Re: Custom Saber Gutter Find!
Funny, when I first found it and saw the grill section I immediately thought - Crystal Chamber! Ha ha, so I have to do it now.
And I'm hearing you on the handle. This is kinda what it would look like...
Left as is I still think it looks too small in hand...
My biggest problem is I don't have any of my saber hilts here to compare with, so I don't know how top-heavy this would be with the grip right at the bottom.
Could someone please post a pic of say an Obiwan saber, with a tape measure or ruler beside it so I can see how long each segment is? Just for reference. Would be a great help.
Hey @tmax ! I like Strikerkc's suggestion; as I read the perforated tube as a great place for a partial Crystal Chamber Reveal rather than as a grip. After all, you don't necessarily want your hand wrapped around all that exposed engergy and heat.
What I'd do is take the bike footpeg and use 4 sections of the knurled area (you have 4 fingers to wrap around it ), along with the large unknurled area to represent your pommel, and use that as your grip. Then I'd really dirty up the patina to match the exhaust baffle. Use the bolt for a button or adjuster of some sort and maybe a real button/switch if you decide to add electronics to the hilt to make the Crystal Chamber glow. Find a bit of rod to bend into a D-Ring and fasten it through the pommel area so that you can hang it on your belt.
Ta-da! Lightsaber!
