What would you guys say is the best config. settings for the PC 1.5 so that it is extra sensitive for swings and clashes?

i am trying to customize my PC so it would be super easy to have clash and swing sounds without having to break the house down  ;D

I read what Sollus said in the other thread.  I'd go with his suggestion.  Best thing you can do is to remove the clash sensor from the board and relocate it to another location in the hilt.  Probably close to the emitter.  Then just run a couple leads from it back to the main board.

(This is a common issue with many boards.  The most notorious for this is the MR boards.)

Problem is, we all make our sabers so shock proof to hold up to dueling, that by the time we're done, the clash sensor isn't getting enough feedback to do its job properly.

Hello all. Nice to see a Ontario thread. I have often contemplated what it would be like to meet and greet some fellow saber enthusiasts. Swap idea's, tips, showcase custom sabers and all that good stuff. I live in London. If some of you do indeed plan on gathering and whatnot I hope it gets listed here. time permitting I would definitely stop in.

Cheers

Well sadly i don't have an adequate camera to show off my sabers :( Trying to remedy that so i can do my review for the Orbital machining Obi-wan i have recently purchased. Also I don't have my Corran horn yet :) But you can check out my little Gallery of my fail Camera phone pics. and the original postings from the smiths that made them.

Also i put up a little vid of something else i am interested in. Non-Starwars related :)

wow, nice, very nice.

love the glove, man that is so cool.

yes, please get like a really good camera and take some pictures of all your sabers.

im going to do the same, i asked my father-in-law to build me a shelf to vertically hold all my hilts (no blade)

so ill take pictures of that soon once he finishes. its going to be a nice dark brown/cherry brown wood.

it will be like a really nice display case with lights etc. i cant wait. he is busy now but when he is free, he will build it for me.

you have a really nice collection so far from what i can see.

love the graflex too, so you bought that one right?  cause the video it says up for sale, hahahaha, so im guessing that was the one you bought off the other guy.

very nice.

Thanks for the compliments.  Yes the graflex IV i purchased off DS was his original sale thread. i am guessing the video you are asking about is the one on his for sale posting? It was just a referance so people could view his pics as i don't have the ability to post any of decent quality. I will definitely remedy that soon though!

Sounds good a display case is the way to go. I want to build my own horizontal version probably with two tiers. Enough length, width and height so i can place stands in it, possibly with a mirrored back and some nice wood as a base. I am currently using a old china cabinet someone was tossing. Serves it's purpose for the time being, but yeah it takes up a lot of room.

And thank you for the comments on my gauntlet. It took a lot of time to render this from original sketch to cutting to shaping to riveting. Was an awesome project. And i do intend to continue.

i look forward to seeing what you have in your own collection.

Cheers

I realize this is an old thread, but I'm new here and I would like this to happen. I live in Brantford, and would be willing to drive to Toronto if there were going to be enough people to have this club or whatever. But are there any new(er) members in this area? looks like we have about 4 or 5, are there any  others?

Either that or we could start small with a facebook page lol
