Ok... so... to put it succinctly: MANY sabersmiths will be having a quasi-unofficial gathering which will take place near my home...

-----------------------------------------
WHAT: Sabersmith gathering
WHERE: SJ/SF Bay area of California
WHEN: July-ish 2009
WHY: Because we want to + there is power in numbers...
WHO: Novastar, Erv, Eandori, Yoda, Judge + JSaberChick, LDM, Gravy... and possibly a few others--who have yet to confirm, deny, or yell at / cajole me.

Sorry, this is by INVITE only. We can't have 100 people swarming all over the place... lol
-----------------------------------------

So why the bloody 'ell am I posting about this? Well... I'm open to hearing a few "requests" on things you'd like to see from us.

This doesn't mean we're making promises... it's just to get ideas from everyone on things they might like to see. Maybe a quick question that really hasn't been answered before... maybe just a simple wiring exampler... maybe a certain dueling move? I don't know... this is why I'm thinking that some "brainstorms" from you guys might give us some good material to try!

Again--sorry--no promises, but... I will tell you all this: we're going to be doing PLENTY of video.

Just out of curiosity, are there any specific topics you guys planning to discuss?

whoa you're up late/early when you posted this hehe like 3 am ish
anyway, maybe you could individually pick a speciality to focus on eg. you on duelling/choreo/tricking, Erv on wiring etc while the others help/collaborate so you all have your own "sections" while the others are assistants. Just an idea.

I would like to see more duelling/choreo. Duelling is cool. And some showing off of sabers of course

Oh, and if possible I would like to know how you constructed your sabers (the Flanges), that hasn't really been explained in a video.

Great idea N'Star!

Sounds like fun Nova

A video of a group discussion about general saber knowledge might be a cool place to start... Maybe have an example of a custom saber and go through it in sections and discuss your different preferences for doing things. You could start with wiring, heat shrink, routing, chassis, resonance, spacing, switch placement & mounting, heat sink, etc... kind of move through a hilt and discuss what the different saber smiths like to do and use. I bet there are a lot of personal preferences that all work well but differ a great deal.
