    Wow, just... wow. And telling the rest of us mere mortals that you wanted to do something "a little more challenging" is mean, man; mean. Love your work.

    CFLS... You lucky duckling!!!

    I think this is going to be your best piece to date.

    I love the obi, it's probably my favourite of all.

    Sir, when I read "Everything leading up to this has been practice to me" I literally got a cold shiver up my spine. Considering your work inspired me to begin saber building , to say I look forward to another creation from you is understatement.

    AWESOME work so far Brad. I really love the domed fins in the crystal chamber. I do think they would look better a little thinner though.

    Once more, this saber will result in a "waaaaao". I'm amazed by this step by step build. Can't wait for the result

    Thanks all...
    Broke a 4-40 tap last night or I'd be further along on this. BUT I was able to drill out through the center of my brass rod, which was nice.



    Comin along, as I get time to work on it.

    So the plan is to cut these fins in half, and do a little more milling, but this is the test first piece to see what I think.



    I like it, I want to shave some more off it, but it's getting close to what I have in mind. Pardon the crumby cellphone pics, I took these at my desk at work.

    Now... are you cutting the fin in half because it improves visiblity and this is basically a cut-away sabre, or are you doing it because you see some benefit to the cut-away look to the "real world" weapon?

    No, it's a cutaway within the chamber to show the crystal,, kind of like:



    Here's the plan, I hope I have illustrated it correctly, it's kind of hard to draw these compound curves and such.
