Applause.   Cool   I'm sure not going to be sneaking up on you LR.  Really like what you have done to both of your sabers.  Am concerned about your use of a solid or non-vented stunt pommel with sound.  Not a good idea as it could actually damage the speaker and the heat that cannot be dissipated easily from inside the hilt also could cause problems.   

pt to you.   Cheesy

Nice review Rapine. I liked that pike you made there, looks cool. And that sentinel looks great, it seems  more of a dark side customization, and with the blue light it doesn't match a lot...lol..., you did a good job on the hilt. Let see if I put some O-Rings on my sentinel so it doesn't look so plain... points for you...may the force be with you...

Thanks guys. Smiley

I put the solid pommel on the bottom of the pike, and added grit tape to it.  I have a vented coupler before the first yari extension. Smiley

The pommel you saw on it was MM's, had a hole in the bottom, and was borrowed for video purposes...lol

I've ordered some colour disks - gonna throw a red on the GB, and see if I get purple.  Meh - worth a try.

Its not worth it, trust me.  I've tried to turn my  GB grab bag purple and it's so dim it's laughable.  Red almost completely darks the saber out.  I think pink and orange made it kinda purple but I forget.  Either way it's pretty terrible.

Ahh well - already ordered.  $2.00 - maybe a pink or orange...

It'll get a purple color but it will barely light up.  I did a video in the dark with it and it still didn't show up well enough to upload.
