Greetings and salutations. I'm new to the board but not to saber building. At present I am working mainly on a hardwared Qui Gon and Obi Wan sabers for myself and my best man. I shall have both ready in time for my wedding Halloween 2009 but I am still working on and tweaking the other sabers I have built. Hardest time I am having is getting a pair of emitter ears for my Luke ANH and ESB sabers done. I have tutorials and all the needed sheet metal and cutters but wondered if anyone could point out what I am missing. I just can't seem to get the dang things right. In my bought collection I have a Hasbro FX Luke ANH as well as a MR Qui Gon Jinn plus two other sabers I won on ebay in the past. My hardware collection is around 8 or 10 as some of them I ended up taking apart for others. Anyway I hope to post some pics of my work and welcome any help of those little pesky fins.

Welcome to the forum. There are tons on information here and many expert saber smiths to get information from. I am having the same bunny ear problem myself. I am working on making some myself, but for now I just get ones from the MR Anakin ROTS and Luke ANH sabers. I will let you know as soon as I make some and will try to do a tutorial on them. Hope you find all the information you need here and most of all Have Fun! :D
