Kali Vidhvansaka's Light Saber
So I've gotten into this build the last few days as it took a bit to get all the parts togeher. The first image is the evolution of the design as Kali kept seeing different things she liked and took a bit to settle down on.
She'd finally settled on the last design and I'd widened the Tail End Shroud. The copper will be baked on Hammered Copper from Rust-Oleum and I'll use upholstery grade vinyl for the green leather.
The process of getting up to where the shroud work is today.
These weren't too bad to cut out. Most of the roughing was with a Shoe Maker's file then cleaned up with a 1/2 round Mill bastard and Finishing files, and finally sanded with 400 and 1000 grit sandpapers.
This was fun as I'd broken 2 fine and one coarse Jewler's Saw blades, cut a channel with a Tugsten Carbide router in my Dremel, drilled a batch of holes and then broke two drill bits cutting between the holes. The smoothing procees went back to the router bit. As you can see, I've got the back part cleaned up and finished so today goes to cleaning up the front.
And here's a color study of the copper, green vinyl, and aluminum.
