Shroud Work

[@andybassham2369]

Not as amazed at what Rob can do as I am the quality of his videos. Very professionally done. Wish these were out there when I was a noob at this.

[@DrPsychlops]

So many handy tips that will save me time and material! Thanks!

[@NickPro]

Amazing tips! Cant wait to cut my next sleeve now.

[@TheW3s]

I really like these tutorial videos! Thanks Master Petkau. I am already planning my saber.

[@dmurda1010]

Basically just go and get piping used in chainlink fencing and cut it to desired link.

[@TheArtpimp36]

Never mind, I just figured out the issue. The aluminum sleeve was very very cold, therefore I'D tightened just enough for the blade holder would not fit. Sometimes I hate living in Michigan.

2 questions 1. How many cats have you skinned? 2. After the first, did you decide "There's another way to get this done"?

[@brettsalter3300]

Wonderful tutorial, much appreciated.

Maybe another "rule" should be "Light sabres aren't factory made. It doesn't HAVE to be perfect".

i was thinking about making the shroud thicker

[@sky-magnet]

How are fastening the shroud to the blade holder? Just a retention screw?

[@agentdunce6584]

okay so im working on a project called "kraken" and by the name you should know that it involves tentacle shroud work im thinking about making them extend about 1in or 2in past the blade holder. if i put a retention screw on the end of each tentacle would it make it more durable?

[@MadcowGenesis]

+Attack Titan That's really hard to say. It depends on the material used - thickness etc. Best thing is to experiment

[@TheArtpimp36]

I have a question. I purchased a MHSV1 blade holder and I purchased the shroud sleeve mat., to of course make a shroud, and the sleeve will not fit over the blade holder. What did I do wrong if anything?

[@MadcowGenesis]

The sleeve material fits perfectly over the standard body diameter for MHS parts. You have to use a blade holder that is that same diameter.

[@brandthull5471]

With the finish, what would your recommendation for doing acid-etched stuff?

[@agentdunce6584]

I was thinking about a medium thick aluminum

[@Da_Swifta]

Can you use a dremel tool for this? Like for the entire part? For example if I want to cut a spiral

[@MadcowGenesis]

+Da_Swifta Sure - if you take you time

[@andremarroquin4267]

I have a question, does the MHS sleeve material fit over a powder coated main body? if not, would you recomend sanding down the sleeve?

[@MadcowGenesis]

It might be a real tight fit, or not fit at all. You can sand down the inside of the sleeve material, but it will take a long time.

[@leathergothstudio1020]

this is just OK, sounds Sans Fransisco

[@aarongreve7287]

Can mhs1 parts fit together with mhs2 parts?

[@MadcowGenesis]

+Aaron Greve Not without an adapter

[@thebeybladearmory]

Whats an MHS part?

[@Shisno132]

I believe it stands for "Modular Hilt System" which just means they are compatible with other MHS items. Some prebuilt lightsabers from other places are MHS compatible. Such as some from Ultrasabers will list right on the saber info if it has MHS compatible parts. Which lets you swap out pieces as you see fit.

[@lupusdante5786]

That moment where you break off the thread tool in your almost finished hilt :-( Redesign :-) and continue.

[@Da_Swifta]

That awkward moment when you spent ages on designing a lightsaber hilt and you forget that hilt shrouds exist...
