ArkLight Arsenal

SERVICES AND BUILD LOG

Hi all, I’m Goodman. :)  Thanks to Jango and Ki Adi Mundi for approving my posting this here pending their sticky.

ArkLight Arsenal is a storefront for my lightsaber-related artisan services. I have a full machine shop at my disposal and prefer crafting exceptional, fully custom built sabers. I excel in unique, one of a kind creations and can take your idea from paper to reality.

I am a business professional in “real life”, so only take on a limited number of projects each quarter. Please contact me via PM to receive a free itemized work summary, timeline and price estimate. If I cannot perform the work, I will happily recommend another qualified sabersmith to you.

Due to the highly custom nature of the majority of my work, many of the prices for my services listed below are flexible. Contact me for a quote catered specifically to your project. The more services you order, the less you’ll pay in total versus paying for each item separately.

If your saber runs overdue as a result of my schedule, you will be offered a discount to your final balance until you receive your saber. In addition to the standard 90 day warranties set forth by Jango Fett here in the Mining Colony, for most of my products undergoing Durability-spec upgrades I also offer on a case by case basis an additional 45 days warranty within the same terms.

Contact me via PM or at horus06268@yahoo.com

Thanks,
John Goodman

To the people on my build lists, you all have either a PM or email as of 10.2.09.


Let me reiterate that if my PM box here at FX-S is ever full, you are always welcome to email me at horus06268@yahoo.com.  (Twelve of you already do that, so disregard).

Emails allow me to track the entire message history between us beyond the constraints of my PM box's 50 message capacity, which is why I suggest it for those of you who have complicated projects (like you, Salvatore ;)).

Thanks everyone

[Goodman]

Lol.

Now that that is out of our system, let's all please NOT post in this thread. I'm compiling a list of updates that I will post in the next 2-3 days, and I would like to keep this thread clean of any extraneous posts.

Thanks  :)
