Thanks for the comments - I'm liking that name, I think that's what I will cool it.

Thanks!

I feel the need to name my saber. Got any ideas?

Yeah I was kinda unsure, so i never actually secured it to the hilt. It's held in place by the blade screw which is obviously removable.

This allows me to customise the saber a little; I can have...

Thanks!
It's a hole; it did the job well enough :P

Yeah the switch is hidden within the blade, it's kinda awkward to to turn it on but its suits the sleek, minimal design I was going for. Also due to the amount of o-rings finding a place for the...

It's about 50cm in total, with a 36" blade

Electronics are in, just exposed due to lack of a pommel or end cap - I'll get a picture of it lit for you.

The shroud design changed a lot; eventually I altered the design to allow me to simply cut a sinktube in half diagonally. I still have the over half, in case I ever need it again although its a bit...

...well almost I would like to sand it a bit more and it's pommel-less but it's finished enough for me.

It's very basic; Lux III, no sound but that's all I wanted from a first build.

This was...

Hi just thought I'd let you guys know how my saber is coming along:

I got a guy to cut the shroud for me, who owned a dremel. He did a pretty good job although it needs some sanding and a coat of...

Thanks for the help so far. I think I might go with the dremel they seem relatively inexpensive and I probably could just sand away any inevitable errors.
I've found one that looks pretty good, i...

I do have a mitre saw, but its been unused for several months and the blade on its rusty as hell.
I may attempt it, if that fails i'll purchase a dremel and if that fails i'll just go at it with an...

wouldn't a dremel be very inaccurate, especially since the cut is pretty long?

I have access to a band-saw in school which seems ideal, although i am not sure how easy it would be to feed a...

I need to cut a sink tube for a hilt that i am working on. I have cut a sink tube before, with a hack saw, and the results were terrible.

What i need to do is slightly insane; i need to create a...

I didn't expect to get the help I did but I am grateful for it. I am gonna place the order now.

Would you mind just checking my order. I ordered 2 sink-tubes, in case of a mistake. Also no tapping kits are in stock but my school has them anyways.

Order:...

Sairon you are the undisputed master of everything. I may modify your suggestion slightly but that is fantastic thanks. I bow to your excellence and to everyone else that has helped me so far.

oops! Just imagine a button there instead

I think I may go the harder route and use a sink tube. I have slaved in the MHS builder for hours (slight exaggeration) attempting to recreate my design, using MHS parts, but to no avail :(
A sink...

Lol, i have seen some of his brass sabers and they are pretty awesome

Also can a chrome end cap replace a pommel?

Thanks Matt, that's really helpful

One question though: Will o-rings fit over your suggested components?

Also does the LED kit come with a manual?

Admittedly i am not looking forward to creating the shroud. Ideally i would have it look as it does but if i fail to make it i will simply alter the design. Also i am not doing sound either, my mind...

Again thanks for the help everyone

I will go LED, i just found the blade holder i liked but LED compatible. I quickly created by design with the builder and hope you could give it a look.
...

My bad, i will search next time! EL seems perfectly adequate, i will probably get an EL kit.

So will my set-up piece together? All these dimensions are frying my brain! :shock:
