Thanks for the kind words!



Unfortunately I didn't take any pics. I'm overall pretty bad at taking WIP pics...I get something put together and then realize, "that would have been a good WIP...

I think you can work something out. If you rearrange your parts in a different order you can achieve the same design aesthetic while ensuring enough room for the parts you described. It will be...

This is my eighth build, and first build for another person. My client (AKA my girlfriend...have to start somewhere!) wanted something that was "sleek, and cool, and you know like an apple product". ...

For what it's worth, you might find that you get a better shade / a more "purple" purple if you got your hands on a Royal Blue/Red/Green Tri-rebel or Tri-Cree LED.

The royal blue LED has less...

Thanks for the kind words! I am really proud of the overall build.

Unfortunately I didn't take any build-log style pictures of this one. I used Shapeways to get the design printed...if you guys...

This is my latest build. It took about 4 months to go from concept sketch to final build. Overall, I am really happy with how this turned out. I used stock MHS parts and materials from the TCSS,...

All MHS V1 have an outer diameter of 1.45". All double female, most adapters, and "main body" parts have an inner diameter of 1.25". Extensions that are ribbed, v-grooved, or double male parts have...

Well, I have completed my MHS ESB Style Darth Vader lightsaber. I decided against trying to replicate the cutouts present on the Heiland/MPP flash tube, mainly because I don't have a good way to do...

I have been itching to build a Darth Vader saber ever since I first became involved with this hobby. Though, that style of saber always seemed to be outside of my reach (i.e. technical abilities,...

Thanks for all the kind feedback!



It's more vibrant in person, though it's hard for that single red LED to overpower the Rb and Cw LEDs when they are running together. I do have the board...

Hello everyone! I finished this up a couple of days ago and spent the last few days fine tuning the PC v3 settings to my liking. I will shoot and post a quick video tomorrow.

This is my 5th...

Thanks! I just wanted to make sure. I sorta feel like an idiot, because when I think about it now, it makes sense that everything on the board would run in parallel. Again, thanks for the help!

Hey everyone! I was hoping someone who had been down this path before could give me some pointers. I have been planning a saber with a crystal chamber for awhile now...and I am to the point where I...

I hit the post button too soon...must be past my bedtime.

Life might be easier if you wire the red and blue in series, in which case the diagram is good to go. There is a good chance you will...

Head over to The GCS website. Madcow has his "shop secrets" how to video series there...it cost a few bucks, but you get access to the vids for a year. One of the vids is a how to on wiring up...

Tri-rebels are very user friendly to wire up, the pads are far enough a part that you have some wiggle room. Usually, two of the die are linked in series or parallel for the blade with the third...

Looks great!

Thanks for the positive feedback! The speaker is mounted near the pommel. There is a ring of holes near the top of the pommel to let the sound out, I drilled them out to be a little bigger. The...

Second saber, far from perfect, but I am very happy with it...and waiting on a resistor to run the FOC. First attempt at shroud work using a sink tube. Features a PC 2.0, rebel tri-star deep red,...

Prototyping, part 3.

Here you can see some sleeve work using Fimo polymer clay. I would like to add that this was pretty easy to pull off...I used beige, white, and translucent white clay. I...

Thanks for the tip!!

So far I am happy with the PVC, but it doesn't come without a few drawbacks. The schedule 40 pipe is thick, and it isn't a perfect match to MHS parts. Though, I have a few more mediums to try out...

Second attempt, this time with some carving.

This would depend on a few things.

Changing the color could be as simple as using a colored disk...while easy this has some drawbacks, reducing the brightness being of your blade being one of...

I have searched around on this forum and others...but I was looking for a "how-to" on making "bone" sleeves for MHS lightsabers. I am in the planning stages for a saber that will used a bone shroud,...
