I just wanted to show you all my first saber and thank all the people who were so helpful on these forums.
Please let me know if I can improve upon it.

Awesome idea with those handle things, I'm totally stealing that design cue!

Looks good!
The emitter section is beastly. Great job for a first saber keep up the great work.
Wow that is nice! What did you use for the pommel?

that is great. I thought about doing the same thing with that same design. Gotta love Big Yellow Box. They have some great hardware saber designs. Just needs to have some tweaking for the internals. I can't seem to find the right shower head around here though.
thanks guys, it was a great experience, and i think i have started a new hobby. The pommel is a shower head that i got from a local hardware store, I did not find it at a big chain store.
Basically you want to look for the cheapest shower head that still has a chrome finish, mine was around $5.
Yellow box was a great resource, I extended my tube 3 more inches , added the TCSS pieces, and changed a few other things so that it could function as a light up saber.
Very nice saber. Especially the emitter part which looks very cool.

Being a Jedi is no different. Identify the pitfalls and learn the proper path, or you fail the Order and sacrifice yourself to no good purpose."
If people are interested in that emitter design, the proper term for those steel pieces are "footman loops" and they are a boating accessory.
Also yellow box used rivets but that didnt really work if u wanted to add additional components to the inside, so instead you can drill and tap all the holes around the emitter and shave down some screws to use instead. Also, since screws are used you can access all the parts of the saber if anything goes wrong.
