Yeah, look at any of my sabers with G-flex clamps. If you have specific questions, feel free to PM me.

Thanks much, LDM, I'd love to ask you a couple questions.

Your work is inspiring, and has helped push me along on this project. Thanks!

as a student studying machining and design engineering. i have to say i absolutley love your work on this hilt. your design on this hilt is absolutley brilliant and one of the best custom obis ive seen in a long time (next to LDMs MK111 of coarse)

your machine work is clean and top quality and your design works brillinatly. very well thought out, designed, and built. i too am astounded by the awesomeness of how you mounted the blade to shine through, once again amazing work. with your appearant apptitude in hilt design mixed with some knowledge of electronics that will come from here. you will become a great sabersmith.

Hey thanks! I appreciate that. I am a hobby machinist, and have a lathe in the garage, and have been tinkering with this project (in my mind) for about a year, waiting till I have all the pieces laid out mentally before I started on it.

It's not my first saber, but it is my first bladed one...

My first...





Second...








Third...

Your second saber is delicious. It deserves a blade and sound. You should revisit that one

Wait a second. I second that!....regarding the second that is. Your replica is really nice but obviously you've got some design skill as well. Can't wait to see one of your customs fully come to life.
