    With a cross-slide, I think he means this type of vice, J-Lo. Once clamped, the stock can be positioned mechanically with the little hand wheels. I picked one up off craigslist, but haven't had a...

    I like the way you used the texture PC; makes it look machined out of cast metal.

    Wonderful "for kids" design. I'm loving the rounded pommel.

    The grip parts remind me of shower curtain rings; can we call this one the Del Griffith? :D

    She's going to love it. My son's...

  8. Craftsman PC system-opinions/advice needed

    Hey, y'all. I just picked up a Craftsman PC system off eBay (along with a nifty wall-mount convection oven via craigslist).

    Fine looking saber. Love the look of the EL accents.

    Is there anything covering the EL wire? It looks like not, but I've never worked with it. It's tough enough to go on bare?

    I'm so tempted to get on a soapbox here, but I think my personal rant about the trilogies could be a whole new thread. It definitely shouldn't get shoehorned in here.

    Thanks for the tip, hopefully that sale's in effect out here in Denver as well.

    EDIT: Just to clarify, that is the price available on Kmart's website, too. If you've been waiting to get your hands...

    That's a damn fine saber. Love the blade color especially; you nailed it.

    If you have the time, can you post the wiring details for this one, or your multimeter readings at the blue and red LED...

    I was just looking at some powdercoat materials, and saw (what I think) is a pretty close match for that saberstaff rendering. Not sure about how one would mask...

    That is one bad little unit. I love the simplicity of the overall design combined with the awesome details like the lighted pommel.

    As my wife is fond of saying, God is in the details. Well done.
