Holy cow, I'm one part away from having an all real parts Obi Wan Kenobi Lightsaber complete. I've been after a real balance pipe forever.

Oh yes! I’m so happy to see you get a pipe. You need to put the bevel on the back. That inconel metal is so hard, it took me a bit of work and courage to do mine. Score, congratulations!

That's awesome! Congrats! I have a converted male on my Obi. Probably the best I'll be able to do, so I'm happy with it. If Dave P has any left, his adapter works great!

This is such an amazing example man. Huge congrats, they’re only getting scarcer and scarcer. Ive got a male 16 hole balance pipe from Lewis on its way to me at the moment, so I’ll need to get somebody to convert that - probably the best I’ll get the way things are going! I have a question also. My hales is in lovely shape, but is covered in the light brown / red paint. Do you have any advice for stripping the paint and re - spraying ? Or re - blue-ing? I would love to know how you do it 😊 Huge congratulations again. So so happy, and very jealous of you.

Awesome, yeah I almost went for an uncut one too. Pretty much whatever you do is going to remove the blueing/patina on the part that has the paint. I've used a couple methods, I tend to prefer using a wire wheel with a Dremel, but it's kind of messy. Chemicals work well but you have to make sure to neutralize them, and again they are messy. Applying the blueing is easy, make sure it's very clean, I would heat the metal slightly, apply the blueing, rub with steel wool and repeat until it matches in darkness. Hope that helps.

@@dustinwalruff Now that you have a reference in the female pipe, I might just have to commission you to convert a male somewhere down the line 😉

@@ZaratDCV you should get Scottjua to do it, he’s got the proper tooling, my lathe is actually too small to do it.

@@dustinwalruff I will do just that then. Maybe all us converted BP owners should have some form of inscription on the inner bp to protect buyers, seeing this way might be the only way sooner or later.. Enjoy being one stop closer to the real deal mate. Looking forward to seeing you get it done! 🤞
