I've made a few with my 4 year old daughter - nothing to match anything on here, just using blade offcuts and beads from a hobby shop.

Can anyone recommend a clear-drying glue, though? We've used super glue and it dries white, which makes the interior of the plugs look pretty untidy. I can try and clean it with nail polish remover, I guess.

Hot glue should be effective. Just takes a little practice and quick fingers.  This should help...Watch "Glue Gun Tips and Tricks" on YouTube

Hey, so is that emitter(/hilt) called "Redemption"? Is it possible to get one - it looks amazing!

The saber is named Redemption. The Hilt is a US Shock with parts from the "Other Guys" and a lot of electrical work inside of the hilt thanks to a friend of mine that was a sabersmith. I would tell you the part, but I'd get in trouble for mentioning another company, so I'll PM you about it instead.

Oh, excuse my ignorance Embarrassed Nah, I was wondering whether it was from US so that I can add it to my upcoming "extra parts" order when I get my paycheck. But thanks for the info, and again, very nice looking saber!

Here's my first custom blade plug.  Just finished it last night.  It was inspired by another custom plug I saw on the Internet somewhere, where the builder was making plugs that resembled jet engines.  I don't remember who it was or where I saw it, but whoever hat was definitely inspired my design.








The plug is made up of the end of a pen for the cone, the disk is from the innards of a hard drive, and the head from a razor.

The plug sits above the ring of the emitter and this is by design.  A couple of months ago one of the standard plugs got stuck in the emitter and I had to drill it out to remove it.  This fixes that issue.

Nice design. The overhang works perfect on that Graflex. Worth more than the one point I can give you.
