Hey, guys

Just finished a saber build over the past week.

The body is mainly an MHS saber. It has a custom shroud and plug. Once I got all the holes drilled and
tapped and everything in...

Nice looking sabers.

Not trying to hijack the thread topic..

This is another jig I made for finding center on a pipe(There may be betters way of doing so). It works well if one end is larger or flared or something.

Okay, when it comes to saber building I'm still in Kindergarten, So I don't want to comes across as trying to give advice to anyone.

Everything I have learned thus far has been from the guys here....

Here are a few other finishes I've been playing around with.

1st) is a Damascus finish, Like I have in the other topic.

2nd) Maybe Carbonite? can you make a hilt out of carbonite? :confused:
...

Yes, just cold water. This particular paint is rust-oleum 'ENAMEL'(based) It bonds very well to wood, metals or plastics...and this method will work on metals. There are some types of paint that...

Thanks, guys ..Happy to contribute.

I have an idea for an anodized green hilt with Black swirl. It wont be an imitation finish of any kind, but it may look cool. I'll post pics when its done.
