Question about drilling holes....

Actually, the saberbuilder has rivets so that you can plan how to rivet on shrouds. Rivets would be a bad idea for a blade holder.

I'd do what J-Lo said, and go with a set screw.

Hmm, I didn't know that.

I sort of doubt that most people have a rivet gun.

I do, but I use it for other props I build and for repairing aluminum awnings and things around the house.

I could swear I remember seeing rivets at one point that could be riveted with a hammer and some tool that came with them. Its also possible that I am entirely crazy and never actually saw those at all. But I think I did, so that counts for something, right?

The types of rivets that use a hammer to set them also need an anvil on the underside of the rivet. That's not the kind that you would use on something like this, so I think you may be mistaken.

Its very possible. I spend a lot of my time thinking "it would be cool if" and sometimes my wires get crossed.

The 'sam browne' studs used on Jedi belts can be found in the hammer and anvil rivet type [though the screw post type are much better] since that works ok with a flat piece of leather...wouldn't work on a curved hilt eh...besides in most cases it would be better to use screws than rivets to secure shrouds etc on hilts in case you ever needed to remove the shroud for maintenance repair or [more likely in this hobby] upgrading.

LOL, I have a rivet gun...and I use it on...sabers and household projects.

[Jedi-Loreen]

Heh, some how that doesn't surprise me that you have one. I sure don't know any other females that have a rivet gun.

The PVC shroud of my sink tube EL saber is riveted on.

You are the only female that I actually know who has one!

That doesnt surprise me in the slightest J-Lo
