I found a place online that sells already polished brass sink drain pipes, and decided to do a couple new brass sabers using these along with some modified MHS parts. Here's what I'm starting with:
This is Brass Saber #2. (Brass saber #1 can be seen under my topic, "Jay-gonn Jinn's BRass/MHS saber") It will feature some of the design elements from my custom saber, like a full "sleeve" or "overlay" with a cut-out for the grips. It will be running a green K2 directly from an MR Anakin Skywalker ROTS soundboard, 4-AA battery pack with optional in-hilt rechargeablilty built-in, MHS blade holder style 5 with a style 3 MPS, a ribbed extension, and a machined aluminum CT knob. This will also use a Parks laser-cut control box/clamp piece as well. All of the MHS parts for this one had to be further machined to fit inside the drain pipe. THese are a slightly heavier guage than standard chrome pipes, so Tim Machined the O.D. down to 1.42", and they fit perfectly.
I'm not crazy about the finish on the Parks clamp, so I'll have to see if I can polish it up with the buffing wheel.
Brass Saber #3 is going to be built from these parts:
This will use MHS style 1 blade holder, a ribbed extension, MPS pommel style 1, parks "R" style control box, an MR Anakin ROTS soundboard, 4-AA battery pack with optional in-hilt rechargeability, A green K2 and a machined aluminum CT knob. Just to get an idea of the size of this "R" control box, here it is next to a standard MHS heatsink:
