Thread: Dooku-ish curve part...

  1. #1

    Default Dooku-ish curve part...

    Hay guyz liek how do U bild a sab0rz!!oneone
    ...Just kidding. []

    Ok, I know I've asked this question before, and I've done a search on this forum and FDN, but I can't find the thread I asked in... so here goes.

    For those of you who're familiar with Nynthu's wicked sith saber ( http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/sa...p?TOPIC_ID=703 about a quarter of the way down), I'd like to know what exactly that 45 degree curved section is called and where the heck I can find it.

    I know in the saber pics thread he mentioned it was a 45 degree short joint section found in the hardware store, but I've looked for that, to no avail. Someone else later mentioned to me it was called an S... something or other... argh...

    I've seen something similar to it in Home Depot, but the darn thing is a very long S section. Is that how it comes, and you just have to cut it down? I was under the impression that it came as shown on Nynthu's saber, complete with the two chrome nuts on the side, but I could be mistaken.

    Sorry for the novella here, but can anyone clue me in? And if someone can even give me a part number, I'll name my first born after you! []

    lol...

    I have heard those names too. S-curve and 45 degree joint... never really looked for them but I bet there out there somewhere. Any other names or locations people to look for them?

    Try looking in Lowes with the sink tube pipes, I recall seeing them there.

    @james3: You rock!

    @Do-Clo: Do you remember if they were short (like in Nynthu's pics), or long so they'd have to be cut down to size?

    They were the short type like you are looking for. If the Lowes near me has them then the Lowes near you should have them also after all we are talking only 30 minutes drive time between us.

    So you're actually going to call your firstborn James3? Since he gave you two serial codes, I guess it should be your secondborn, too. Or maybe call him/her James4.

    James4 would be the little fella standing there looking like he has to go. I'll be happy with a pic of the finished product[8D]
