Thanks!  You ain't seen nothing yet.  As much as I like my entry into this contest, there's other ones that are even more impressive (IMHO) and will just drop your jaw!

Quite awesome, Jon. 

Love the brass look with the red crystal chamber.

And yeah I agree, the wiring does indeed look great.  Excellent work!

I am very impressed by this saber. I think the neatness and organization of this saber was my favorite part. Now I can't wait to see the other entries. ;D

DANG!  That has got to be the NICEST looking internal system I have EVER seen.  And the grips....WOW! 
Very nice, Judge!

are those balsa wood panels you used as the sled for the driver?
inconceivable. nice touch though, very steampunkish.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

after looking at them all and bing stunned!! Arm On Fire has the one I like the most, I love the MHS choke. His entry is clean, unique, basic parts, not over the top (crystal chambers along with a whole slew of extras) I just love it… now don’t get me wrong Fenderbender & Allaerra Secura’s entry is very killer (I do love Brass... “brass is class”) along with JudgeSabersmith’s entry (again has that unique quality and brass). Lando I love your spaced Mara Jade grips! Lord Dottore Matto classic garflex I love the internals! ArkaiHalon viridian nice touch! eastern57 wow yours is the most... well different, very cleaver!

But, when the dust settles... I am with Arm On Fire... I just love it!

Arm on Fire's is awesome, that's for sure. But there's still one you havent' seen yet. IMO it gives Arm a run for his money in the awesome department.

Wow...the talent on all the entries is amazing - you guys really know your stuff.  These kinds of challenges are excellent vehicles to showcase your individual styles and design aesthetic - each of your takes on the basic, classic graflex saber is simply amazing.  That said, I had to vote for Arm on Fire's - the reverse color scheme and the simple clean lines really appealed to me.  In any event, ALL of the entries are superlative and show a level of skill and creativity FAR in excess of mine - good job and excellent work!
