Yes the claws and control box did throw some weight on it (with the battery and electronics the balance point sits in the center without a blade) Also I milled out a big section of the center of each claw to inset into the bronze piece so they wouldnt stick out from the hilt as far, and make a stronger soldered joint which holds them on. I also made 2 holes that I later decided against on the bronze section..I used an inset tool and installed 2- 6mm glass tiger-eye stones with clear acrylic, they will blade match when the saber is running. I'm seriously considering gloss black powder coat with a couple of silver bands left for accent. Thanks Guys! |

You just keep spitting out these beautiful originals and reworks. It hurts my insides, in that warm fuzzy way.

Thanks!, This is one of eight that are in various stages of completion (2 of the 8 are mine) the rest are other Smith's hilts that are here for upgrades, customization and electronic installs (yes the plate is full for a couple of months!)  |
