Cardcollector's "Rak Kazakh" Build thread

[Yoshi-Taka]

The blue piece on the choke/extension really pops out. I like it. I'd love to see a video.

Was it explained earlier what that piece is? If so, I'll go reread the thread.

Love the flat black on this saber, looks great. Looks like an aux switch is wired to the box for activation and av switch is a dud? Future upgrades to PC maybe?

And look who ended up with a cutout under the box!

Awaiting gallery thread and video. Very nice.

Heheh, yeah, I wound up just cutting the darn thing out cause it was easier... doesn't look very nice though. I didn't have time to clean it up like I wanted...

That is a sweet lokking saber, mate! Good on ya! I'd have added some of the blue near the emitter, maybe ringed the end, but that's just me. I really like the shroud too. Pray tell, where'd you get the nylon chasis parts?

I got all the Chassis parts at ACE. I took the extension, and just put washers in the hilt till I found one that fir perfectly. Then I got some nylon spacers... 6-32 nuts... 6-32 threaded rod... and the chassis was born. Really great stuff to work with, nonconductive, easy to shape... I like it a lot.

No ,I didn't explain that, it is just a piece of mHS sleeve material I cut with a pipe cutter and slid on the female end of the ribbed extension. Nothing fancy, just adds a little balance to the lower portion methinks...

BTW guys; Glam thread is up.

Look for jeweler's files. They are very small and fine.

God no... My jeweler set was like $250.

Get cheap metal files, the small one's, that you find in every hardware store. Canadian Tire and Home Depot sells them for $15.

A set of *true* jewelers files might run you that much, but in a lot of hardware stores regular old miniature files might be labeled as jewelers. I got mine at Harbor Freight for ~$5.
