This is a pair of sabers that I just finished they have mr fx sound boards and are setup for reverse sound. The leds are lux 3 cyan and blue. The sabers couple together with a custom magnetic coupler. The blades are thick wall 1 inch diameter 30 inches long.

I like the claws on this, they look like they could be used as a weapon on it's own. :P

can you twirl them quickly without comming apart or how hard do you have to pull to get them appart?

magnet...? is that strong enough?

neodimnium or something, any way, rare earth magnets are way strong. I have some one inch cubes that are almost impossible to take appart with your bare hands.

Yep, if you've ever experienced the strength of neodymium magnets, you wouldn't have to ask. ;)

Those are very nice, Don. :cool:

As always, fantastic work Don.

The Simplicity of these is the real beauty, too many dual sabers are too flash, but these are great!

Great work Don! That coupler is slick! I like the emitter blades too.

Hey Don

Great idea there with the magnets. How far to the speakers need to be away from the magnets? I'm assuming you've done a reverse sound job because there would be some distortion?

lookin fresh Don! I like the claws but especially the magnetic coupler! Great job as always!

Thanks, the coupler does have a little flex but if it didn't it would be next to impossible to pull the sabers a part. The speakers are about 3/4 od an inch from the magnets and I used reverse sound becuse there was no good place for sound vents in the pommels.

Oooooooooooo That quick disconnect system with the rare earth magnets looks really sleek aesthetically in addition to being a REALLY "quick" disconnect. I love the way you mounted the magnets.
