I'm not putting sound in this saber, this one is primarily for costuming.

Thanks Obi, In stead of powder coating i'm looking at anodization of the parts. The color palette i'm looking for is Crimson, with gold and black accents.

haha, I understand JVit, I just really don't desire to have my saber on my belt. I'll decide eventually where to place it...maybe...

Thanks. I definitely love SW too much to do something asinine. Triumph the dog mask?!? Really? I've been involved with SW lore since I was a lad and as such have been steeped in the canon and...
