Saber sheaths?

[Terek Kelrune, the Jedi Ranger]

Lookin' great! I agree, emitter up (in this case) will work best, as that is where the switch is at - less distance for the switch cutout.

I can't wait to see it mounted on the bandoleer!

Question for ya though: did you do the shaft curve first or the bottom edge first?

[Koda Vonnor]

Oh shaft curve, definitely.

- Measured around the circumference of the aluminum tube, minus the half inch opening
- Cut the sintra to size
- Dipped one half of the sheet in boiling water
- Quick wrapped it around the tube, rolling it to shape
- Held the tube and the part of the sintra that I just curved, and dipped the other half in the water
- Roll-shaped the other half of the main curve
- Re-dipped the very edges and rolled/pressed them 'til perfect
- Slid the sintra down off the end of the tube about 3/4" and dipped that end
- Rolled at 45° angle to get the semi-closed end
- Sanded all the edges smooth

And yeah, it draws to reverse-grip pretty quickly, as long as I grab the bando with my left hand as I draw.
