CUTE! :D

Awwwww

Fire AND knives! DOUBLE dangerous!!!

All you need to do is add chainsaws in at the same time and you've got a world beating act! ;)

Cracking idea. I've always felt (for a year of lurking here) that the switches are the one thing that really let the sabers down. They just generally look so naff on that nice shiny metal hilt.

I...

I've not actually worn a saber held on by either method so I don't have a practical perference, however I DO like the "old skool" nature of a D ring over a covertec clip. Very OT. :)

Rockin. I guessed that a number of you "old hands" might have seen them before ;) Thought I'd post them for those that hadn't though. Certainly I was impressed as a first time stumbler... so to speak!

Suddenly I see some SERIOUS fun on the horizon once I've started/completed my first "proper" saber project. Good job Tim!

Did you realise, that the word "gullible" isn't actually in the English Dictionary???


( :wink: )

Ok, not STRICTLY on topic, but thought it might impress anyway!

The web page even tells you how to build the thing from existing Lego parts. It's not...

I've found 32mm rubber ferrules (rubber feet that go on the bottom of walking frames, chairs etc) HERE.

They would make good end caps for a kids'...

As coincidence would have it I posted a thread on a few hours ago HERE on pretty much exactly the same topic!

1) Jay, have you just dirlled and tapped straight through the PVC?
2) Do you know...

I did find 35mm OD (1.378") copper tubing at about £7.50 per metre before VAT. However it comes in 3m lengths so you're looking at about £30 for a length! When I get sufficiend funds together I'm...

Cheers for that! Both very helpful comments! I might have to do some experimentation with a heat gun to see how hot it has to be to deform! :twisted:

I suspect that if no-one has any direct...

Hi all. I've been lurking for a year (posting here and there) but haven't yet actually built a saber yet. I usually jump in at the deep end with these things, buy loads of expensive tools then get...

So far this seems to be one of only 3 advantages to living in the UK as far saber construction is concerned:

- Easier access to Armitage shanks handwheel for pommel (although I have yet to look!) ...

Crumbs! Ok, thanks for that. Useful to know (even though I'm no where near building a hilt just yet!)

Rustoleum. White can with a bunch of green on it and pictures of kitchen appliances on the front.

Takes a LONG time to dry, so be patient. Also prone to runs and drips, so multiple thin coats is...

Agreed, or even longer.

However I'm mooting the idea of double staffs (one in each hand), for which they ideally need to be shorter. It's a slightly different project, granted.

That's pretty sweet! I'd be dead pleased if my first saber turned out looking that sleek (hopefully it will!)

I hear ya!!! Same problems here too.

I think we have largely similar plans. 4' overall length would be perfect for me. If you're using these for staff spinning rather than "saber" use, have you...

I'm looking into building staffs like that. Ones that can be used in a single hand with the highest "blade to hilt" ratio possible. Do you have any suggestions then?

I ask because I want to make...

AAH! Thank you very much!!!

As you're the man with the tools, would you please be able to tell me the inside diameter too (in inches and mm) please?

In fact, if you happen to have blade to...

Ok, I don't know what the exact size is. I haven't yet pulled a Maul apart. I've got an ULTRA converted Maul coming soon so if I pick myset up some accurate callipers then I'll be able to tell you.
...

Ok. I've been searching around the forums for an answer to this and have read lots of other interesting "Maul" miscellany but not what I'm looking for.

Does ANYONE have a supplier for PolyC tubing...

I wanted to get into glow staff building for staff spinners. Much like what you've made but with a totally plain hilt with a thin tube of silicone over it for grip. I played with a breadboard and...

It's no good. The EL film in it is all smashed up and has holes in. He's been meaning to get it fixed for a couple of years. Besides, it's already with Alex of Ultrasabers!
