this is bordering on slightly ridiculous.... I love it!!!

[cannibal869]

HOLY MOTHER OF @#$&%^!*(@&^
WOW... I mean... just WOW...

For a sabersmith like Makoto to wince at the brightness of the blade when it turns on, you know it's GOT to be uber bright!!!

[DJMoonbass]

DUUUUUUUUUUDE! man those things are bright as the sun man!!!!

where does he get those foam diffusers and what does he use to shrink wrap that entire ladder with?

im also curious as to how he manages the ramp effect without shadows from the wires. total awesome work

[Darth_Dadderall]

DJ: I notice he's using white wire the same gauge as the LED posts to run his ladders. It'd reflect the light and not absorb, and it's so small that the corona around it would render it effectively invisible even without the diffuser.

[Shadar Al'Niende]

DJ wont be reading your posts anymore, he has been banned...

[Gin Malinko]

after i finish the saber im working on, i plan to try making a makotosai style saber.

Ow! My eyes are burning!

[Gin Malinko]

wait, what? sabers? i thought these were those hand held light signals they use to guide planes in for landing. haha

[Darth Odious]

Awesome. Nice work, so what's next? 3? 4 LED strings? Pull that off and I'd pee myself in a fit of geekness.

Amazing sabers, was that blue hasbro even on?!
Are these Makototsai style sabers strong enough for dueling or are they just super bright show blades?
