well I have been lurking around the site for awhile trying to learn what I needed to be able to make myself, and my son, a saber. At first my eyes were OO as I saw the possabilities of what could be done, and then I was :( as I put together not only the work it would take to do it but also the kill on the pocketbook. Now I am not against taking the time and putting the work in, I just was overwhelmed at what could be done and what my skills (or lack of) were for me to do what I desired. And for me to develope those skills I saw many a broken and busted saber part in my future, lol.
Well, thanks to Jay-Gon-Jin's post with his padawan sabers thread I am full of hope and excitement. I just went out tonight to Lowe's and Radio Shack to start getting a list of what is available to build my first saber. It will be for my 3 yr old son and will be for all intents and purposes a very basic entry level saber. Just right for me :D With a little experience from that I can take the next step up and build me own.
I actually am looking forward to him getting a little older so I can take the next step and build him his second saber using what I have learned putting our first ones together.
So with that, I will probably be making threads on here asking for help for things that might seem very obvious to you all... but that is just me. I am very analytical and like things spelled out for me, at least twice. My mom always said I was a bright kid, just lacked common sense :wink:
So in advance, thank you all for your future help and current inspiration.
