Thread: Building 2 sabers

    Post Building 2 sabers

    Hi, people!

    Here is my 2 sabers design, (stunt) static sabers, no sound and no light... And a couple of questions

    The red dots are the places I think the best location for the blade retention holes... Would you change it or is it OK?. And related to that, I wonder which retention screws should I choose. I want something discreet for fan filming, so is this a good choice?:

    And for quick release, this one:

    That's my biggest concern about it, I'll order some extras like:
    - Powder coating.
    - Buttons, 2x Machine recessed 12mm AV switch hole. I want a discreet button just to fake the movement in screen, or in a close shot.
    - Inserts and clips to both pommels.
    - A good set of 3/4 inch blade trans white and adapters, cut to 36 inches. If not suitable for dueling, we'll try carbon fiber ones.
    - Safety plugs.

    Am I forgetting something? Thank you very much for your patience and time.

    On the bottom saber, you could move the retention screw into the ribbed section forward of where you've got it marked; centered on the middle rib. That might be more discrete, and would still give you a lot of metal for the screw to tap into.

    Awesome. In fact, the closer to the emitter, the more powerful grip. I'll take your advice, thank you!

    Just an FYI, typically what is referred to as a "stunt" saber has light but no sound. A saber without light or sound is frequently called a "static" saber or an "empty" hilt.

    Your designs look very cool, though.

    Noted and corrected

    Thanks a lot! Wait to see them painted and real, I think the final look will be awesome. The 1st one is one kinda approach to a more handy Lukes ROTJ, and the other one will be all black with a little touch of colour, more Jedi spy style, or Sith, if you want.
