What Tim sells makes for perfectly functional sabers. I was reffering to the rest of the hilt. A sink tube or a combination of sink tubes of different diameters, or combinations of different kinds of pipes, with all kind of hardware parts attached make for better hilts, in my opinion, than hilts that are machined from one solid piece. And those fond of these wholly machined pieces frown upon and usually show contempt for hardware hilts. Without Tim's machined parts it would be nearly impossible to make the sabers functional. I simply ask we do not disqualify the sink tube itself.

On a different note, does anyone else have an issue with Mace's hilt? It makes me think Sith, not Jedi. There is too much vanity in that hilt. Has anyone alse noticed how similar the Mace and the Sidious hilts are?
