Hi chasm,
If you don't mind me asking, what did you use for the brass activation buttons? And how did you attach them to the momentary switches? Thank you.
5/16 brass rod turned down on the lathe. The part that sticks out of the hilt is 0.2" OD and the step that prevents them from slipping out of the hilt is 0.25" OD. The hole in the hilt is 0.201". They are not attached to the switches at all, they just sit on top of them.
Hope that helps!
I'm impressed by your ability to keep it simple.. every time I say "i'm just going to make this quick" it's 6 months later and not done.
I enjoy the posts you have here and on FB, really nice work.
Keep in mind that alot of the complex stuff we do, we do either for ourselves or to show other people in our community, and move it forward.
A "simple" build to our eyes, is pure magic to those kids. It's giving them the same feelings we had and still have. The gee-whiz of imagination and possibilities.
Heck, your builds inspire me. Think of those faces when they turn them on for the first time.
So I applaud your simple sabers, for many reasons... they look great!
