First Saber project - "Equinox"
So I have finally decided on a concept for my first saber since joining the forums. See the attached image below. I haven't decided for sure if I will do metal or PVC. I'll figure that out as soon as I determine budget. Just wanted to share my ideas. Enjoy!

I like this concept. It would be sweet making it all out of aluminium but PVC might be easier for you. Even as a machinist some of that would be tricky...
If those colored slots are blade windows, you're not leaving much room for electronics.

Nice. They look like some sort of grip strips idea to me though

Actually, the intention was for the colored slots to be crystal chamber windows. Miraluka, I get what you are saying about the electronics fitting. I'll take a closer look at things as I make progress on the design. If need be I'll revise the saber's aesthetics to accommodate how things fit inside. And of course I'll post any updates I make. Thanks for the comments.
Yeah, I like short hilts but they can be a pain depending on what you're trying to put in there. Sometimes compromises need to happen, unfortunately.

Tis true. The hilt as currently shown measures just over 12" long and about 1.6" in diameter. Again I'm still working with the numbers as I look at options and determine what I ultimately will use to construct the saber.
