I believe you can do that with a pipe cutter. I think I saw it on a hardware Mara hilt.

I don't own one big enough for sinktubes but it might be worth a try. I'm guessing you'd reverse the blade or just take it only for a single turn or so.

humm intresting. Thanks X

I was actually thinking about trying that, Ryma! I think x-wing is right, just one turn around the tube should do it. The only thing is, the tubing cutter that big is 20 bucks. I'd have to build a few more tube-sabers to make it worth it....I'm not sure what else I'd use it for. Maybe actually working on plumbing....

I love it, its sweet!

Okay, I finally ordered some more parts for this thing, and got them installed. I ordered a 1" blade with a double wrap of Corbin's film, and a set of grips.

I only had room to evenly space four of the grips because of the covertec whell, but I think the grips finish it off well.

The 1" blade was too top heavy for the lightweight hilt, so I removed the film and re-installed it into one of my 3/4" thin-walled blades.

These were taken with package-fresh Energizer e2 lithium batteries.

that is bright man!

i love it with a 3/4 inch blade

Personally, I like how the blade adapter lights up, it's a really cool effect even without the blade installed. I also forgot that I was going to add some score lines with a pipe cutter on either end of the grips. I was too excited to see it with the grips on, I guess!
