As the title states, this is my first real attempt at shroud making. I have made a small shroud before that was nothing more than a sleeve cut at a 45 degree angle and mounted over the blade holder. This time I tried my hand at making a real, full length shroud.
I used the tips from this thread...

...and the result speaks for itself.
I am terrible at remembering to take picture during my projects. I get too caught up in the moment to pause. But you can get the idea what I did. I made a template on graph paper, glued it to the sleeve, then cut it with the Dremel. I then fine tuned it with files and emory cloth.
This shroud and build is obviously Qui Gon inspired with a bit of my own. I plan to paint the shroud black so the saber will have the opposite color scheme of Qui Gon's. I joking call this saber The Reverse Qui Gon, which actually sounds dirty
This project, like most of mine projects, is not ground breaking or pioneering new things in the field of saber-smithing. But I like to show off these pictures as proof that the information on this forum and the tutorials actually work. This is a testimony to the information on the forum contributed by the great saber-smiths who came before me.
Enjoy the pictures and thank you to all who helped inspire me with guidance and tutorials.
