wow! im speachless

I thought I'd share something I find really amusing. I just got a belated birthday from a close friend of mine...and I haven't been able to stop smiling since I got it. It amuses me so much...it's a pillow based on my lightsaber! Here's a pic I just took quickly because I really really had to share this...



I hate using this word...but I actually think the pillow's really cute, like a short fat squishy version of my lightsaber. Can you tell that I really really like it? =P

[Jasher Kain]

lol  :D
It is cute! Heck you could even add silver buttons to mimic the screws!

Here's summore (and better) pics!



Darn thing's got me giggling like a schoolgirl...

[The Highwayman]

Are you like James bond, sleeping with a saber under your pillow? ;D ;D

It's like a big, black and white Twinkie. ;) :D I love Twinkies.... It makes the saber look even better. :D

[Master Jedye]

Nice...
May the Fluff be with you! :D

[Jedi Knight Logan]

Snuggling with your saber..... it's all the rage with kids these days.... :D

Awesome saber my friend! :)

Not only do you have a finely crafted saber,  but now you have a nice soft version of it to rest your head on!  Too cool!

[Luke S.]

Not sure what to say.  Odd, bizzare, goofy, "CUTE"  ;D, one of a kind, strange.   

I have to say "cute" does fit it well.   I would also comment that "COOL" is a second runner up to cute.  :D

That took some time.  You must have a great friend that is so thoughtful to dream up an idea like that.  And so much effort to desgining and building your "snuggly saber."

I do have one question though.  Can you fit a sound board in it?  :D

[BEN KENOBI]

 :D :D

yes as long as the speakers are soft lol :D :D

[gundamaniac]

I actually have a cheapy toy Hasbro soundboard lying around...it's missing its clash sensor but I figure that a big pillow is going to absorb the shock so a clash sensor would be useless anyway. I'm thinking of throwing the Hasbro board in there...I just need a way to turn the thing on  ;)

It's been a couple days and the novelty of the pillow still hasn't worn out yet. I still smile when I look at the darn thing  ;D

[Walky]

wow........just ,wow 8)

[DarrynVarson]

I think the pillow rocks! It is cute but it is awesome.

Recently, I decided to begin the process of stripping the paint off of Obeisance to give it a fresh new coat (the old coat of paint was not applied properly and had a couple of minor nicks). While doing so, I decided to try weathering the paint job just to see how Obeisance would look weathered. I rather like the result and am debating whether to leave it looking worn or whether to finish sanding off the paint and reapply a fresh coat.

The following pictures were taken at night, so please excuse the low lighting and grainy photos. Also, I had the honor of being able to meet Yoda, among other sabersmiths, and I got a chance to see one of Yoda's Negotiators in person. I definitely could not pass up the chance to take side-by-side shots of my personal hilt with such an amazingly beautiful representation of the movie hilt of my dreams. I only wish I could have taken a couple of shots in a situation with better lighting:
