Title: QUI-GON JINN'S Chrome Saber 21 (CS-21) Video Build Log!!!
Post by: QUI-GON JINN on November 20, 2009, 11:24:27 PM
This saber will be fairly straight forward....nothing too fancy:

This one will feature an MR FX Jedi soundboard,  either a green P4 or bin 4 green Luxeon III led,  5 deg optics,  a green illuminated A/V switch,  an optional recharge port (not pictured),  a custom chrome pommel insert (seen as the bathtub strainer ;)),  a premium 1 watt,  8 ohm speaker,  a TCSS speaker mount v2,  a silver machined CT belt clip wheel,  and will be constructed using MHS parts and a 12" chrome sink tube (not pictured).  Blade type will be a standard Dual-Core Diffusion 36" thin-walled polycarbonate with a rounded tip.

EDIT:
I may also shoot a series of videos during this saber's construction.  ;)

Another saber from the master.  This is very simple, very clean.  I like it very much, reminds me of a cross between Palpatine's and Obi-Wan's sabers.

You should film it in a setting like a hut on Tatooine.... ;)

In all seriousness though, it would be really great to see one of your build threads in action. I will watch with eagerness for sure.

Master Qui-Gon, YAY!!! Thank you for more awesomeness!  More sabery goodness, AND a video of it's production?! Christmas, Winter Solstice, Chanakaa (forgive the spelling) and Kwanzaa all came before Thanksgiving this year!!!

Today really is a banner day!

I hope this is the start of another grand tradition, Qui-Gon.  You constantly amaze me with your generosity.

I can't wait to see the videos, should you decide to do them. I want to see how you cut your pommel inserts down. ;) 8)

Not sure yet....I actually was thinking of making this one fairly simple,  so it could be auctioned off before Christmas this year.  more videos are uploading,  but they need time to process on Youtube.

Hehe, I know you! You don't do ANYTHING simple! But whatever the outcome I am sure it's going to be one really sweet build like all the others you have done...and will make a great Christmas present for someone....I look forward to this video build log very much.

I see nothing harsh there,  Frodo.  I usually try to make them one step better than their predecessors,  so caine is right to wonder what I'll be doing that will be different with this one.

Umm, as he does them.

Master Qui-Gon is doing everyone a service on doing these videos...so like the rest of us it's appropriate for us to all be patient as we anxiously await these vids. Also, please understand that he has a full time job and a family on top of saber building...so time may be limited.

I really appreciate the time you are taking to do these vids, Jay...you are continuing to do a great service by allowing us to see your work in action.

I actually video taped myself making a mistake Saturday....I'm not sure I want to post it or not...but you know me,  I probably will,  as what not to do.  See if you can spot it in Part 16,  but for now,  here's part 15:

Yep,  caught it in time to prevent ruining the whole thing.....most of my mistakes end up becoming "design elements,"  such as the sanded grips i'll be doing on it next.  ;)  (They help to hide it when the tubing cutter doesn't line up the ends of the lines very well)

Here's a quick peek at the hilt where it stood after the latest round of videos:

I wouldn't worry about hurting your sales...  I won't be able to do the job as well as this...  LOL

The other thing about sales is, people could just get everything from TCSS and do it themselves.  But everyone loves your hilts and some people find it easier to just purchase a completed hilt.  A friend of mine owns CS-10 and with that quality I think people are going to buy your hilts as long as you make them.

If you say so....;)  My intent with these isn't really to show you how easy it is (even though it is fairly easy),  but really to show how much work actually goes into making a simple,  FX-powered MHS based saber.

and with that,  here's a couple more videos!

No way, dude. Just because everyone sees how it's done doesn't mean that they will always want to do it themselves. A lot of people on here prefer to just pay someone else to do them this service anyway. It's all good in the Jedi hood.  ;D

Fixed your post for you,  Caine!

Here's two more parts of the video build log.  Man,  this thing would be done by now if i were just building it instead recording the process as I go!   ;D

About all that is left to do is put batteries in it to test it out before final assembly can begin!  Oh, and I need to solder up the led for it,  too.  I'll also have to drill and tap for the 10-32 blade set screw,  as well.

There were quite a few things I never really thought about concerning the building of any saber, such as honing, but your videos were definitely helpful.  The work payed off.

Holy Topic Resurrections,  Batman!   ;D

This saber was recently commissioned for a rebuild by forum member DarthRaevus,  and I just fini8shed it yesterday.  The new look was inspired by my own CS-X's new look,  and I think it suits this saber nicely.  

The new specs:
