    Hmm... a little weird on the poll, since:

    * I build both "Jedi" and "Sith" sabers... although I never really think of it that way anyhow, since the color doesn't always determine the wielder...

    * Although I USED to use solely thick-walled blades (BOP I & BOP II)... I switched to thin back in late 2007 (mainly for what was going to be BOP III), and never looked back.

    So... I guess I'll have to go with no vote here... but--yup, I told y'all what I do. Thin-walled these days. Although I have two or three nice thick-walled blades if I ever wanna plug 'em back into the Flange III (and IV!) sabers someday.

    Finally... if it's a question again that n00bz might ask about... both types are extremely resilient to damage, and even though I'd not recommend pitting a thin-walled VS. a thick-walled for dueling an opponent (as in you have X, he has Y)... it's not all that bad unless one of you is going completely out-of-control + insanity + hogwild + roid rage...

    weird...I was under the impression more people were doing thin walled and so people claim but the poll is leaning the other way. I might be wrong.

    I do more jedi then sith sabers.

    I haven't tried thin walled but since I wanna duel and sand my blades thick walled seemed like the best option. I heard thin walled are a bit bendy as well.

    Well considering I only own 1 blade currently, its thick walled. On the list to get a thin walled blade.

    Beyond my 1st saber I have 2 others I'm working on - 1 sith sinktube and a jedi project.

    Tend towards Jedi but Sith has some unique design queues that I like to play with.

    For customer sabers, I always go with the 1" blades. It's not worth it to me to try and convince them of anything else. For personal stuff, I prefer 3/4" blades because I think they look more accurate in terms of size. A little harder to get lit evenly, but if done right, they are every bit as bright as their 1" counterparts.

    I think a lot of people, (like myself) starting off think to themselves...
    "A thinwalled blade? I want this saber to be tough, I'm getting thick..."

    And then they find Thinwalls are pretty dang strong, and they are noticably brighter...
