Here is a little project that I have been twiddling on for a little while now. I just got it back from my powder coater, the finish is called "Jolly-pop copper-orange" This is a hilt I designed strictly for Makashi one handed styles and also Tai-chi Yang saber style. I have the electronics in hand, it will run off of one 14650 li-ion w/recharge port, I'm thinking the font Korriban , which mimics Count-Dooku's saber . I chose a Lux 3 bin 4 Amber which will be set for 1400ma with resistor (not much space in this hilt, it's little  ) , 20 mm high performance speaker and possibly a pommel accent led. nothing in this hilt is standard, I carved it all from billet except for the foil. Enjoy   |

The hilt looks spectacular - definitely unique - and the amber LED was/will be a superb choice. Looking forward to seeing it completed, here's a point.

Thanks guys! I'm working on a more streamlined version of this, I have a source for the Epee's and didnt realized theyre are a dozen different sizes with choices in both left and right hand...might make a couple few of these hard to say, my pipeline is getting filled quick with custom work. |

Holy smokes that is gorgeous! Your light katanas and now light foils are crazy.  Point @ Kham Also I believe the blade color is amber. He stated so in the first post, but it could have been switch out for something else. |

Its a weird orangy yellow color(the led is discontinued I would think to it not quite being yellow enough), which seems toxically Sith ( I have a Palpatine quote for the boot sound and Korriban for the font which mimics Dooku's saber) it also has a nice blade shimmer as well, I'll post a vid soon, here is a pic with me holding it for scale  |

You are definitely the most inventive person I know of when it comes to building sabers
First the Katanas, then the protosaber, now THIS!
Hats off to my fellow Michigander!
