Title: Saber wallet concept
Post by: BoridrenDurist on October 22, 2018, 02:33:06 AM
I've been thinking of ways to carry money during a con without an actual wallet on me and a thought came to me almost out of nowhere... what if I do some modifications to an empty hilt so that when I unscrew the pommel my valuables are right there. What do you guys think?

I don't see why not.  Make sure you have a blade plug in there nice and secure though. :)

Sounds like a good idea, you can use a smaller hilt like the Initiate or Apprentice, heck even the V2 sabers would work.

That's what I was thinking, Maybe a Dark ini V3 Le to match my new saber...

If you could figure out how to have a blade plug with a removable, or pop, top, you could store some bills in there and still have a saber that functions. Just a though.

I say blade plug on the emitter end and the store the bills through opening up the pommel with a D-ring or covertech wheel attached to hilt.

That is what I was thinking, but Gumby's idea is pretty cool. Maybe a hinged blade plug?

I like that idea too, Fedora.  Nice going, Gum.  I'm getting ideas to do something like this in a future con now. Points out to everyone.

I have a piece of blade left over from chopping the blade on yaddles escape saber. Maybe I’ll try to find something suitable to be a hinged lid and see how it works. There’s so much crap laying around my big shop there might be something good just lying on the floor!

I saw someone use old arcade coins as caps for blade plugs. you could do something like that.

it might not work to store the money in the plug because you would have to undo all the retention screws to get to your cash. I think an empty hilt with the money where the batteries would be is the best way to go.
