    Default The crystal chamber for my 1st MHS build.

    Here are pics of the crystal chamber I just finished for my first MHS build. First I want to thank Slothfurnace for the inspiration. Before I saw his chamber, mine was just going to be a crystal between 2 inserts. This chamber consists of a red quartz crystal, 2 # 6 pommel inserts, 2 5mm led holders, Makoto red led, 6-32 threaded rod, brass sheet, brass tubing, knurled nuts, brass acorn nuts, bass string beads (I'm glad I finally found a use for the beads, I've been saving them for a while.), & copper wire. The wires from my main led are going to go through the brass tubing to hook up with the crystal chamber led and the sound board. I'm using the o-rings to hold the brass tubing in place. Please disregard the top screw with hex nut. I was using it help prop it up for pics. Again thank you Slothfurnace for the inspiration.

    Great job.

    Knew something special would come of your first MHS saber, given the detail of your pvc sabers.

    Really looking forward to seeing the saber now.

    Yes, the radiator looks good. Nice use of pommel inserts. What kind of crystal is it?

    Thank you guys. Sunrider, it's red quartz. I forget what the web address is. I did a google search for red quartz & this is what I found. Thank you.

    Much much better! I just finished a chamber this weekend myself but I want to save it to reveal with the saber. Yours looks like a mix of mine and Slothfurnaces. Great job!
