Hi all, it's been a long time but now I'm planning on making two more sabers - a regular and a short - as part of my Revan outfit. I want to give them both what I think is called a "Katana Wrap" of leather around the hilts. If I do this to a 1 1/2" tube the hilt will become too fat to handle properly. So, I want to use 1 1/4" tubes. My question here is this: are the MHS blade holders, MPS pommels and extension pieces compatible with the 1 1/4" tube? I want them to be LED sabers btw. The short one will have blade holder 4, the long saber will have blade holder 7. I haven't decided on the pommels yet.
I will purchase all the necessary electronics later when I've got my head round it all. Electronics baffle me. I need an Electronics for Idiots book. I will want a bronze LED (Heart of the Guardian crystal from KOTOR) in one and a Cyan LED (Mantle of the Force crystal) in the other plus a sound board and a rechargeable battery pack so I don't have to pull the sabers apart to replace dead batteries. Any help here would be appreciated - wiring and the number of AAA batteries to use etc. I also want a sliding switch mounted inside the hilt so it does not protrude. Ideas?
Thanks for all your help.
