Just keep in mind, Beany, that Master Jay-gon could make a stunning saber using only the tube from a roll of paper towels, a stick of chewing gum, and a broken string of Christmas lights.
There's always a bigger fish.

Lol, i have seen some of his brass sabers and they are pretty awesome

"Awesome" doesn't cover it. I strongly suggest you track down and read his step-by-step builds (both here and on fx-sabers.com, where his handle is "Qui-Gon Jinn"). Probably half of what I know about saber-building came from reading those threads. Most of the masters just show us the final product and maybe a few photos taken during the build, but Jay-gon takes us through it step-by-step. Extremely educational.

I think I may go the harder route and use a sink tube. I have slaved in the MHS builder for hours (slight exaggeration) attempting to recreate my design, using MHS parts, but to no avail
A sink tube provides the shape I need. And I would rather have the accuracy of the sink tube than the simplicity of the MHS parts.
Here is a concept I quickly created: http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv17/Beany_/ls.jpg
-The red section is a fake switch, for display purposes, which is accompanied by an actual switch.
-I have decided to adopt a simpler shroud like suggested

that clip you put there wont work you will need either a covertec clip or a d ring, the thing you have there is the place to hange the saber from.

Sairon you are the undisputed master of everything. I may modify your suggestion slightly but that is fantastic thanks. I bow to your excellence and to everyone else that has helped me so far.

Would you mind just checking my order. I ordered 2 sink-tubes, in case of a mistake. Also no tapping kits are in stock but my school has them anyways.
