P
...
Yea, with the shroud on it will have a kind of guarded effect. But each of them will still have a jewel on top for the actual button. So semi-recessed when its all said and done.
What I cant get from TCSS I get from Mouser or Adafruit. Yes, if I can I will mount them to the chassis itself.
Either mounted directly to the chassis or possibly inside a shroud plate. I havent decided yet. Waiting on the stones to get here so I can figure out how bright the switch led's are going to shine...
Lol, no. Thats why a picture is worth a 1,000 words.
You know, now that Im looking at it, it would be friggin sweet to make the 8 holes in the pommel cap the housings for an 8 LED PLI. ...
Hey, gimmie some credit here! I mean Im going to tap out the center hole in the actual pommel cap. So that I can fit the charger plug through it to reach where the MPS insert is seated inside. As...
Im planning on building them into the chassis so they sit just inside the handle. Ill be using a couple of cabochons (pink lab opal, amethyst) for the covering push-buttons.

I actually plan on using this one and making the center hole on the pommel cap large enough to fit the charge plug into. That way I wont even have to remove it to charge the saber or put the kill...
They are all fun!
I have also found that the MPS inserts will fit snugly (in reverse) into pommel style #4. You need to trim them down on the rim so that the pommel cap will clear the threads. ...
Starting a saber for the wife today. This will be my first shot at wireless RICE. Looking forward to messing with that a bit. The only real criteria she gave me was (naturally) pink or purple...
+1 to that. Looks very much like an engraved piece that was buried. Love it.
Thanks! Im really happy with the overall color scheme. I believe this one is going to a female friend of mine.
CF 8 with wireless RICE going inside.
...
Finally got around to doing the abalone inlay panels. Im very pleased.
