Sloth you should hook up with wat tambor one of the finest machinist we have! And is also experienced in forum runs
I could only dream off what could be accomplished...

It could be dangerous, as the part of my brain that makes sensible decisions about money might not work......then again most things about this forum effect that part of my brain :)

Yeah, I know what you mean.   :D  This one would likely be way out of my ballpark in terms of price, but it'd be fun to watch all the same.

Got this saber up here at work today, letting people play with it, seeing where it might fail.  It's a bit scary to hand it to someone, but the best way to see if it's sturdy is to let people fool with it.

When I brought my ROTJ Luke reveal up here, my 'beta testers' found a couple flaws in that saber that I fixed that evening.

This one is doing well so far, no breaks yet.  LOTS of "Holy crap that is bright" comments.

I turned it on outside this morning, and it was about as bright as an indoors hasbro/MR in the morning sun.  Not sure if I'd get the same result in bright midday sunlight, but I could try later.

Swing sensitivity still needs to be lowered, it's at 4, I should try 2.   Clash is perfect.

I have a couple of thoughts about that... you know where I can be "found"  ;)


May the force be with you all!

Remember... speak softly and carry a well constructed light saber! :)

Dude! She's SOOOO adorable! That's just awesome. Hhhahaha Luke does the same thing. He's got a little red M&M saber too, except now he's big enough to carry the big ones around sort of.

That is too cute. This really put a smile on my face; I just love her expression when you power on the Obi for the first time. She was like  :o. Can't wait to see more!

Quite simply awesome, no other way to describe it


Obi-Wan: "So what I told you was true, from a certain point of view."
    Luke: "A certain point of view?"
    Obi-Wan: "Luke, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view."
