Got 3 new photos for the Force Pike progress

Sadly when drilling the hole through the wood emitter piece it cracked and we have to start over on that

Handle painting progress

And the pole has been painted one single color of silver, no more off color ding marks and black scratches.

This is coming along nice and quick, so excited to get it fully finished

Did a test fit for the emitter pieces, so far so good, the new wood piece didn't crack this time around which is great to see.

Thanks :)

Also I have a question regarding the type of fabric to be used for my outer robe, my local Fabricland is have a sale on micro velvet later this month, I'm curious if micro velvet is an ok material to use for my costume.

Thanks
