future sinktube saber

[37H4N]

So I've had a sinktube laying around for awhile now, and have yet to do something with it. So the other night I came up with a design and I think I'll stick with it.

Heres what I'm thinking,

With blades,

I'll be using a MHS style 7 blade holder with the MHS to sinktube adapter, latching on/off switch, set of T-Grips sold here, and style 3 MPS pommel.
As for the guts, I'm gonna use the Amber electronics kit, 5 degree lens, and I'm thinking about using a hasbro sound card.

So just a project that I hope to start and finish someday. Just wanted to share and see what everyone thinks.

Good looking design

What's the length?

[37H4N]

I'm not sure. I know that the grips are gonna be around four inches long. And maybe about five inches above that up to the emitter. So I guess around 11, 11 1/2?

Very nice saber. I want to make it in Sketchup

But I will resist the urge if you don't want me too. It's just a cool design

Simple, very functional, yet elegant. I find simple things to be very beautiful. If it's done right of course. But I do love complex designs too.

Anyway, cool saber Would love to see it made.

In sketchup or RL? :P

Glad everyone likes it.

I just used the MHS peices a guy here made for a possible new MHS builder.(can't remember the guy's name, sorry.) And Then I just added and modded stuff in MS paint. Nothin' fancy.

A good solid design that could be made with a minimum of parts and still look classic without being too sparse. Personally I would put the switch closer to the emitter so it won't be in the way when using the saber, but many people seem to like the center mounted switch so who am I to judge

[37H4N]

Well the reason it's in the middle, is because my hands are almost always at the top of the saber, so putting it there, for me would be in the way.
But glad you like it.
