Thread: Your Biggest Saber Accomplishment

  1. #1

    Default Your Biggest Saber Accomplishment

    As I have been learning more about the hobby, I have found that saber building is really a form of artistic expression. All custom sabers, no matter how simple or complex they are made, are physical representations of a person's creativity. Each one is an accomplishment that the builder should be proud of. So what would you say has been your biggest accomplishment when it has come to building sabers?

    Welcome to saber building. You've taken your first step into a larger world.

    I would say that the biggest accomplishment for myself would be those moments of realization, those "eureka!" moments, when you realize that you can make something that you personally think is really cool but that you never thought would have been possible for you to make, before getting into saber building.

    Wiring is a very rewarding accomplishment.

    Also completing our first saber ever could be the biggest accomplishment...

    Finishing my first saber. Even if it was just a conversion, it's still a big deal to me.

    I completed my first two sabers, with sound, in about 3 week of work. (Pictures coming once I get some taken.)

    To get a bunch of stuff that was not made to work together connected together for a new purpose and stuffing it into a hilt... Then getting it to work.
