Okay,  so I drilled and tapped for the blade thumbscrew Caine wanted to use on it,  and it looks like this:


not too bad....there's just one problem....it's too short!

It won't do a thing to hold the blade in place.....so,  I traded it for one of the chrome 10-32 thumbscrews I have here:


This one does reach into the blade socket far enough to use it:


The other option would be to use a set-screw and a wrench.....I can do that too,  if needed.

Caine!
Qui-Gon is shelling out massive awesome sabers for you!
That is ... AWESOME!
Congrats, man, congrats.

That's a cool thumb screw! IMO it's better than the red one. ;) ;)

That saber is going to be sweet... well done Master Qui-Gon and hearty congrats Master Drathul! :) Personally, I think the chrome thumbscrew is way cooler than the red. Awesome work!

Yeah, I am very excited to see how this one has turned out...WAY better than the boring render I sent Qui-Gon!

I effing LOVE those grips!!! They take a simple stunt saber and take it to a whole new level!

I am looking forward to getting my hands on this bad boy and dong some kick--- dueling! (no Mods, I didn't swear... I did the "---" on my own, hehe)

Sorry for the lack of updates on this one Caine,  but as I sat down to start the wiring,  I realized I was out of AA battery packs!  So,  after ordering some, along with a few other things from my electronics supplier,  they came in today,  and I was able to finish up the wiring:


I also threw in something a little extra,  and you'll have to wait until you get it to see what I mean.  Final pics coming up soon!

Oh,  one thing....what blades are you planning to use in it?  I may have to hone the blade socket out depending on what you plan to use.

You've done it again Qui-Gon. This is why I keep coming back to you time and time again.

Bump!  for new pictures!  I may still do a video of this one,  but it won't be very long as there is no sound on it. My camer's battery needs to be recharged first,  though.
