My guess is that's why.

You don't even know if they have long enough drill bits yet?

I think I might have found that out as I was working on the design for my saber.

I saw his post, I read threads before I reply, my question was why put in half the effort for something so technical as a 3d render of a prototype. Its kinda like an architect showing up at a groundbreaking ceremony and telling the public/construction crew that the future building will be grandiose and perfect, and then drawing them a picture that looks like

I see where he just said that some of the stuff he doesnt know how to do, but the rest, cut due to time/effort? Someone needs to look up due diligence

lol i see your point. but most of the stuff im machining i cant do on the program because i dont know how to simulate it. as for today i got all the internal boring and drilling done. yes they had plenty long drill bits and Reems

The boy learns....

There sounds like there's going to be too much going on with the hilt for how I would do it, but that's a nice design thus far.

Me personally, I like my saber the same way I like my women; Simple, elegant, and I can comfortably get both hands around it.

As for the length, that may be an issue dependant on your height, but you can do anything with practice...

It's nice to see you've got something to show for all this postwhoring...

LOL!!! if it turns out to be tooo long ill get a shorter blade. but i prefer the staff feeling above anything else. and yes theres going to be a ton of detail on this thing. i dont expect to get it done in one week. lol
