    Cool

    Awesome gift. The force tells me your sis will appreciate all the time you put into this build.

    I've seen a few of these done based on a pattern. I do believe this is probably the best one I've seen yet as well, even though others have actually made a fake clamp from scratch. It's one part worth investing in for sure because the clamps didn't look too good.

    Very nice indeed. The only comment I would make is that it is either too long, or the grips are a little short.

    Very nice - All these Graflex (and type) sabers make me want one.

    I cut the sink tube too high. Basically, I laid out the tube based upon the Reflex pattern, then mis-measured the tube midpoint from the top of the emitter curve instead of the bottom. Thus the cut to make the two tube "halves" ended up being about 3/4" to 1" too high. In retrospect, I should have measured the grips and clamp from the bottom to determine the cut line.

    ITs not bad tbh, the perportions actually look right where as the origional graflex looked off to me aswell.
