Okay... stupid question... How do you cut out the etching pattern? Is it done by hand (crazy!) or do you have a program and machine that cuts it out for you?
By the way, holy cow this is cool!!
Crazy gorgeous!
I have a drill bit and a wood lathe and would do it for you, but I'd have to have the wood in pieces of about 4" or less... Problem with any longer than that is it's a pain in the rear to drill...
Too long for my taste, but...
Oooooooooohhhhh, that's purdy!
Very nice! I know you shant rush a thing like this, but I'm excited to see a finished product...
Hey Evilpancreas!!
Sorry man. Didn't mean to leave you hanging... I was still wondering if you're putting together a Rube-Goldberg or if your project has some other goal in mind. I wanted to...
Sounds like the Rube-Goldberg projects I have my physics students do, and the ones done for the Science Olympiad competitions... :)
If I understand correctly, the saber would have to ignite itself...
I, for one, would love to see Ford, Hammill, and Fisher come back to introduce the Solo kids and the New Jedi order... If they grab some good stories from the EU, we could look at a real good series...
Heya folks!
I didn't want to start a new thread for such a simple question... It's more for clarification for me than anything. I looked through the owner's manual and noticed that there is a...
Hey IvPalmer!
Didn't know you were in Brasil! Voce e' brasileiro ou so 'ta morando la? Como 'ta a vida meu amigo!? Me sinto falta do Brasil. Faz muito tempo desde que sai'.
I actually like both designs. The new version looks more classy though. I'm a fan of the gear, but the location is more fitting to a choke. I didn't see this the first time around and I think both...
Resta,
There are TONS of videos on YouTube about soldering and tips that are helpful. Make your way o'er that way and study up a bit before your first few rounds. Also, practice on something...
Thanks LK for the response...
With regards to #4 and #5... The guarded switches may have a bezel but it's not curved to fit the curvature of the saber hilts, so the sides stick out and look...
Hey folks!
Sorry to post this, but I'm hoping I can get a few short answers and then be on my way to finishing a few things...
1) I'm using an econo board for my son's saber pike and I pulled...
Phoenix, I think "MRS" referred to the man's wife, lol...
I can't travel much and I'm certainly not moving to Indy, but I'd have a blast doing something like this... :)
Oh! Two-saber stuff...
Cool! Too bad my wife tells me I look like a goof swinging them around in the back yard. Too bad I don't have any other lightsaber wielders close to me :)
Thanks all!
I look at some of the amazing work that's created here and I just want to build tons of sabers. The Mrs. is slightly against me spending my entire fortune (lol, j/k) on sabers, so I'm...
I decided to put together a Rahm Kota saber at a cheap cost. It'll be a variant. Somewhere after the one Rahm Kota had and what it became when Galen Marek used it... Imagine the saber making it back...
Awesome! Thanks for the vid too! It's awesome to see these in action and it makes me look forward to them all the more...
:)
That was my main concern, was the "interlocking fingers" I don't want to bridge to switch spot... Typically there is some obvious solution that I don't see, and seeking this solution was my intent...
So, I'm hoping I can get some help here from so many of you folks who are smarter and more experienced than me... I started building a pvc Rahm Kota variant and decided I'd include another cheapo...
I'm starting to regret having posted this. Here I was thinking I was going to help, and I've started a "complaint" thread...
Dangit... Apparently "these aren't the droids you're looking for......
If you have a way to keep the whole thing stable while doing some boring, I'd do what Crystal suggests...
Bore a 1" hole in the blade holder in about 2" for good support of the blade. Then...
Similar to Tim's MHS Saber Builder here, a site I've been getting catalogs from for years (and ordering from as well) has developed an online builder for Custom Jedi Costumes. I've not ordered a...
