There are YEARS of information on FX-sabers, with lots of great discussions and mind-blowing tutorials. Some people like to learn things on there own and that's how we get all these great topics. Some of us like diagrams and instructions and see the value in those that have paved the way and shared their ideas. Below is an index of great tutorials around this site. It might be useful to post the links in one, easy to find place. Here's my attempt at this.
(This will be on-going and hopefully pretty extensive...so I’m sure I left a few out…please feel free to add them. I will edit the OP to reflect any changes)
Here we go!
