    I will have to trim down the diameter a tad just so it will fit inside the graflex top, and maybe cut down some length.

    you *do* know that there's a cheap replica brass graflex top available in the store, right? granted it's brass, but nothing a little powdercoat or spray paint can't take care of... just sayin'...

    A bit of an update, I decided to install the graflex clamp lever I have into the new TCSS box...



    I drilled a hole through the side of the TCSS box, and a larger hole on the otherside for the thinned nut.



    It makes the saber feel more "original trilogy" Which is what I am going for.

    A perfect addition indeed!

    Here's a shot of the freshly painted middle ribbed section. I wanted to enhance the contrast between the graflex shroud and the middle area, to bring out the curves more. I may weather this down a bit some. I also need to cut a hole for the AV switch for the box.

    A little work on the emitter, made from found pieces and a chunk of steel I dished and polished to mirror smooth so it reflects the blackened metal gear piece I have around the machined brass LED holder.



    I like the way the outer steel piece reflects the grooves in the gear.
