Title: My first build Post by: The_Night on March 04, 2011, 03:00:40 AM So today i finished up my first ever build. I did a tonfa style saber based off actual tonfa so that it could be used properly. Usually the tonfa style sabers i see are based off Maris Brood so they're overly long and you can't really use them the way i've been taught to use tonfa. I used a p4 green and standard switch from TCSS. The hilt itself is a 1 1/4 inch pvc T connector with 1 inch pvc holding the LED in the T section and coming up for the handle. the blade was an Ultra edge Initiate i cut down and an going to use the other half for a matching pair once the money comes up.

It looks more like an authentic tonfa. I never was big fan of the tonfa but I know it requires a lot of skill to use so I respect that!
Good job! ;D Title: Re: My first build Post by: vash1128 on March 04, 2011, 03:31:34 AM This looks awesome! The tonfa never really appealed to me as a weapon until I saw this pic. It seems like you could do a lot of stabby stabby with that!
Didn't ultrasabers offer a tonfa style at one point? Title: Re: My first build Post by: Manroon on March 04, 2011, 07:15:37 AM Nice work! That's actually pretty unique, I've never seen another saber hilt that small! Looks like you could wreak some havoc with that in a duel.

and if anyone else is thinking about doing a tonfa, one piece of advice, using a momentary switch if you're putting the switch on the handle so it doesn't flash off when you spin it |
