Thread: Finished 1st Saber. Help me name it!

    Talking Finished 1st Saber. Help me name it!

    hello. Just finished my first saber, and first off I would like to thank all that helped on the forums and tim for making great parts. But anyway its constructed of mostly MHS parts, but it does have a custom sleeve that I made and also I had a local shop did the powder coating (flat black on the hilt and brass on the choke and emitter). Also I had some parts made from shapeways and odd parts from amazon for the motorized crystal chamber. Sound is through a NB 2.0, color is a tri rebel rb rb white for foc. Critiques are welcome would love to hear some constructive criticism. Will have vid of rotating chamber later camera battery died

    Also it needs a name and would love some suggestions!

    Thanks again all!

    First saber, huh? Well, that's... sweet. Nice job. Grumble grumble... jealous... grumble. As for a name, I vote for "Bob". No one ever names a saber that, they always seem to go so serious and deep and really important sounding, so I vote for whimsy. "Kid, stop selling those Death Sticks, or I'm going to beat you about the head with Bob until you get your mind right."

    Great work on the hilt. It came out great.

    As far as names go, it a personal decision, what I would recommend is that if you pick a name do a search here and on FX to make sure it hasn't been previously used, or one I plan on using. Many use latin or other language translations for their names.

    This is an amazing saber. I havent seen a design this unique in ages, it really reminds me of when I first started in this hobby.

    Bob has really grown on me.

    Wow, incredible job there! This is an amazing first build - congrats!

    I believe the Latin for Bob is 'obbay'

    Google Translate says the Latin for "Robert" is "Robertus." I'm not quite sure I trust that translation.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.
