Sentient - a Light Side PRIZM saber

Beautiful work, DM! If I may ask, which cutter are you using? I picked up a Silhouette Portrait a while back and, while impressive, I don't get the tiny detail I really want.

I use a Silhoutte Portrait =) I don't use the vinyl from the pack though, I use mylar instead. It can cut pretty darn small, but the vinyl is too fragile when you go to weed out your design.
The mylar holds up though, it's fantastic.

Nice work dude.

I dig it very nice work. I like the design over all. The etching is well done. I'm usually a plain Jane sort when it comes to hilts, but this one definitely has a lot of life.

Thank for sharing your etching techniques. Much appreciated. What thickness of mylar sheet do you use?

ARKM I will check the big roll at work today, I get it from there. There's a big box in front of the giant cutter with scraps, some of which are a foot or 2 long hehe.

Nice. Thanks.

I like the anti-vandal switch; a design I haven't seen yet. Well executed!

Thanks Ris Liam!
ARKM the box containing the roll says it's .007 thickness.
