So I got the tip glued on my blade, and was about to put in the blade film when I realized there was dust through the tube. Should have cleaned it first. I tried a dowel with tissue on the end held...

Got the pieces in!

I'm thinking more of a veined silver powder coat. Maybe a couple fin like grips on the bottom near the pommel.

Definitely going to need a lightweight blade for this. The...

Ugh, I just put the order in today and I'm already wanting it to be here. At least I can take them to a local powder coating place and work on making it all pretty before the electronics are...

I've finally gotten back to this after a year of not having the cash to continue.

I've just ordered the parts to finish the hilt. Going to put the original idea for the pommel on hold and try to...

For reference, I have a picture and description of the curved piece in this thread:...

I'm building a curved hilt saber using a stainless steel vacuum wand. It seems to be very tough material, but it is much lighter and thinner than the aluminum. If I have the curved portion on the...

I might do that... of course now I'm realizing that I had intended on getting my little brother a green shoto saber for his size, so maybe cutting this down to length for that could work for him...

The phosphorous material is mixed into the polycarbonate, as far as I'm aware. That could work. Will sanding/using methylene chloride weaken the blade? I was planning on using it as a dueling one.

The mess is 2 inches from the end in a big 5-inch long series of blobs and smears.

Though I do want to ask if sanding the blade as a solution would mean I couldn't duel with it...

Man, this sucks. I took my blade/tip to a friend who keeps sabers, and he was about to use his weld-on to glue the tip to the blade, but because of the heat wave that just came the weld-on had...

No, it's a definitely polycarbonate, not at all transwhite. To be fair I may have left in the the car on a warm day a couple times, not sure. Not oven baking temps though.

I'd contest that. Mine, which is a thick-wall blade--though from one of the companies not discussed here--has warped a little, though I'm not sure if it came that way or if it's just from leaning it...

So I took the vacuum tube to a local hardware store and had my sink tube adapters hammered in there good after cutting it down to size. I was going to drill screw hole in at first, but believe...

So I got my photon blade in and realized I ordered it a few inches longer than I meant to, but I like the balance anyway.

I tried it in my purple lightsaber hilt, and without the diffusion wrap it...

Hey all. Right now I'm in the process of building a curved hilt saber for use in dueling and theatrical combat. It's not my first saber I've owned, but it's my first build.

I've already bought a...

Actually, that's not totally true. Lightsabers aren't shown to be as immediately lethal as a lot of people say. For instance, Dooku didn't manage to remove Obi-Wan's limbs with those two cuts in Ep....

Thanks for the advice, that's a lot more than I hoped to get.

I wanted to build this as a heavy dueling saber, but that's super impractical with the weight of a dueling blade coming off a curve...

Building a curved saber for dueling, figuring out where to put the curve in regards to grip.

If I put it under the grip point, it'll look cool but not impact the saber use. If I put it a bit over...

So I'd be looking at a buckpuck, three resistors and a 7.4v?

Also, how long of a battery life would I be looking at? A much more vague question, I know, but a ballpark in increments of 10 or 15...

If I wanted to power all three LEDs in a Tri-Cree at once (All Blue) for a stunt saber with a recharge port, would I need three Lithium Ion batteries to power three ? What would the requirements be...

If I want an LED momentay switch with no sound and a recharge port, is it necessary to install a momentary to latching converter or will the recharge port work for that anyway?

I'm assuming the...

I plan on building a curved dueling saber. While I'm using mostly MHS parts, for the curved section I'll either be going with PVC heated and bent, or a steel vacuum wand. In the case of the PVC, I...

I plan on buying some sink tube adapters to use on a vacuum wand for a curved hilt build. I wanted to have the adapters powder coated black, and I was wondering if this service can be applied to sink...

Will TCSS blades fit in an ultrasabers hilt? I wanted to buy a photon blade for a us saber of mine,but I don't know if the vendors make different sized blades or not.


Also, how much would a...
