Blade emitter question

[Tenric Starkindler]

Just some idle thinking here, but......

will it be possible to tap the opening of one emitter and then screw another onto it?
I can think of a few very nice combinations of the emitters coming....

Reality often interferes with what would otherwise be an idyllic delusion.

Maybe that can be custom work. I see what you are getting at. You probably want the open ones to go under another one. I'd just be leary of that because you'd need a long blade and if you like 36" LED blades that'd be a full lighted 40"er which aren't quite as good.

are the 40" ones dimmer due to length?
I thought the reflector did a good job of "filling" out the blade.

You are right about the cutout ones....sure would make a 'purty' saber.

Yeah, they are dimmer due to length. The reflector certainly helps but that's a lot of unlit space. I definatly get what you're going for though.

I have a question that I hope one of y'all can help me with. On an Obi Wan Emitter (# where would you recommend that I place the thumbscrew? That precious hunk of metal is too nice to not do the job right. I appreciate your assistance, thanks in advance.

With that i would drill and tap the neck and then use a set screw....u just have to keep an allen wernch handy to remove the blade...but that will take away the unsightly thumbscrew on the obi/luke emitters....

This would depend on how often you remove the blade. The hex bolt is a good idea if you don't remove it frequently. I personally don't want to carry around a tool, so opt for the thumbscrew. At conventions, I tend to want to either put it on fast or take it off fast. On my Luke, I asked Tim to put it on the bottom of the main part of the emitter, near the end. I wanted it on the opposite side that the switch is on.

Flush fit set screw, keep the wrench in the hilt with a velcro strap.

Way to nice of an emitter to use a thumbscrew.

James;

Do you have any idea what would happen if that wrench got loose and started bouncing around inside a hilt? *Shudders* I spar way too much to take a chance on that happening. Yes, thumbscrews are ugly, but sometimes neccessary. Also I don't want to take my pommel off just to get a wrench to remove the blade. I want to do it fast. Turn the thumbscrew and remove the blade and I'm done. It's just a personal preference....no offense.

what would happen if the wrench got loose? all i can see happening is some clinking sounds in the hilt. just an observation.
