Hello, everyone. I've begun my journey into saberhood by building my own MHS hilt, rather than opting for a pre-made one. I finally have the parts for a complete hilt. I got an emitter and three extension pieces second hand from a seller on Facebook and recently just purchased a pommel, a choke, and the NBv3 board (while it was still in stock) from the TCSS store itself. The result made it a little longer than I was expecting, but it's rather growing on me and looks like a quite formidable light side weapon. I'm not finished yet. I'm throwing around the idea of getting a brass sink tube for a covering with some kind of carved design, grips, and some other things. This is the first time I've done anything like this and I'm excited to get started once extra funds show up again. I've been watching the MHS YouTube tutorials and will be following them closely as well as the vast vault of information this forum holds, to which I thank you all tremendously for. I remember getting into lightsabers 15 years ago and the scene wasn't near as interesting or professional as it is now. The most I could find were blueprints for yourself to give to a machinist to make. No shops. It's such a different world now. So much better!
Here's some photos both before and after I got the last two pieces.

And just for fun, until I get far enough to put the electronics together and get a blade, I did a photoshop imagining what it would look like. Truth be told I haven't decided between green or a deep blue colour.
