My new custom

[tobu]

This is my last lightsaber. :-D

A long and fatiguing job has required, but it is finally complete now. :D

The hilt is full handicraft (a real artwork realized from my friend OldJedi Bruno),
electronics is the my friend Erv's Crystal Focus 2.5,
K2 green, Rumbling force feedback motor and Rechargeable battery pack .

I think some pics are better then thousand words :o :

that is beautiful! I love the emitter, it looks sooooo cool.

[Madcow]

Wow,
Great job!
It makes me want a milling machine!

I especially love the unique design. What did you use for a switch?

MC

[Lord Maul]

it looks like he used one of the vandal switches, judging by the 1st and 2nd pics.

[Vazan Maceu]

That saber looks absolutely fantastic, tobu, congratulations :D

I´d also like to know what kind of switch did you use :wink:

[Darth Lars]

Incredibly beautiful, unique saber design. I really like it!

[Barmic Rin]

wow. WOW!!!!!


WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

[valeon]

VERY nice my friend. It is a thing of beauty :P

[xwingband]

That emitter baffles me... I'm not sure how in the world that got machined. If it were bored out that would make sense but there is actual a curve inside it. It's almost as if the thing was machined then sandwiched to fold. :?:

Is there an odd number of holes? So a hole on the other side was used to get at milling the back????

[ArkaiHalon]

beyond awesome.

[jedi1789]

That is amazing..... Wow gerat job!

[goldsaberwarrior]

Dude SWEET saber you have there. Don't give up on making sabers we all like to see them.

Yea that does look like it would be some tricky machining. looks like it is bored out, you could do that with a boring bar if you lined things up just right. But dang that does make for one spectacular looking emitter. Hollow ones like that are always astounding.

I love the colored effects in the pictures with the blades. It makes it look as if it is made out of brass and a couple shades of copper.

A throughly amazing saber.

[Novastar]

That is BEYOND sick!

It is uber-sick with a twist of the flu... No, that saber is so sick... it's 3rd world country starving with a case of hypothermia!!!

It's just.... SICK. :) :shock:

[Jay-gon Jinn]

I'm not sure what to say other than that is a sheer work of art!

[TheOldJedi]

As i am the builder of that saber, i want to say :thank you everybody.
I'm very happy to see that my work is appreciated.

That saber is the Lightside version of my Sith saber.I changed shape to have only curves instead lines.And i keep natural aspect of material (my saber is home made black anodized,a very experimental process for me, whitch not work every time i try it).I add some engraving by remove anodized thin.

This is the black brother of Tobu's saber:

Sorry for my bad english.

And thanks to Novastar for the very good soundfonts.(I try to make personnal ones, it's difficult to make better than you).

[Jay-gon Jinn]

Well, the evil twin looks really good, too!

[Enolmano]

since the other guys took all the nice hyperlatives you'll just get:

O.o

EDIT: mmmm, me like evil^^

[ArkaiHalon]

I'm normally not a fan of "dark sabers" but i like this one very very very very very very much.

wiping drool off of keyboard.

[supertrogdor]

That is some beautiful creativity turned Saber, Rock on!

[tobu]

Very happy to see you here.
:D
Welcome to the forum my friend OldJedi

I think people have to know your wonderful work :D

[Jedi-Loreen]

Yes, thank you very much, both of you, for sharing these marvelous sabers with us! :D

[vortextwist]

very, very nice. I'm lovin both of them, epecially the evil one :D

[Soulkeeper7700]

both of those sabers, complete works of art. any chance of them being up for sale??

[Ghostbat]

squeak!

[37H4N]

OMG! those are amazing! There are few sabers out there that elegant. Take good care of it. Just out of curiosity, how much did it cost?

[37H4N]

[Angelus Lupus]

OMG double post! :)
Seriosly tho: Nice looking sabers

[Darth Morbius]

I've seen pics of these before, and I must say they are VERY nicely done!

I want one! ;)

[DACOTA]

Ryu did this to me, so here back at ya.


DOUBLE POSTER! DOUBLE POSTER!

:lol: sorry Dacota, I had to. :lol:

:lol: Sorry Ryu, I had to. :lol:

Oh the double posted irony. :lol:


Oh and a very sweet saber, I love it! :wink:

[37H4N]

What the?! I deleted that second one!
Ack! Oh well. When I posted, it took awhile then said something about an error. Then I got off the internet, got back on and deleted the post. And it said "do you want to delete this post?" and I clicked yes. but oh well.

I knew you'd do that Dacota if I didn't delete it which was what I was trying to do. :roll:
I need a mod or some one to delete it for I guess.

[sekrogue1985]

beautiful man simple beautiful

[Darth Zecks]

HUMMANA HUMMAN HUMMANA HUMMANA(DROOLS). I have not seen a saber that sick since............well, a while. Awsome job.

[Deadeye]

alrighty,

absolutely top notch, i appreciate the turning and milling that went into it. a crackin design well executed. 8)

my kindest regards

deadeye

[GeluKhanGharr]

I've been building sabers for a few years now and have had many drool over them, but your work my friend, beats by far anything I have ever designed. True works of art! BRAVO!
I am Gelu-ous

[JediTom]

Wow is all I have to say about both sabers.

[gundamaniac]

Those are amazingly beautiful lightsabers. The organic curves lend it a very unique feel. Be proud of your definitely one-of-a-kind creation. Or two-of-a-kind, as the case may be.

[BhujangiJedi]

I'm glad this old thread got dug up - that is an amazing saber that I wouldn't want to miss! I've gone through a lot of the gallery, but not all of it - are those in the gallery?

Excellent design and beautiful craftsmanship!

[Soulkeeper7700]

i already commented on this awsome set of sabers, but i too, am happy this was dug up. i love the design and want to keep it in my posts. great job again OldJedi

[sfer1]

Coolest lightsaber ever!!!

[JasonEuc]

WOW!!!

Love those sabers!

[Darth Tollo]

I would just like to start one of those slow claps only seen in movies...

*Clap........Clap......Clap....Clap...Clap..Clap, Clap*:D

[DARTH KALEL]

that is absolutely amazing work man, kudos, I like the green as well.

[Hasid Lafre]

holy thread revival batman!

[Mat Katarn]

Excellent custom job

[ARKM]

Frikkin' awesome!

[Eco]

That first saber is just... WOW!

AMAZING!
Who says you need brass and lots of LEDs to make a work of art?

Can't see the second saber, though.
But I'm sure it's equally as AWESOME!

Great work!

[Angelus Lupus]

holy thread revival batman!

It needed saying again.

[cannibal869]

that thing is uber cool! Really nice emitter - it actually gives me an idea for something that I've been searching for for quite some time now, but couldn't quite get a grasp on. VERY VERY nice!!!

-C

[Guardianofwinds]

So sleek, elegent. I love the design. And the emitter/blade holder is what intrigues me the most. Very intersting. How long did it take you to fully create all this? Two words EPIC WIN!!!!!!

[Darth_DevilGuy]

man this one seems to get necro'd every month or so...

[Rasser]

holy thread revival batman!
and again :) awesome saber though it deserves the bumbs

[DJMoonbass]

It looks like to me that it was CNCd that is gorgeous. Deffinatley worth remebrance in the Jedi Archives. Incredible. The complexity matched with the grace and curvurature just compliments this hilt ten fold. I love it. Im awed.

[terminator117s]

that is probably the coolest saber i have ever seen! way too go, i am very jealous!!!!!

[Lord Maul]

man this one seems to get necro'd every month or so...

QFT...

The saber was made in 2007, I don't think Tobu needs any more compliments. ;)
He knows that we all love it already.

[Caine Drathul]

A thing of beauty. Congrats and great job!

[Jay-gon Jinn]

Hey, Maul, BUMP! ;)

[sithlordfaust]

[Lord Maul]
