Coil by Yoshi-Taka

[Yoshi-Taka]

Not my first saber but still one I wanted to show off. I finally understand the addiction behind building lightsabers, lol.

SPECS:
-MHS parts
-Novasound Neutrino board
-Seoul P4 LED (red)
-TCSS Premium Speaker
-In-pommel recharge
-4 NiMH AA batteries
-Covertec wheel
-8-32 set screw (blade holder)
-Random kill key that I grabbed from my spares
-And not a fancy thing about it

My builds strive for low-to-mid budget and simplicity (I'm a practicing Jedi after all) and while there's plenty of curves, it's still fairly simple in design. It was inspired by, and named after, a snake that roams about my yard. Ironically, the blade looks blood red in person and it's soooo pretty..

I like it - an excellent example of KISS theory (keep it simple, stupid). Plenty of room for visual enhancement later if you so want, but doesn't need any if you don't.

[Yoshi-Taka]

Thank you. That's my philosophy in all my builds. Ideally, I want all those grooves to be powder coated black in the future, so I might do that later on.

Very nice. I like anything with a red blade and the simple design looks classy. well done

[Yoshi-Taka]

Thank you. Classy was definitely not the first term that came to mind when I designed it, lol.

Very snazzy. She looks even better in video. And by snazzy, I mean subtle, of course. Because those two words mean the same thing....I'm pretty sure....

Anyway, I dig it. My parts are on order for my first saber, and I tried to keep it as simple as possible, while still having some sort of personality.

As a wise Jedi master once said, "Adventure? Excitement? Fancy Shmancy Lightsabers? A Jedi craves not these things..."

[Yoshi-Taka]

Yep, definitely have the exact same meaning in every context always.

I love simplicity. I mean, major kudos to builders like LDM who make incredible and very detailed sabers.. but I like simplicity and practicality. I build as if I were going to actually use it in battle. Coil reflects this, I think. My first lightsaber is even simpler than this one, but I'm not gonna post it. But thank you. I'm glad you like it. I love this saber.

Come on post the other saber we want to see!

[MandoJoe]

Come on post the other saber we want to see!

Seconded. I'm very interested to see what else you've done/can do.

[Yoshi-Taka]

:rolleyes: Alright fine, I'll post my first saber later.

[Vlad Doon]

Simple, but hey... " Judge by its details you may not"

You were right to post genesis as well, very elegant

[Yoshi-Taka]

I have a slightly more "complicated" design in mind already for my next one (the one that will become my personal saber). And thank you.
