Hi all i've been in the forum for a little while and have now made my first purchase.

i'll be making 2 sinktube sabers.

I live in Brisbane Australia and the 12" 1.25" sinktubes that are sold at TCSS for for about $6USD are as rare as hens teeth here and when you do find them they are expensive $55AUD. So it was cheeper to get them from the states and shipped over than buying them from a Plumbing supplie store here.

apart from the blade tip i'll be getting the rest of blade from here in OZ

I look forward to making my own saber, the forums have been an invaluable resource.

i hope my first saber will look something like this

I agree with everyone else, that is a great render. What program did you use to make it? I also look forward to seeing it finished.
