What about a large washer or something of the sort to complete the "handle bar" look?

Just a suggestion, I actually think it looks perfectly fine the way it is

While that certainly could work, I think I'm with you; I like it the way it is. I don't think I'll add anything more to the emitter. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I love it the way it is, the electrical tap is not bad at all, and the extra grip section is a nice cosmetic touch. Not in the book description, but it helps finish off the emitter nicely, and I think it's something Corran would have done at one point or another to help relieve the awkwardness of grabbing the barrel of a blaster cannon if he had to go high on the hilt in a duel.

Also, I have a suggestion for the name of your device. Just read and think about it for a minute. Let it roll around your ears awhile. Wink

Looks good!

Have you thought of using tightly wrapped wire around the emitter?  It might look better than that piece of flat tape, if you decide to take it off and still want to add some detail.  But I think you're right, with the other details you added you may not need anything right up by the emitter now.  Smiley

Sorry I didn't get to post until now, but it looks great!  The fact that you actually made it from a handle gives it so much more authenticity, it truly is your own version of his hilt.  That color disk system is very clever too, props!  It looks much more rugged than the rest of your collection, but considering the hilt in question I'd say that's a good thing.

Thanks again Manny Smiley Hmmm....I like it! After all, no one else (to my knowledge) has made anything quite like it. Not that I'm planning to copyright it or anything Wink still, the Pasbe Device seems appropriate! Thanks for the name!

I hadn't thought of that actually. That might make it stand out. Honestly though, I've taken off the single strip of tape and like it a lot better now. Thankfully my order shipped the other day (with the LED, disks, etc.) so in the next week or so, I should be able to wire it up!

Good to see you here lol! I really enjoyed making it my own. Like I said, it's certainly not like anyone else's versions or ideas of what it would look like, but it fits the bill for me and I love it. I'm glad you like the Pasbe Device! I'm just glad it actually worked. I'm not normally a very inventive guy. Thanks Nero!

As an update, I didn't find out until the post office was closed on Friday that my shipment came in. I picked it up today, and I plan to wire up the saber tonight!! Keep an eye out for pics Cheesy

Here are some pics everyone! Video will follow once it's uploaded to youtube. BTW, I ended up using a red, and a blue color disk to make the purple. Oh, and I also made a style of blade plug that I think fits the make-shift style of the hilt.

Awesome! SO awesome! And I got a video mention! WOOT!  Cheesy

BTW, the Pasbe Device totally doubles for a manual FoC system. lol Man, that thing is genius. It gets the effect of the blade change down perfectly!
