    I saw that part, I just was wondering about the angled blade holder that he had.

    He cut the sinktube to make the angle he wanted, and recessed the blade holder in the tube far enough to give it that specific emitter look.


    There are two truths in major league soccer:
    1. Your team is either from Chicago or a suburb of Detroit.
    2. Detroit sucks.

    I think just seeing the sink tube over the blade holder cut at an angle.

    X, who are you talking to?
    Yes, I spell it sabre. I just like it that way.

    yeah thats what I thought, but it looks like he has 1.25" Sink tube LED/Blade holder with like a sleve of some sort over the tube

    No sleave. Just sink tube and blade holder.

    Jay-gon. He's he'd done quite a few sinktube sabers now.

    There's a great idea, then I could build sabers and get some sleep at the same time!

    I missed this earlier, I guess...

    Anyway, there is no other layer to the emitter end, it just looks that way as i "scored" the tube using my tubing cutter to make the parting lines. It helps create the illusion that the saber is built from parts that screw together, rather than looking like....well, like a drain pipe!

    And I just happened to have all four of the sabers of this type here at once, and thought I'd take a few pics of them together:
