    This hilt was a challenge. I forced myself to incorporate ideas/techniques that I've never attempted, yet keep my personal 'style' that my hilts usually have. The forward section is all MHS, the rear grip is a 45 deg. piece of electrical conduit with a custom aluminum 'spine' & pommel with apoxy sculpt. The plates on the sides of the rear grip are sound vents and allow access to the recharge port if needed. The main power switch is an illuminated red ring mom. AV switch, the aux. switch is a mom. tactile switch just forward the main switch. The LED bargraph is a Madcow style SMD bargraph with low power indicator. The forward shroud is MHS shroud material. The armor plates are made from sheet aluminum, dremel cut, filed and formed by hand then molded to the shroud with apoxy sculpt. This hilt has some weathering, it is meant to look used but cared for.

    Daaaannng! Very nice hilt. Love the armor plates, the curved pommel end, the sound vents, etc. Looks kinda like a gun. Very cool.

    Very impressive saber, love the armor plating and the curved grip. I think the weathering on the armor plates though really make the saber. You hit the nail on the head going for the used, but cared for feel.

    My question is - which dread pirate...
    Seriously though - that is very cool, and I love the armor plates on it.

    Really cool looking The grip section reminded me of an old flint-lock pistol from a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.
