"Thresh" was sketched and built over the course of three days. It is my first saber to feature acid engraving, and is a hybrid of MHS and scratchbuilt body parts. The saber's design combines elements from The Old Republic and the Prequel era.

I begin with machining a central "bolt" out of two sections of aluminum. Pictured here is a one piece tube which slides over a solid aluminum bar. The tube comprises outer details, while the inner bar gives the assembly strength. The Sharpie marks denote approximate groove locations for external detail.
