Very interesting. This is turning into a good looking unit.
PVC is an amazing material. The dust can get out of hand though...
I like the black pair. Very serious look to them...
The more I learn, I'm thinking about leaving the configuration as-is and installing it in a custom hilt. I appreciate the input, thanks...
Excellent work...
8 wires? Well that's a little intimidating. An audio jack is definitely not gonna cut it. I had no idea there was any type of sensor in the blade itself. I didn't want to disassemble it until I had...
Sorry I should have been more specific I guess. I want to keep the stock LED string blade, but add a plug to it so it can be removed.
I remember seeing one somewhere years ago that utilized (I...
Cleaning up in my basement I've found a Master Replicas Vader model that I got in a trade long ago. Older model with the fixed blade (I'm pretty sure it's a 2005) I'm thinking of gutting it and...
I really like the copper shroud. Very nice work on this one...
High demand for high quality products in a very small niche market pretty much means you need patience and persistence.
I'm typing this on my i5s right now. It might not be as streamlined as your...
Love the blue/white scheme. Somehow it seems a very proper "look" for a lightsaber...
That is nice. Good use of "scrap" parts.
I'm discovering that a retention screw made to look pretty does not deliver sufficient torque to do its job properly, and have been thinking of how to...
The black chrome is an excellent contrast. Very nice...
A lot going on with this one! Your eye is always being drawn somewhere else, there's so many little details. Very nice...
Yea 32 is pretty interesting.
And 41. That blaster looks menacing...
That is well executed. Nice job on the polishing, it looks flawless...
The sink aerator worked out pretty good. Both of those are nice looking weapons.
That looks excellent. Well done...
That looks like a battle-scarred veteran all right. Great weathering and aging treatment...
I was also wondering if the speaker was under the recharge port.
That is a fine looking weapon for a young padawan, excellent work...
Ah yes, having the right eye for parts hunting is a good thing. The furniture inserts look great.
Additionally, I'd bet these plugs have the heft to just drop out when you want them to, vs. light...
That hilt doesn't even look like PVC anymore. That is a fabulous finish.
A tutorial of any kind on painting would certainly help me, I've been struggling with painting a PVC shroud for a week...
Simple belt hook for a ring. Forged from steel rod stock, three pieces brazed together.

One hand and off, simple and tough. I thought I would feel the saber dangling and banging...
Good ideas. Especially the storage port. Nice job!
Yes, magnets are always cool...
Thank you all. Yes Greenie, 1.25" Sch 40 PVC. I rigged my lathe to take material out of the inside to get the right fit. The ring defines the forward extreme of the grip, and the other bits got added...
