I just went through all 20 pages of this thread. And sometimes looking at the stuff guys like Sloth, here, can do just makes me want to hang up my soldering iron; I know that, no matter how many sabers I make, I'll never match anything like this. But, all I can do is the best I can do, regardless of how many times I have to rebuild or repair one frakking saber, or how weak/nonexistent my Dremel-fu is.

Regardless, this is just a phenomenal looking saber, Sloth. Can't wait to see it done, and what happens to it at this event. (For your information, as well, I know that there are some folks in the Rebel Legion that are working on Satele Shan costumes. I suspect many of them would drool to get their hands on something like this...)
