ahhhh, i see.

nice. i like it. i really like it.

how come no one has made a Sidius saber?  i mean i saw an Iron Man saber and a Superman saber, but never seen a Sidius saber. wat up wit dat! 



First off, it's TINY.  Secondly, there is really no good way to insert a blade into that hilt.  That's why it tends to get left alone.  The dimensions just aren't feasible to hold a blade and still keep the proper look to the hilt.

wow, its that why eh?  hmmmm, is it smaller than a Yoda?  Yoda's saber is pretty small too. i guess you cant use a big soundcard. maybe a stock MR or maybe an Igniter. Igniters are small.

yeah, too small to work with, no room. but that is a challenge.

so Janmizzle and i are going to get together this weekend and are going to work on wrapping project. we are going to pimp out some of our sabers by wrapping them up in leather (aligator, snake) and tying them up with leather lace/string.

give it that old republic look. its going to be a first time for the both of us so hopefully it turns out well.

if it looks good, we will post some pictures. if not, well, i guess we wont. hahahaha.

there are a few ideas we have in mind. we can use the lace and just keep going around and around. give it that sword look. very cool. or use the leather sheets and wrap it around and then use the lace to make like a criss cross motion to tie it up. give it that cool Barbarian look  :P

we will see. its a work in progress.

hahaha, and if it looks crappy, we might not post picks because we will eventually take it apart and try try again.

I use 1/8" chrome auto trim to add character to my sabers. You can pick up a roll of it at Crappy Tire for dirt cheap.

Check out the bottom three. All of them have trim on it.





Worth it.

Yeah it refers to Continental US ... all states except Hawaii and Alaska. Doesn't mean they won't consider shipping to Canada .. just ask

I wouldn't say North America .. That's Canada, US and Mexico  .... It would be better to say everything in between Canada and Mexico

You could right click the image and go to view, or....

I could post others. Here you go. They'll still be bigger if you right click them. Enjoy.

hey Smokiewan,

you know where i can get a 7/8 clear blade with cellophane and pointed mirror tip?  i wanted to buy one from VV but they dont have clear.

reason why i need a 7/8 is because some of my sabers dont take a 1" blade. too tight. 

cheers.
