[ARKM]

Very interesting hilt there. Looks like something from the 60's. :)

[samurai_rob]

That's Great, Kal! "Karen" is a lovely lady! I love the "Ancient" look. When I get my Golden Age Sith Saber done, we may have to duel! :D

Awesome Job!

[DJMoonbass]

[cannibal869]

I really like that paint job - it looks like it's got some very nice texture to it. My deepest condolences on your loss - I'm sure she loves it wherever she is

[Tradeliphine]

nice work man, looks very functional, could definately see that in one of the films

[Hasid Lafre]

Do you think you can post pictures, for some reasion this pc has problems opening peoples photobucket when they have a million pictures that are just dumped into one folder.

[ArkaiHalon]

excellent work. first saber or not, well done. I really like the color choice, and how it contrasts against teh blade holder.

and my heartfelt condolences on your loss. This saber will be a great way for you to remember her.

[Hasid Lafre]

looks good

[Sairon]

Looks great, sorry for your loss.

[DJMoonbass]

Recharge port for the batts. and to get the saber into totally off mode. Oh and the LEDs and Blade blinking with the music is part of the CFSC board.

[Jedi-Loreen]

Nice tribute saber, Kal.

[Pullo]

Nice work on that saber. I sure you wife would have appeciated the effort you put in to it.

[Jay-gon Jinn]

Nice work, Kal-El!

[Jedi554]

Well done, Kal! Sorry about your wife...

[Tradeliphine]

I love that saber, I keep looking at it each time I read this thread instead of just jumping to the last post

[ArkaiHalon]

Kal, I said it before, I'll say it again. great work. what a terrific way to honor your wife's memory.

[Rhyen Skytracker]

Awesome job Kal and sorry for your loss. Can't wait to see your next saber.

[LordCyric]

Nice choice with the hammered finish and the ancient sound font... Hopefully I can pick ups CFSC someday...

[Kal El Rah]

Thank You all for your comments. I am sure she would have loved this saber as much as I do. She was the 1 that encouraged me to build this and was also the 1 that purchased the CFSC for me to do this.

Again thanx.:grin:

[Barmic Rin]

Very nice dude, a great tribute.

[DJMoonbass]

its a cool saber!!!

[Revan]

looks nice man! i like how you set up those bar graph like indicator leds.

[Kal El Rah]

looks nice man! i like how you set up those bar graph like indicator leds.

That's part of the CFSC Card.

[Revan]

That's part of the CFSC Card.

i know :rolleyes: i was talking about the pattern, sorry i wasn't specific enough

[Kal El Rah]

Revan, again, that is part of the setup in the program for the accent LEDs. It is a binary counter that you can change the sequence by changing the parameters in the led config. settings.

[Revan]

oh my goodness (face palm)...
not the "blinking" pattern. the staggered up-down/zig-zag positions that you installed the led's in. (i'm trying to give a compliment ppl, i'm not stupid.)
i know all about that counting program.

[Kal El Rah]

D'oh on me , I did those that way because of room limits in that section, thanx though....................:cool:

[airsoftmode]

Dude that looks awesome, that finish look way to good to have come out of a can. I wont even watch the video though, every time I see a cf in action it depresses me that I can't find one. Beautiful work though. Especially for a first saber.

[Kal El Rah]

Thank You airsoftmode for the compliments, especially about my paint job. I used to do custom paint jobs on motorcycles of mine and I didn't have the money then for a descent compressor or gun, so I used the cans(LOL) got good enough to start doing others motorcycles for money, but the paint came out like glass my way, so, I can paint with a can as well if not better than somebody with a gun. :cool:

[wookieecrisp]

That's awesome!

[Lawrs1]

Great looking saber, and I can't think of a more fitting tribute

[Darth_Shadox]

gorgeous. congratulations on such a wonderful tribute.

[JediMasterDak]

Looks good.....





JK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was there when you were wiring up that CF and I could tell you were super excited to finish the KAREN up! She looks beautiful with the finish and the bling!!! She sounds beautiful tooooo!!!!! I'm very sorry that you had to lose your wife, that really isn't fair. You did an amazing job on this saber, and it looks as if you have made 1,000,000 sabers before it. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Lonewind]

Very cool! Love the details you made and the paint looks great too!

The "ancient saber" sound font was an excellent choice.

[Kal El Rah]

Thanx Lonewind:D:cool:

[Ghostbat]

A very well done saber and a touching tribute.

I like that the origins of the hilt's body are not easily evident but their presence reinforces the feel of the original sabers. The beaten copper look has well executed.

AND it's a first hilt! I'm impressed!

[Vazan Maceu]

That saber is truly a great tribute, you´ve done a fantastic job with it. Real nice for a fisrt saber project, congratulations :)

[Ebek]

That's awesome!

[ErikTheHack]

Awesome! Really nice job! Copper RULES ;)

[DJMoonbass]

[Aradian Valentine]

There is so much love surrounding this saber, it glows without being on.
