my newest
the coolest thing on this one is the custom blade holder, the rest is pretty stock standard stuff. it's got a hasbro board as a driver so I could take advantage of the momentary switch. the pommel is covered with a tennis racket grip cover (the little rubber piece that holds the rear of the grip down)

i like it! cool engravings on the side, it has an old, weathered vibe to it.

Thanks! I think I still want to find better grip material, but it feels nice. I opted to forgo the blade retention screw since this blade holder may be too weak for combat, so this one is pretty much a light up belt hanger...it does have sound too, but I chose not to put in sound holes to muffle the hasbro board a bit.

pritty cool, I would leave it as it is.

I've used that Magic Tape stuff as grip material. It's that rubber tape that bonds to itself when you stretch it out. Has a nice feel to it.
THAT'S what it's called, i was looking for that stuff and had no luck at all thanks ^^. this saber really isn't very unique tho, it's just a copy of one of Novastar's, the one on Erv's site on the front page.... I saw it and thought "man that thing is cool" so i went for this, I added a few things since I'm a big fan of weathered hilts, but it's pretty much the mhs version of it....it also helped that I had most of the parts sitting around already, so....Originally Posted by Obi-Dar Ke-Gnomie
that's pretty much it, I copied a good design. the hard part was hearing the hasbro sound, it was like an insult....hence the lack of sound holes....

As far as copying designs goes, I just copied Jay-Gon's design and made four PVC kiddie sabers. I don't think people mind if you use their designs, as long as you give credit where it's due and don't pass it off as your own.
On one of these kiddie sabers, I used the Magic Tape. I'll post a picture later tonight. I really like the way it looks.
Here's that picture of the Magic Wrap tape.
I love how the tennis wrap feels, it's so comfortable. looks great love the etching, swan, how does the holder stand up to dueling or is this just a show saber.
