Jay-gon Jinn's Chrome Saber 35 (Cs-35)

[Jay-gon Jinn]

I built this one to try out TCSS' new sleeve material. It's based of my usual design that uses a 5" extension, a ribbed extension, and one of the flanged-type emitters. I tried pout something new for me on this one as well....I cut grooves in the sleeve to create a rear grip instead of using the tubing cutter to score some fake grips on it. I think they turned out pretty good, even though one of them has a nick in it where the cutter got away from me a bit. I had it custom powder coated by a friend of mine, that also wet-sanded and polished the sleeve, emitter, and pommel.

It came back looking too good for the original soundboard I had planned to use in it, an ultrasound 2.5, so I gutted CS-X for it's Petit Crouton, and installed that one instead! This saber is powered by a single 18650 Li-ion rechargeable battery, features a green ring illuminated av switch, a recharge port,and even has an illuminated crystal chamber in the pommel. Here is my 35th Chrome Saber, CS-35:

Jay Gon, that is awesome. Your cuts for the back grip are super clean. Great saber man.

[Jay-gon Jinn]

Thanks, but it looks like I missed a picture when I posted that...there was one slip during the cutting of the rear grips that resulted in this:

Nice! Very nice! I'm glad to see you use MHS sleeve. In most cases I find it looks better then chrome. Nice work on the ribbed section windows. Very clean and smooth. The odd time I've had the dremel jump on me I was lucky to be able to get away with cutting the mistake out. I didn't know you could use a single li ion for PC boards.

Another beautiful saber Jay-Gon! Personally, I'd be thrilled if the only mistake I made on one of my sabers was a tiny slip of the dremel. I really love the way the PC looks underneath the overlay.

The PC on the saber is very nice, and so are the cutouts.

I would've liked to have seen something on the other side of the saber. It looks a little bland on the smooth side IMO.

Looks awesome Jay-gon! I really like that color of PC, looks good, and of course all polished to a high sheen.

You do realize there's no chrome on it thought right...it's polished aluminum.....maybe this should be labled AS-1 instead of CS-35

Beautiful work as always Jay-gon.
The polishing and PC came together wonderfully.
I am also in the mind that the bottom maybe needed a little something, never the less, it's still a beauty.
