After an 8-year hiatus from mastering these sabers, I'm about to finish off my 8th. For those interested, you can follow along as I go.
The pics are a bit bright, so I apologize in advance. The drilling is already finished (real Graflex topshell), and the hex bolts are countersunk in a sturdy nylon insert. The insert also gives a very "realistic" balance to the hilt.
I've only converted one other with the metal kit. Usually, I make my own parts for about half of it. As usual, I had to tweak some things to get them to fit together. There really is no such thing as a "ready-to-go" kit plus a Graflex. It is much more complicated than that.
This saber is being completed for Joe Garcia, another old-timer. :lol
