A Thrift Store that organizes? I don't believe it.
Looks amazing, by the way.

Fantastic work,
This saber is looking like a prop to be proud of. I'm amazed at how....crappy?.... the close ups of the Ranch saber look....
As prop makers, we always seem to get it in our heads that stuff should be perfect, and they just aren't!
Is the Ranch saber the only ESB saber with the screws at the top of the grips?

Thanks guys!
Actually we know as of this month or so that there were screws on the grips as early as late ESB filming.
The kobold was flipped before ROTJ as well!

I believe the conclusion was the top-grip screws started somewhere during Dagobah which was the last set of scenes to be filmed for ESB. There’s no indication or proof they were there any earlier than that (ie, the rest of the movie).
So, unless you’re making a specific ESB-dagobah variant or are going for the SRS saber, I’d leave the top-grip screws out for now.

Thanks, that's kind of what i thought. I'll stick with screws only at the bottom.

Still wondering how you could drill the clamp-lever...tried various drill bits and none worked on this metal
What are the originals made of? I used a Romans empire lever and used a metric standard bit and a countersinking bit

These are new drill bits you used? Or old?
