Arryck Corso presents --- AETHON

[Batosai]

a really elegant design!
how long is the hilt?

[Arryck Corso]

It measures at just under 13.5" and feels great to hold. Should be fairly well balanced when complete.

Looking good so far, Arryck, and it's quite a nice design too.

Got a small update. Managed to get my main shroud work about 80% done. Still got a lot of filing, sanding, and polishing to do. But it's coming along quite nicely.


Here's a couple of pics before.





And here are the afters. It's not quite done yet but I'm getting there.






Once I get all the edges cleaned up and as symetrical as possible, I'll take this to my buffer and bring it to mirror finish. Should really pop nicely when paired with the flat black of the base parts. More to come soon. Thanks for looking!

Looking good so far. Nice work on that shroud. I'll be watching this one with interest.

I'm really looking forward to see the finished saber ;D
Looks great so far

[Arryck Corso]

Well I've got another small update to share with everyone.

Here is the blade holder with my mods. Found a local little shop that machined this for me. It came out really well. Exactly what I had in mind.





Here it is on the saber. The shroud is still rough but I'm getting closer.





Finally here's AETHON....so far! It's really coming along beautifully. Enjoy!!!

Wow, great job on the shroud. Is that done with a dremel? Really great job on the emitter too, though it looks a little fragile that close to the inner diameter. Great look all around. I can't wait to see it finished.

Very nice - thumbs up on the shroud work. A talent that still elludes me.

Thanks. This shroud has been a real challenge. I've been sanding and filing it for about 4 hours today slowly cleaning all the edges up. I'm trying to get make it look like it was machined rather than done by hand. It's definitely getting there. And yes....I cut this all with dremel! A lot of patience and a solid plan before hand go a long way.

Actually there's still close to .095" of material left on the emitter at the low point of my groove. Trust me this was very carefully calculated to make sure I still had enought left to maintaing the integrity of the part. It's still very strong and solid.

More to come soon!!!
