Sfd-1

[Treadingwolf]

I think the last saber i put together was for the contest.
Upon realizing that i have decided to quit "slacking" so to speak.
My son managed to break his saber because i was lazy and used a plastic slip joint instead of machining one. So i made him a brand spanking new one to teach myself a lesson. :P

So here is my latest.
It's 98.5% custom machined by me.
I modified a TCS blade holder and used a switch bezel.(That counts as 1.5% right?) =)
Leather wrapped grip
MR/Hasbro Anakin board.
Lux 3 green.
3.7 Li-ion 18650.
Recharge port.
Latching orange AV switch.
Premium TCS speaker.
Black appliance enamel accents.
There is no CT or D-ring.( My son is 5 and likes keeping his pants at waist level) =)

Nice saber. It's a got a cool look to it.

Now make the SDF-1... to scale. ;)

[Borax]

looks awesome. I really like the way you did the blade emitter, as well as the leather wrap. nice and clean.

Now make the SDF-1... to scale. ;)[/QUOTE]

It's full size.
13 3/4" over all.
He's grown a bit, his last one was just under 9". :)

I said SDF-1, not Sfd-1. It's a Robotech reference.

[jjshumpert]

now there is a project i can get behind, lets all pool our talents and build the mega road storm attack platform :D

[cannibal869]

lol yeah, I'd like to see an SDF-1 or even Valkyrie inspired saber one of these days!

But very nice job on that one Treadingwolf! I'm sure your son was happy with it!

[Lord Dottore Matto]

I really like this one. Good Job Bro!!!!:D

Your boy has got to love that saber. It kind of has a Yoda feel to it. I know it dosn't look like Yodas saber, I'm just saying it has a Yoda feel to it. Good job.

[Treadingwolf]

Thanks everyone!
Robotech..wow, i have not thought about that since i was in Jr. high. Don't ask how many years thats been :P

[Crystal Chambers]

I was thinking the same thing...kinda reminds me a bit of Yoda's saber. I need a lathe. Nice job!
