    Default Caine's first build.

    Hey all....I normally spend my time over at FX-Sabers.com, but since I am starting builds I may hang out here more a bit...

    Here is my firstborn.

    This saber is for one of my upper ranking adult martial arts students whose name is Donna. She also takes my LED saber classes, and wanted an upgrade from her current stunt saber. I had a lot of fun with this build, and learned a great deal from all the troubleshooting, etc. Thanks to Jay-Gon Jinn for his build logs which taught me a GREAT DEAL...and a very special thanks Novastar and LDM for their help, support and inspiration. I look forward to many more builds to come.

    Specs:

    MHS acquired off of EvilBay already powder coated.
    Lux III Cyan (I am guessing a Bin 2)
    MR Luke ANH soundboard
    TCSS Premium Speaker
    4 AAA battery pack

    Hope you all like it.

    Good work, Mark. 'Bout time you did your first build.

    It's very comfortable with that choke. The pommel makes it just a tad uneven IMO, but that's the one that my student wanted. I would have opted for pommel 4 if it were my own as I think it follows the overall design...but she likes it and that's all that matters.

    Build #2 is already underway...#3 and #4 are already planned.
