Looks very nice! Now just clean the vaseline off your camera lens and take a picture with the lights on!

Looks very cool. Better pics the second time around. Still I don't get what the nameing sabers thing is about. Not that I have anything against, I just figured the sabers name was who owned/built it.
You know Vader, Yoda, that sort.
I think I will name my next saber "will he break it down and rebuild it in less than a month to do the modifications he should have done the first time around correctly?"

Live with it for a few weeks first and then think of a name

If I may, i think that most of us would call our saber's just "our" sabers, but we don't build and use just one. We build and use 4,5,6 or even 1,985,623.5 like LDM

So because of this, and possibly inspired by this, we name the sabers not only to tell them apart but to give them meaning. Something that they are for, not just another "toy" Sabers have stories, sometimes the name has to do with our experience building it. It is a way to give each saber a soul if you will, a purpose... *shrug* that's why i do it...
