What not to do when sabersmithing!

dude..........

Although I am intrested in hearing Jay-gon's idea

I too have a possible solution to save that ribbed piece Hasid.
I'm in the middle of building my next saber and it has a 10" lg ribbed section that i am machining a large cutout in one side, then i will cover it with a shroud like piece that will also act as a battery door of sorts. got the idea from Treadingwolf , (props man) he did it with a sinktube here....

just another idea

Well, it involves these:


and a little design inspiration from this:


Yes, those are already polished brass sinktubes that I found in an online plumbing store. There's only one small problem....they are 20 ga tubes and have a 1.44 i.d. making the MHS a no-go unless the parts are turned down to 1.42 o.d. If I could get that done, and I'm sure Tim could do that for an extra fee, I'll add in a few MHS parts, like the style 5 or 8 blade holder, the style 3 MPS, and I'll have brass saber similar to my custom. Hasid's ribbed grip would work for this, as the damaged side could be under the brass tube, and possibly house an aux button if I ever got ahold of a Crystal Focus board. If I go forward with the idea, I'd start a different thread of course.

Yeah but I would feel bad using this part knowing the damage that ive done to it.

Ive thought about cutting a section of it out and use them for mhs/sinktube connectors.

I think you should just save it as a worthy reminder of what not to ever do........AGAIN!

Thank you Hasid, forever more upholding the standards of what not to do.

I'm sorry it got jacked up though, but you probably saved alot of noobs here from doing worse things.

[Hasid Lafre]

yeah thats what its kinda there for. to remind me to think things thru alot more.

[thejedilestat]

i think the prob was u had more holes then needed... but then again what do i know still if u never try u never know

[Hasid Lafre]

No its that I was stupid in designing the saber in teh first place. For the recard. put your speaker in the pommel, mever attempt a mid hilt mounted speaker cause its not gonna work!
