Thread: My First Saber: Sentinel

    Default My First Saber: Sentinel

    This is the first saber I've built, and I must say that it certainly won't be the last. In fact I'm already working on another one as a birthday present for m'lady. I initially wired this as a direct drive stunt saber, but that lasted all of about a week before I rewired it and added sound. It's nothing to write home about, but I'm really enjoying it.

    The specs:
    Hilt 4 w/Black Wrinkle PC
    Choke 3 w/Flat Black PC
    Pommel 3v1 w/Insert 12
    Blade Holder 10
    White P4 w/2 TCSS color filters
    6V 4AAA Battery Solution
    Hasbro Econo Board
    28" Corbin Style Battle Blade
    Custom Blade Plug

    Could you post a pic of your blade-plug on its own? I mean, not in the bladeholder?

    Great work for a first saber. Good luck on your next one!

    Looks good to me, too. Nice accents for a clean, yeoman-like hilt. I'm interested in what your design is for your lady.

    Great saber for your first attempt, very simple yet stylish. I like the blade plug, suits the blade holder. I have one of those but could never figure out how to fit a plug that wouldn't just look stupid. Well done. Are you going to attempt s more complex saber for your 2nd one, maybe with accent LEDs?

    Ditto some of the comments above. I love the clean and elegant look to this "elegant weapon of a more civilized age." I wouldn't mind seeing your interior setup, as well as a video that might demonstrate the sound that it's got.

    Thanks for posting! Love it!


    Remember, your LED will ALWAYS look brighter in pics and vids... If you're not playing with it at night, it's not gonna impress you...

    For those who requested here's a better shot of the blade plug by itself. It's pretty basic, much like the rest of the saber. I used two pieces of PVC (1/2" & 3/4") sanded to fit, some spare 18 AWG, some paint, and a small chunk of interestingly shaped glass. And, that's all she wrote.
