*Special Thanks to Eastern57 for his tutorial on converting a latching Switch to a momentary switch.
My inspiration was imagining the Galactic Empire training droves of jedi and what sort of lightsabers they would issue.
Thanks everyone for making this such a great hobby

I love it! Simple and elegant. And IMO a unique use of the "usual" color scheme. Really nicely done. Did you order the MHS parts powder coated?

[cannibal869]

Agreed! Nice simple clean lines, very elegant! Nice job there!

Thanks, I am a big fan of your sabers.
Tim PCed the parts with Super Wet Black (my fav)

simply... wow

very simple, yet... great. Very good look using parts that I normally don't like

[Goltar Bias]

Love the glossy finish it has very mass production appearence.

[Spidergate]

Very nice. Definitely has a believable Republic issue look to it.

Looks very good! My favorite part on the saber is the LED string because those things ain't no joke to deal with.

Cool...looks good. Nice to see the long choke in action. I always thought it was a nice looking choke but adds hilt length with such a narrow ID. The AV switch and overlay look great. Good job. Looks very slick!

I do have to ask though..

How long is it?
What's the choke like to grip?...seem a bit slim.
How do you find the sound board?...I've seen one in action before and the swing or clash interrupted the hum and delays in resuming the hum.

And are you going to add a recharge port? Just noticed the empty pommel insert.
