I've had a few MR lighsabers and have enjoyed them, but, for years, I had wanted to build a custom lightsaber. That desire grew stronger when I began playing The Old Republic in late 2011.
As time went on, I started to learn of various saber crafters and metal workers that actually commissioned builds. Some of them were awe inspiring. I also became more familiar with some of the major players in the industry, like Vader's Vault. Learning more about the industry lead to to sites like FX-Sabers and IRA.
I am currently commissioning my very first custom build. I've been working with Wes at Nocturne Armory since late August and I'm really excited about what is coming together...
