With a 4 axis cnc mill you could do a bas relief of the pattern on the saber.
And if I found a pot of gold, I could quit my day job and buy 4-axis CNC mill.
There's always a bigger fish.
LOL, sounds lika a plan to meAnd if I found a pot of gold, I could quit my day job and buy 4-axis CNC mill.
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Just an idea
maybe for the swirl details you could just roll up sum J.B. WELD and apply it on much like rolling up play dough as a kid lol
just a thought but that was the first thing i thought of when i saw the design on the hilt.
p.s. my wife would love that hilt, she s currently kicking around sum ideas for a custom saber. I cant wait to show her this one.
Your average pot of gold holds around $3,000,000 worth of gold. I have seen tooling go for more than that, and living your whole life on only 3 million... ouch.And if I found a pot of gold, I could quit my day job and buy 4-axis CNC mill.
Bad idea to show your wife this... What if she gives you the puppy eyes and the 'i want one'.... Don't put yourself between a rock and a hard place on purpose...

Well it depends on where the gold comes from. The South African gold market is looking good in future prospects, we've recently found an entirely untouched deposit that will keep us going for another 15 years, so I'd expect the price of gold to go down for a bit. But you never know.

I sounds to me like you may not have worked with JB Weld before.

It starts out very liquidy at first and takes a full 24 hours to cure. If you could catch it at just the right time you might be able to roll it, but it would still probably be pretty sticky. You'd have to press it onto the hilt and then do the fine detailing, by cleaning the unwanted bit off the saber. But it would still be an ugly gray color that doesn't match aluminum.
It sort of sounds like a good idea, for a second, till you start to actually think about it.
I think engraving would still be the best way.
