Title: Tobu's custom
Post by: tobu on September 08, 2007, 12:02:00 PM

This is my last lightsaber.  ;D

A long and fatiguing job has required, but it is finally complete now. :D

The hilt is full handicraft (a real artwork realized from my friend OldJedi Bruno),
electronics is the my friend Erv's Crystal Focus 2.5,
 K2 green,  Rumbling force feedback motor and  Rechargeable battery pack .

I think some pics are better then thousand words   :o :

WOW! That is a beautiful saber! I love the switch and emitter!! That thing looks more like a work of art then a saber!!

WOW That is awesome!  I love the design, definitely very Jedi-ish, almost like from the Knight Of The Old Republic or possible Expanded Universe style.

WOW. What a brilliant looking saber. I'm really liking the Blade Holder  ;D

The green of the blade sets off the hilt quite nicely INHO.

wow, I love the details on the hilt, just absolutely stunning.  It's about time someone used that activation button!  Definitely a very nice combination, let me know if you ever decide to sell it ;-)

As i am the builder of that saber, i want to say :thank you everybody.
I'm very happy to see that my work is appreciated.

That saber is the Lightside  version of my Sith saber.I changed shape to have only curves instead lines.And i keep natural aspect of material (my saber is home made black anodized,a very experimental process for me, witch not work every time i try it).I add some engraving by remove anodized thin.

This is the black brother of Tobu's saber:

Sorry for my bad english.

Wow - very nice!

Much respect Old Jedi, you are quite the artist and craftsman, the saber has got a real character and uniqueness. Do you have any more pics of your sabers or bigger ones of your Sith sabers? Oh, and a warm welcome to the forums too...

...and Tobu, congratulations on owning such a beauty - enjoy it, I'm sure you are without any encouragement already...

Wow... That saber is... Immaculate, to say the least. I am very curious as to how the emitter was created. It's very original.

The saber color is also very beautiful. That green is amazing! I want a saber of that color now.

My hat's off to TheOldJedi.  ;)
