My new Jedi shoto on a budget

[Yogie]

Hi @all

After 4 years without lightsaber building I have decided to give one of the really cheap China sabers a try.
Overall I am very happy with this buy. The ice blue colour of the blade is very bright. The 3 sound fonts are also really good.
I can choose 3 volume levels plus mute. It has flash on clash , lockup loop and several light effects :
full bright mode, mid and low brightness , breathing mode, heartbeat mode, flickering mode
Blade diameter is 22,2 mm with a length of 78 cm. The hilt length is 29 cm.
I've attached some details (O-Ring seals, picture hook and electrical tape) and did a weathering to the hilt.
The flame at the top of the hilt was done by salt-etching and the scratches with a Dremel tool.
The pommel was made using a Neoperl faucet sprayer bought from Bauhaus DIY Shop in Germany.

Cheers yogie
