    No, seriously, I'm kinda interested in seeing how this turns out visually.

    I would highly suggest following the "if you're new read these" links in my signature, as well as doing a lot of reading, especially of the A-to-Z build threads. Between them, these should answer...

    The one thing I'm looking at is that aluminum disk that's designed to lock between MHS sections... and how the holes in it won't work with the acrylic disks.

    Uh, yes. That's overkill. By about three 18650s. Also, 18650s are larger than AAs.

    My advice, especially for your first build, is to stick with alkalines - four AAs or AAAs will be more than...

    I doubt it. From what I can tell by reading the descriptions, it looks like it's a brand new size for the store.

    With set screws I usually go with the 10/32 x 1/4" set screw Tim sells. Big enough to get a satisfying hold on the blade, and short enough to not stand out against the blade holder. Any screw will...

    For myself, I'd probably go with pommel 1 - it just seems to flow a bit better than either of the other two to me. Either way, I think you've got a good start going here.
