Well, ..I Finally got around to building my own saber. I wanted something kinda cool, but definitely meaningful. I am a fan of brass, gold and silver so of course that was gonna be in there. Then a few weeks ago it hit me, .....take some of the good features that Master Jedye and I have done over the last few months and incorporate them in one saber. This was gonna be nice and since I'm a big guy and neeeeeeed a big saber, ....adding parts was gonna be easy.
The shroud was initially all chrome; a chrome sink tube. I sanded the whole thing down until I got to a nice pleasant brass/gold look and then started polishing it with steel wool until it was shiny, ...but still sorta brushed looking. Then I powder coated with a 120% clear coat. I cut out a few pieces out of another sink tube, the chrome piece on the emitter is a resemblance of the back plate on Ramaditya's saber, the Valkyria as well as the hand grips on the Paladin, (Jedi Knight Logan's saber). The chrome ring is also from the Paladin. The thin chrome handgrips are a resemblance from the Mark I, (Senti Xamas' saber) and the top brass shroud is taken off the Calling and is the same design from MasterKris' Dark Calling.
The US2.0 is installed with a recharge port and a new "overlord style" button. The button is finicky during setup but works nicely once past all that. I really like it's sounds, its depth and the features for the blade flicker, .....just really cool.
I had Dagobah Jedi custom make me a long Delrin speaker holder with a thicker resonance chamber, ...nice and loud!
The blade is of course none other than an UltraEdge blade.
So here are the pictures, ...hope you enjoy!!
The last picture is of the custom Delrin speaker holder from Dagobah Jedi:
