    Hello Saber land!

    Here's the design...


    After the MHS parts were received the first step was to shine them up. Here's a comparative shot. The pieces on the left are stock MHS parts. The pieces on the right were sanded with 2K grit wet sand paper and then polished with Mother's Mag.



    Next was the powder coating... the pommel, MHS insert, female adapter, and ribbed extention were all PC'd with Mirror black then "quick cooled" for extra luster. (a little trick I read about on the PCforums.)


    Quick compare...

    I'd say that about does it.

    So then it slides over to Darth Call's bench for the guts.

    He installs an Ultrasound 2.1 with a rechargeport/kill key powering a blue P4. The crystal in the chamber was supplied by our good friend, Ri-on Ozryel. It's connected to a custom built chamber created by Chewie with 2 blue accent led's. The batteries are Synergy1.2v in a custom-made 4 battery pack with speaker holder. The switch is a guarded momemntary from TCSS.

    Something new for me was creating the emitter saftey plug. I used a tee nut mounted on a 1 inch peice of polyc tubing (an idea I got from Anon ).

    Ready for the Glamour Shots?














    And don't forget the video (new video layout ... what do you think?)

    Thanks for looking!

    Simple build, and very elegantly done.
    I really need to buff up some of my hilts to that sort of shine!!!

    Very nice & clean looking saber

    I also use Mothers for my shine jobs, works very well and a $6 canister lasts For-E-Ver.
