Just beautiful! Class A work there. Everything flows, has a great overall design, and the details are all there. I like it a LOT.
As far as a short blade, I don't know where this comes from since many REAL swords have a blade less than 32" with the exceptions being great swords like Claymores and the like. Makes things very manuverable and quick. I actually prefer a 34" blade on my personal saber and I'm 6'2".

Fantastic... I really like your style you have a great I for design and for pulling together all the elements you need to put it all together... Love the lips on the overlays....

I really like the layered sink tube lips.
A very nice elegant saber you have there. I also prefer shorter blades, like around 32 - 34" dependant on how long the hilt is. I size my blades by holding the hilt at the grip with the blade pointing down and with the blade touching the floor your forearm should be around a 90 degree angle to your upper arm. But that is just the way I do it and I am sure other people measure there blades differently. It the blade is too long it will interfere in some of the spins and dueling. Awesome job on the saber.

It only comes from my own opinion.As far as a short blade, I don't know where this comes from since many REAL swords have a blade less than 32" with the exceptions being great swords like Claymores and the like. Makes things very manuverable and quick. I actually prefer a 34" blade on my personal saber and I'm 6'2".
And these are not (real) metal swords nor heavy.
I do view lightsabers as two handed weapons and to me they don't look OT length without 36 or 38 inches of blade length.
Nice looking saber. Cool shroud work.

Thanks!
Yeah this was my first saber, but I had some trouble with the sled and electronics shorting out so I put it aside and worked on other sabers till I could come up with a solution. I also tend to have several projects on the go at various stages so that the fun parts of one project will inspire me to work on the areas that are not as enjoyable on another ones. This way when I'm fed up with research or electronics for example I can work on designs and creating hilts.
