    Thanks CET. I've found that dremel, powder coating, building the saber is the easy part for me. I hate wiring them.

    Very nice Cannibal! I just did a shroud with etching too. And I feel your pain when it comes to cutting the pattern out by hand.

    I promise you, the primer is gray. That hilt is terribly difficult to take pictures of with the white paint. There is a lot of small nicks and scratches in the paint, and the little bit of grime...

    The wide sections of leather are stitched on under the shroud. But they still wouldn't stop moving around, so yes they are glued in a few spots. The really thin sections are glued on all the way...

    Most of the time I just leave the back section off until my son and I start goofing off. Between that and the deep sleep mode on the NB I think I've charged it once in the last 2 months.

    A short goodbye to TCSS

    I recently sold everything related to sabers. I just don't have the time, money, ability, etc, etc,etc. This was easier than sending individual pm's to those that know me. Been pretty cool watching...
  21. Found a different method for adding rust to a hilt

    So after having one of my sabers "weathered" for me, I decided I'm gonna go a little further with it. Over all make it look like a very neglected, abused, rusty hilt. I was gonna try Eastern57's...
