Hello everyone...

...well if you've all been wondering where I was the past week I've been in the Crystal Cave building
a new lightsaber... 8)

The NEGOTIATOR A.O.T.CF-4.0
aperture operated tangible crystal focus 4.0

This is the First of a new "Special Edition" and limited line of FX-Sabers.
Those that are completed will be made available through auction or private listings when available.

I've done Two so far...
One for me as a 3watt for testing and the other as a 5watt for our Forum Moderator Obi-wan Kenobi.

Yes, a Third is underway and will be made available soon so please be patient as these can not just be ordered
and not all hilts can be made to do this so they will be limited to what I am able to properly modify.

here are some specifics about the saber but the pictures say it all ;)
 Hilt Features:

- Aluminum and Stainless
  construction-
- Highly Polished and
  Anodized Finishes -
- Aluminum Covertech Wheel -

- Blue Luxeon V LED with optic Lens  and
  Durable Aluminum 1inch Diameter Blade Socket -

- Counterweight Battery Cartridge Pommel using
  High Capacity Lithium CR123 Batteries -

- Plecter Labs Crystal Focus 4.0 Sound Effects
 with pre-configured SD card -

- SD Card Access Aperture featuring an illuminated internal
  Crystal Chamber with Genuine Aqua Aura Quartz and
  Swarovski Synthetic Crystals -


A little note about the primary quartz crystal...
Aqua Aura (Aqua Aura Quartz)
Aqua aura is quartz that is gold infused by taking 12 hours to heat the quartz to 1600F while setting a vacuum equal to 2 earth atmospheres, then letting chemically purified gold vapors into the chamber when the temperature and vacuum are correct. This bonds the gold to the lattice of the crystal, forming a permanent bond to the surface of the quartz and giving it an electric blue color.

I'm still speechless, Master Yoda.  :-X

That's all I can say right now.

I had a feeling you were about to unload some massive saber goodness for our eyes to feast upon master Yoda!
:o :D

 :) Yes, when YODA is away there are sabers being made :D

this would represent the most difficult and time consuming installation I've done to date
as every millimeter of space is being used and the internals had to be mounted to take the abuse of being
dueled with as well so its a lot of hand bending and forming things until they not only look right but fit
and allow just enough room to comfortably route all the electrical lines.
Of course there is also holding the board in place so it doesn't move and can have the SD easily accessed
along with having just enough distance from the crystal chamber components to get the SD card in and out
but still go with the inner chamber theme.

All in all I'm pleased with the way they came out and both the display and usability factor make it
unique like the Graflexs with their crystal chambers.

I think the timing is good as well since the ATOC animated movie will be in theaters next month and
the AOTCF4 designation just made sense ;)



It will soon be in Master Kenobi's Possession once the new set of properly shaped Pommel cubes are finished...
so I'm sure He will give us a full review to go with the Pictures I've posted.

 :o :o :o :o :o  8) 8) 8) 8) 8) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

THE...MOST...AMAZING...SABER...EVER.

'Nuff Said.
To DREAM the IMPOSSIBLE DREAM. To FIGHT the unbeatable foe. To BEAR with unbearable sorrow. To RUN where the brave dare not go. To RIGHT the unrightable wrong. To LOVE, PURE AND CHASTE, FROM AFAR [-sigh-]. To TRY, when your arms are too weary; to REACH the unreachable Star!... This is my Quest; To follow that Star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how far...

I'm really glad I'm married right now. After seeing that (the most beautiful saber ever built) If I where single I would be refinancing my house to get all the equity out to buy that one. I see this going for $1k TO $2k on the bay. Just absolutely awesome Yoda. I could not type enough good woods about this saber.
