Just an update and a few pictures. I wanted to get some clean up done and get rid of the brazing rod that melted to the outside of the emitter but my wife says that using power tools in my workshop (it happens to be right below our bedroom) at 1 AM isn't allowed so I'm stuck until tomorrow. Anyway, enough rambling.


Bits and pieces of the build taking over the dining room table. No real plan for most of it. Playing most of it by ear.


A picture of the pommel speaker cover. It's been cleaned up a little bit more but still needs some love.


Rough fitment of what I've achieved so far this evening.


A close up of the emitter with the blade fitted into it.


It's far from done. I still have a ton of clean up to do but I'm not allowed to this late at night. I also still have to add the cutouts that are going to show a separate layer under the main body to give it some more depth and character. I also have to drill and tap all of the holes for the set screws and the switch, and solder and install all of the electronics. At this rate I'll probably have it done by Monday or Tuesday.

Looks promising, Think building it it just as fun and rewarding as testing and using the fished saber.

Hello, this looks like an interesting project, any updates? gonna be glued to this topic
