This is just a simple mod, but I think it looks really cool. The wire stand out well against the black hilt, and compliments the orange blade nicely. Tell me what you guys think: The front of the saber: ![](http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy100/Creature_of_Antioch/Lightsabers/IMG_1243.jpg?t=1297536412) Detail of the anchor point: ![](http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy100/Creature_of_Antioch/Lightsabers/IMG_1244.jpg?t=1297536515) The back of the saber: ![](http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy100/Creature_of_Antioch/Lightsabers/IMG_1247.jpg?t=1297536515) And finally, the saber lit up. Sorry the pic is blurred. ![](http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy100/Creature_of_Antioch/Lightsabers/IMG_1249.jpg?t=1297536412)

Thank you. I'm thinking about adding an expanded section of wire near the emitter, kinda "floating" around it without actually touching the hilt, but that's gonna take some practice.

That would look pretty nice. But like you said, will definitely take practice

Very nice touch. Kind of reminds me of a earth-like type of design. Well, with the vine looking metal going across the hilt. Not sure if you were going for that, but either way, nice job. How does it handle? I would worry about moving around the wire too much. But then again, if you tie it tight enough I guess it wouldnt be too bad.

Kudo's for originality! Is it just the bend in the metal holding it in place, or did you attach it somehow? By the look of it, there is no epoxy or anything. Nice effect!

Look I'll admit, I'm not really digging it. But that's just me. What I do like is that you took your saber and made it your own. You added your own personal touch to it and said "hey, this is my saber and theres not another one like it". Even if I'm not a huge fan of the look I have to say very cool work. ![Smiley](http://saberforum.com/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Do you find the wire digging into your hand when battling?

Well, note that I said "Tell me what you think" and not "Like this or die". Glad you appreciate the work, even if you don't like the design.
Debatable. My brother says it digs into his hands a bit, making feel uncomfortable. I, however, like the added grip it gives me. It doesn't stand out from the hilt any more than on O-ring would, except for around the emitter of course.

That is sweet! Some blue or purple coated/anodized wire would have a SWEET lighning effect too - like your hilt was just coursing with force lightning. Definitely a cool, asymmetric look though.

Yeah, I considered using some slightly blue-tinted silver wire. However, I figured that short of using EL wire or Fiberoptics, it'd never really look like force lightning, so I went with copper to match the orange blade. And who says I can't have yellow lightning...

I like the way the black and gold looks together. the wire around the emitter looks like a cool idea.
