My blade holder design

[LordJaivus]

Just wanted to see what y'all think of this. I plan to use this desgin on my next saber. The blue dots around the bottom of the rebel symbol are to be 1/8" or 1/16" (haven't decided yet) holes to allow the light of the blade to shine through.

That looks pretty cool. I will take 3 of them. lol

Will it really be that short???

[LordJaivus]

no they won't be that short, My mind is churning, trying to think of something else to add, it seems just a little to plain. Heck, it may just work better as an emitter shroud.

It's an Oompa Loompa saber. lol

It's actually a very cool idea using the Rebel symbol like that. I can't wait to see the final piece. I hope you've practiced your Dremel Fu.

dremel-fu is a must and i hope you have some small disks and bits too.... and a good idea of what you want to do and LOTS of stencils. for that application i use either waterjet-fu or lazer-fu.

[LordJaivus]

I wish I had the ability to use waterjet-fu or lazer-fu, however my dremel-fu should be sufficent enough, if not then I'll have a bunch of scrap metal lying around.

[DJMoonbass]

scrap metal-fu.... my hands are just way to shaky for dremel fu to be even a possible thought of possibily thinking about. its genetic. hell i can barely solder.... im thinkin of havin someone do my mill fu for me. becuase it would be cheaper then lazer-fu

[LordJaivus]

mount your work in a vice and do a little bit at a time. if your hands become too shaky stop for a little while. I've always managed near perfection just by working in small increments. If that dosen't work for you try a shot of whiskey, lol.

It would make an AWESOME emmiter. Amazing Dremel-fu this would require.
