Anybody tried it? I came across it in the aisle at home depot and remembered reading about it on a different site. thought what the heck, 3/4 inch is 5 feet for a mere 3 bucks. if nothing else, it can be a practice blade. a quick run over to another aisle, picked up a mirrored rosette, a 3/4 inch copper coupling, a chair tip cover, and headed home.

cut to length, sanded the stuff out of it. glued the rosette into the chair tip and glued that on. Pushed the copper coupling on to the saber end. turned out the lights, and hit the switch.

these are with a Royal Blue Luxeon III 3w. not a bad practice blade for less than 10 bucks.
