Title: Archivist's Heirloom
Post by: Sawyer on November 09, 2018, 02:29:17 PM

Hello there! Haven't posted a saber in awhile- thought i would share one i made over the summer. Pardon my dust- as it *is* a little banged up from use.  :)

Was looking around at some other saber smiths and their work- and i always wanted to *attempt* to make a bone hilt. (a la Madcow style) This is about as close as i could get. It's supposed to be a Jedi archivist's weapon- so i initially wanted to do a really complex etching for it- but i didn't have the time to do that this time around- so i opted for a more simplistic approach.

The Specs:
-Tri cree, royal blue
-Nano V4
-12mm vandal momentary
-In hilt recharge
-Mixed MHS v1 and v2 parts
-22mm stealth speaker (not bad for a little guy! still not quite as good as a bass 28 though)
-Custom chassis
-Hand-cut claw piece/peg mount
-Dremel cut shroud with custom acid etching
-PVC "bone" handle, hand sanded
-Lightly weathered from my little brother attempting to turn to the dark side with it

And now, the glams:

Thanks for taking a look. Cheers!

Really loving this design. Great work on this. This flows really nicely from the tech features to the bone handle. And the Graflex touches are nice,

Your shroud-work is inspiring.  You really push the limits of what an acid-etch can accomplish.  We shall see how I fare when I try acid etching myself.
