Thank you. CC, I thought about waiting, but I couldn't wait to share it. No Havok I don't have any spy cameras. That's funny Dude, thank you.

love it, would not expect anything less from you. Quick question, did you drill out the MPSI6's or did the 6/32 rod fit through after just some simple threading? Good stuff man!

Thank you Shadar. I drilled out the inserts so the 6/32 rods would go through. I also had to drill out the Bass string beads.
I saw that thread on FX saber forum... that man is building the best chamber I've ever seen. In my opinion his even beats Master Yoda's work which is incredible enough.
After building a few sabers, taking your time with a crystal chamber is fun. Nice change of pace.
You're right Crystal. I'm really enjoying it, since the sabers I've been building have been pvc. MHS parts are awesome, working with brass & aluminun you tend to take your time. If you mess up you just can't cut another piece & sand it in a few minutes. I'm really considering taking a machineing class. I feel like I'm at a disadvantage not owning a lathe or knowing how to operate one. Shadar, I forgot to mention this in my last post. I had to drill out the center hole on the inserts too so the led holder can fit.

Actually for my chassis I got some extra tube and rods so I can just slice through it in a sec, and give it a quick rub on the belt sander. The hardest part is that I had to use a drill press to turn down my discs, and I made the common mistake of making room on the disc for the tubes but not the bolts or washers. fortunately I don't have my sound holes yet so I can just twist it and drill new holes..lol. It's nice to have extra material and not have to wait for another order to replace parts.
a simple chamber can be made in no time. Like an hour or two. But I'd rather take a few weekends if it's going to be opened and fully exposed.
Wow, that is really looking great!
Please take some more pics, I love that you're using Bass string beads.
I am just very happy to have contributed here!
Thank you Slothfurnace. I've been playing bass for 20 years, & for some goofy reason I started saving the string beads about 8 years ago. I'm glad I finally have a use for them. They do make the perfect spacer.
I used to put them on my hoop earrings.
