Title: trials of a padawan learner "Genkaku"
Post by: Genkaku Sho`shyk on February 08, 2014, 11:53:00 PM
so since the emerald setups have been out.. i wanted one, and so, i got one... i went all out too... now, im going the step further and looking to really make it my own as i retro fit the internals to fit in a very small space, as with them now, its a hassle just got get them into the hilt without worrying about crunching things... its super tights...


pics to follow


ok this is the first part, dont worry, the modular build there is just a per-fabrications, im still working on, more detailed pics coming

here is just the modular ... its not set into the package yet, just a pre fit to get the main structure

this is driving me mad getting this modular to work just right.. vinyl is far harder to manipulate then i had thought... but an exact-o knife worked out well... some more pics to come this evening

this was really annoying to learn and figure out, but a padawan never gives in to anger, and patience is key to all things that tone wishes to succeed in...

at this point, i came to a halt as i was finally finished with the frame work... i went in to fit it, and it was REALLY tight.. so i got it out and carefully grinned off a good amount on the speaker area.. witch was where it got tight when i test fit it.... thus, now i am ready to upload a short video.... and here are some more pics........


Ladies and gentlemen, forumites alike, i bring to you, "Sage of Degabah"  as my character built it while instructed by master yoda's force spirit on the planet degabah after being guided to the degabah by the force, and meditating for several years, in solace meditation.. master yoda answered with a task... "this lightsaber, you will build... harmony in the force, you hall bring..."

Post by: Genkaku Sho`shyk on February 12, 2014, 08:32:17 PM
thanks guys, this build has been a most enjoyed experience for myself, i think ill use the threaded rods later as small as i can get them, the coat hanger wire works very well but it is a bit hard to get the good rough spots for the solder to make a foundation or hold... took me a few tried to get the process down, but its done, and im able to undo the switch then i can pull the whole thing out... love this saber.. cant wait to get the lather straps braided on...
