Thank you all for the comments and the continued support.  It was definitely a fun build and I'm glad to see Eric likes it!

Such a great saber!  I love that the sabersmiths sometimes take risks when selecting color schemes and trying new combinations.  I mean you can never go wrong with steel or aged steel but as this saber sees some use the wear marks will make this thing very striking. 

Great work again.  Also love the idea of the CF acting as a backdrop.

Everytime someone post here, I also go to the first post to watch the saber again, and man,... I wish I had that beauty here to hold it myself.

We like to keep sabers for a week or two, run down a few sets of batteries, make sure the recharge port and charger all work. 

"FATE" is getting shipped to it's owner tomorrow. 


Here's how.    ;)

First we find out what size shirt the customer wears.  My wife prints the 2 logos out and irons them on a pocketed T-shirt.  (She good for stuff like that...  ;) )  Little GC circle on the pocket... big banner on the back.



Next, we start rolling the saber in the shirt... TIGHTLY!



Then, we secure the shirt with tape and ribbon.



Also included in the box is a 34 inch poly-c blade and his "padawan pack".  The pack is his Tenergy charger, Halon Customs Saber stand, 2 Allen wrenches (taped to the charger) and an 8g flash drive.  On the flash drive are his build pictures, the "reveal" pictures and video and his Video Instruction Manual, which is about 18 minutes long.  We do the Video Manual because I dread having to print an instruction manual.  So I talk about the parts of the saber, how to clean it, how to remove the blade or safety plug and the CF instructions.  I think this goes over better than our old manuals.   



Then everything is loaded in a long USPS tube, filled with newspaper, taped up with HD DuctTape and ready for pick up.

Once again, Eric... Thank you.  You should get this sometime this week!  May it serve you well.

Thanks Casey & Dusty!  I'm really excited about getting Fate into my fat Jedi hands.


May the Force be with you!

Luke: Thats...very unlikely.

I missed this saber somehow, but wow! I love the Trans Red on this. I think Trans is becoming my new favorite thing to see on these masterpieces. As always, these turn out magnificent.

I am the the soon to be proud owner of FATE.  Master Jedye and CHEWBACCA are amazingly talented and I couldn't be happier with the result!  I spoke with Master Jedye a couple of times and he could not be a nicer person. They have a customer for life.  


Thanks guys,

Eric (EBG2465)

No... it's just highly polished MHS pieces.

It can back for an upgrade so we shipped it back in it's new box.
